Iberostar Costa Dorada

Was not as nice as another Iberostar I stayed at in the past, also upon arrival soap and shampoo bottles were empty and was a condom wrapper in one of the house coats [Details]

Second time at this hotel was GREAT vacation lots of activities and an amazing staff ,My wife and I have been to many different resorts over time but this place is the top of my list, the room had been upgraded since the last time we were there the bed was very comfortable and the walk in shower was excellent we where given a welcome back fruit tray and a bottle of rum and an invite to a cocktail party to meet the management , will be going back next spring for a longer stay. [Details]

We have been here for 3 day so far and we just love it. Some rooms don't have the greatest view, but you can be upgraded easily and quickly. The food is very good. Everyone is friendly. The beach is kept in immaculate condition. Stay here and you will not be disappointed! We will be back! Do not listen to the negative reviews... This resort is fantastic! [Details]

Staff was great, facilities and grounds were nice. Rooms a little outdated but fine. A good all inclusive that was in a great location to get out and see the local area by taxi or walking. [Details]

Wé have stayed at this resort 10 times in the last 11 years and have always had an excellent vacation. Food is very good with sufficient variety for even picky eaters.Grounds are beautiful and well maintained. Personnel friendly and very helpfull and accommodating. Rooms need refreshing however they are very clean and cleaning staff is great. The room we had last trip had a renovated bathroom and was comfortable. Beach sometimes has a sea weed problem however there was no seaweed during our first week this year.We spend all day at the beach and beach itself is clean. Shows in the evening are usually excellent often with a great live band and an excellent dance troupe.Quality wifi throughout the resort at least in our room in block 5 and at the beach. [Details]

This very clean and well laid out resort was our home for a week. We felt completley safe. The staff and entertainment crew were all very good. Our room was very clean and had been updated. The bed was very comfortable but the pillows were hard and flat. Our room was on the 3rd floor and overlooked the beautiful pool. The food was very good with so much variety and it appeared to have items that suited all dietary restrictions. The beach was very nice but sadly the garbage that would wash up (no fault of the resort) was a reminder of how poorly we treat our planet.. [Details]

Had a awesome week, it is definitely a 4 1/2 star. The food was excellent, the drinks we very good, very clean, the staff very helpful and friendly. Lots of activities around the pool daily. .Good location on beach. Would definitely return. [Details]

My wife and another couple stayed 7 days at Iberostar Costa Dorada and we quite enjoyed the resort itself. The staff was quite friendly and willing to help. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The pool area was clean & spacious with no shortage of places to sit. The beach was beautiful, it had a lot of seaweed washed up but the ocean was very rough while we were there (unusual) so this I don't believe is common. And most importantly, the food was fantastic. Definitely check out the a la carts restaurants. [Details]

The resort is large but not huge, just appropriate to accomodate lots of guests who came to celebrate the New Year at Iberostar Costa Dorada. The room we got in buiding 5 was upgraded recently, very clean and large - we had a king size bed. The service throughout was excellent. The beach is both long and wide, with lots of palapas and trees. We did not get bothered by beach salespeople altough we felt for them as this is one of the few sources of their limited income. [Details]

The hotel is easy to get to and close to the airport.
They great you and get you through the check in so quick. Lenny does a great job and looked after all of our requests.
The entertainment staff is the best! Hulu Hulu, Pepsi, Wifi really make our holiday great! They are so fun and have so much energy. This is why we come back here.
Domingo is the best wait staff you could ask for. So kind and caring, really goes above and beyond [Details]

Le site est très bien. Le service est impeccable! Les restos à la cartes sont difficiles à réserver à des heures convenables, mais j'en ai eu deux sur trois! Japonais à ne pas manquer et le mexicain est bon. Éviter les chambres au rdc ça pu l'humidité et pas un peu. Même nos valises sentaient l'humidité à notre retour! La plage est belle mais la mer pleine d'algues et 1 jour sur 7 de baignade trop de vagues. La pluie était annoncée presque tout les jours mais elle ne s'est jamais présentée de jour. Le site est très propre. Le bloc 7 côté opposé à la piscine sent la [Details]

