What is the time and cost in USD to travel from Santo Domingo to Puerto Plata? Staying at Villas Jazmin in Puerto Plata and would love to hear from someone who has been there recently.

Also what type of celebrations are planned in Puerto Plata for Independence Day?

Any mosquito info and illness updates would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Depending on your arrival time you can take a taxi $25US from SDQ to Metro or Caribe Bus Terminal and then for under $10US pp there are hourly buses (6 am - 6 pm) to Puerto Plata (4 hrs). Then a taxi $10US to Costambar where Villas Jazmin is located.
