Cofresi
Holidays
A sweeping bay of sand backed by palm trees and the occasional souvenir stall, Cofresi is located a short distance to the west of Puerto Plata. It began its life as a tranquil fishing village, but has gained popularity due to its truly divine golden sandy beach lapped by crystal clear waters. One of the main attractions in the area is the Ocean World aquarium, featuring an immense dolphin lagoon. Entertainment and dining is mainly hotel-based.
Hotels & Villas
Cofresi lies ten kilometres to the west of Puerto Plata, the capital of the Amber Coast. It was named after an infamous Puerto Rican pirate, Captain Roberto Cofresi - regarded by many as a Puerto Rican version of Robin Hood, due to his practise of sharing his bounty with the needy. What began as a small fishing village is now a stunning resort, with a divine golden sandy beach lapped by crystal clear waters.
