Some of the most interesting scenery in
this vast Caribbean island is west of
Puerto Plata. A pleasant way to see a
a part of it is to drive to Luperon about
an hour from Villa Cafemba, through the
picturesque countryside and villages on
your way to a final destination -- the
place where Columbus landed and built
the first settlement in the New World.
Savor the historic moment, plan some
time on the beach and later perhaps a
look at the small boats at anchor in the
Luperon marina to finish the adventure.

In the other direction, a 15 minute drive
and half way to Sosua is Playa Dorada,
the hotel complex with casinos, discos,
plaza center and Robert Trent Jones golf
course. In Sosua the popular horseshoe
beach provides snorkeling, scuba diving
& other water sports. In Cabarete, 15
minutes further east, windsurfing is the
big attraction. Enjoy a drink or lunch at
the beach while watching the surfers’
antics and their colorful sails aimlessly
cavorting. Should a round of golf at the
spectacular Playa Grande course be your
focus, the delightful ocean surf at the
famous beach provides fun for others in
your group. The Playa Grande trip takes
you through Rio San Juan, a 90 minute
ocean drive from Villa Cafemba.

Turn left around circle go about a block go to your right then straight again will take you west on Circunvalancion Blvd. all of the way through and past Puerto Plata city about a mile past the city limits to the Costambar entry road right side opposite an Industrial Park. Wind around this little Costambar road to the gate.
Costambar,” is where Villa Cafemba is located, After entering the gate, the first road to the right (Gurabito) intersects with Guayacanes up and around a steep hill to your right keep straight on Guayacanes till you go down the long hill road. Villa Cafemba is at the curve on your left.. You’ll see the big Satellite Dish. If you get lost, ask: Donde esta Costambar, most everyone knows.
