<h2 class="tt-h2">Best stops to consider</h2>
<ul>
  <li>Ocean World for the easiest big family attraction near the resort.</li>
  <li>Cofresi Beach and Costambar for low-logistics beach time.</li>
  <li>Mount Isabel cable car for views without a full hiking day.</li>
  <li>Puerto Plata historic center for photos, snacks, and a short city walk.</li>
  <li>Damajagua only when the kids are strong swimmers and the adults want an active day.</li>
  <li>Amber Cove or Taino Bay as cruise-port crossovers when the family likes controlled areas.</li>
</ul>

<h2 class="tt-h2">How to make the day work</h2>
<p>Alternate active and easy days. Put water parks, waterfalls, and longer drives early in the day; save beach, pool, and simple dinners for recovery.</p>

<h2 class="tt-h2">Planning caution</h2>
