This may have recently gotten a name change. We went to the Ambar Mine Museum in the downtown Puerto Plata downtown area. We enjoyed our tour with Rasiel. She was a wealth of info and an enjoyable gu…Full review by TexSLP

Stefanie was an amazing guide and gave so much information about the cigar process and tobacco. Loved the experience from smoking a cigar to tasting the rum. Excellent!Full review by Nomad47850319258

Questions & answers

Q:
Hello! Do you know if there are a free cat parking nearby the museum?
A:
Not sure, since we walked there. I recommend you go by taxi to the colonial area. There are many places worth visiting once you are there. The taxis are safe and cheap.
Q:
Does clear blue amber shine more than blue amber with objects in it?
A:
I do not remember seeing blue amber but the golden amber seemed to be just as clear as the pieces with items in it. I would not say either one particularly shines.

I don’t know much about stones, but I know for certain they sell Larimar and Amber. There may be a trip which you can do through your holiday rep, and it would probably be …

I don’t know much about stones, but I know for certain they sell Larimar and Amber. There may be a trip which you can do through your holiday rep, and it would probably be included in a city tour. Alternatively you could book a taxi, and I’m guessing you would be paying $40 - $60 (I normally stay at Bachata, so I’m trying to remember how far away Iberostar is) The actual entry is free, but the guide asks for tips at the end. The shop itself is below the museum. Again, entry is free. The jewellery is decently priced. Not sure how much what you’re looking for would cost though. :)
Q:
What is the current admission cost? I can't seem to find anything on the website.
A:
We did it through the bus tour and it was free. Would recommend doing the bus tour that offers it there are a lot of other sites it will take you to.
