I like to see these historic locations; but this is really a place to see once and leave. Not a lot of information or context. Just a verbal description as you walk around. A few displays, but not really informative.

Enjoyed all of it. head sets were provided in language of choice which enabled us to tour the fort and hear the description of each part of the tour very clearly. Amazing history.

The ticket is only $2.5, free audio guide included. You can have a walk around and enjoy the nice views of the Isabel mountain, the ocean and the harbor.

You are given these headphones and an audio recorder to listen to all the artifacts inside but we just were moving through too fast for the recording. The pictures taken at the fort were great. Really loved the architecture of the place, it's still standing, I recommend it!

We wanted to visit Fort San Felipe because we wanted to learn about Puerto Plata's history. Its easy and quick unless you want to linger. I regret that they did not have CDs with the history for sale. The headset device provided significant information and we liked it. We got great pictures.

I thought the fort was interesting. It was part of a city tour that we took. I have been to quite a few forts and they start to look a lot a like. I recommend going if it fits your schedule

We took our own taxi to the fort and loved that they gave us headsets with little devices that you typed in the number of the exibit you wanted to know about and it told you that information. Only 100 pesos to enter. Vendors are at the exit (mostly) but a polite smile and 'no gracias' and they leave you... More

This was a part of our city tour that included the rum factory, amber museum, City Square, Cathedral, and other points of interest. The fort is small and looks interesting from the exterior. You need to pay to get in. See other reviews for the self-guided tour info. Be prepared to run the gauntlet through the vendors when you get... More

Cheap to get in, includes boring audio tour. Very small. Museum exhibits explain very little of history or importance. Good views of the harbour and coast. A funny little stop, if you're into that.
