If you're keen on lounging under an umbrella, be ready to shell out some cash for drinks or snacks. Alternatively, you could just bring your own chairs, cooler, and munchies. After all, their beverages are a tad overpriced.

Despite the powerful waves, the beach attendants were incredibly friendly. I indulged in some delicious Dominican fish, which was expertly seasoned and cooked to perfection.

5 Tolerable

I must admit, the beach was quite pleasant. However, it lacked the energy and liveliness that I crave. The lack of crowds may be appealing to some, but for me, it just felt dull and lifeless. The shopping and food options were merely a distraction from the lack of excitement. Overall, this beach left me feeling underwhelmed and unimpressed.

This is a splendid beach that is popular among the locals on Costa Dorada in the Dominican Republic. It's only a short cab ride away from the Amber Cove cruise port, and the cost of the round-trip is approximately $20 per person. However, the driver stays with you all day to ensure that you don't miss your boat. The beach is never crowded, so you can enjoy your time here in peace. To rent a couple of loungers and an umbrella, you only need to pay $20, and you can purchase 750 ml bottles of wine for only $5. There is a small market known as the Orange Market, which serves as a landmark for cab drivers. Although there are a few pushy vendors, it's not a significant issue. There are also a couple of small restaurants, but they are not particularly noteworthy. The bathroom facilities are modern and well-maintained. We visit this beach every time we cruise to Amber Cove!