Was a fairly big resort but easy to find your way around. Staff was super friendly and would help out when needed. Power in our room went out and went to front desk to tell them about it and it was fixed within 20 min. The grounds are well kept and clean. Beach was big. Cant complain about the food, it was good all around. [Details]

Yordin at the front desk was friendly and check-in/out was quick. Paula and Santiago at the restaurant(s) as well as our housemaid(s) were friendly. Entertainment/animation team and other resort staff could be a little bit more friendlier/approachable. Food was OK, fountain drink was not great (IE coke, pineapple juice etc.) but you can get it at the bar for a better quality. The beach area where the hotel is located is not quite as good as the resort beside it (BE LIVE) but again beach is public so you can walk there to play/swim in the ocean. BEWARE of the sales pitch about "STAR PRESTIGE" (timeshare) or try not to make an impulse decision to sign up (you might end up regretting it--it is not for everyone) and heads up the sales staff can be pushy and the "FINANCIAL SUPERVISOR" is rude if you do not sign up. Locals are here on the weekends so it is loud. Again, for the price we paid for we can't really complain about our stay. [Details]

Had an amazing 7 days experience. Everything was well organized. Felt totally safe. [Details]

Had another wonderful week at this beautiful resort. Staff Christina, Kennedy and Carlos are outstanding! Only issue was the beach having alot of seaweed washing up every day which put a damper on our ocean bathing.
The staff did a good job raking and removing but it was ongoing everyday. So if your a beach person, this resort may not be for you until they resolve this issue. [Details]

Absolutely wonderful, no complaints. [Details]

Great experience. Even better food! Staff is so friendly and always helpful. Always a smile on their faces and ready to help. Special thanks to Angela, she was lovely. [Details]

Fabulous time, Great animation staff Barbie, Pepsi and Wifi made sure you were involved and had fun.There was always a many activities to choose from. Ony from the lobby bar and Denis from beach buffet bar so friendly and best [Details]

My husband and I celebrated our birthdays at the Iberostar Costa Dorada. This was our 11th time at this hotel. We have not bee back since the last few years but was not disappointed at all in visiting this resort again. Thanks to Juan Lewis, Elizabeth, Mario, Maria Jose Berbel, Rafael, hulu hulu, Kemo, and the animation and entertainment team, Eduardo for writing and directing the beautiful shows and the beautiful band especially the saxophone player Eddie. Special thank you to Juan Familia for all the mouth watering dishes he prepared for us and Gabriel for always checking in with us and all the other guest at the restaurants to ensure we are doing fine.
Thanks to all the maids, waiters and waitresses, gardners ,front desk staff and everyone else who contributed to making our stay a memorable one.

This hotel still is a gem. It's the best hotel in Puerto Plata along with the best staff and location. The food every day is prepared by qualified chefs and served with love. The food is very tasty and there are so many varieties to choose from including a variety of desserts. There are many varieties of alcohol for those who like to try different drinks.

The pool is beautiful with a wonderful swim up bar. The beach has some seaweeds but that is expected in the Caribbean. The surroundings and landscape is well maintained by the gardeners.

Overall I would recommend this hotel to anyone. I am looking forward to going back at this hotel because it has a touch of everything you need and want in a vacation. [Details]

Everything was great here. Check-in to the room to the service to the beach- all great. Only thing I disliked was the variety of the buffet foods and deserts, but the taste was good. Stayed in room 7118, pool view room, there was no extra wall plugs to charge anything, not sure if other rooms were same. Tons of shade and chairs between the pool or beach. Juan Felix - amazing waiter/bartender. [Details]

I had a very nice week at Iberostar Costa Dorada. I travelled solo. I spent most days by the beach - i'm not much of a pool person - and the beach was very nice. It was long and great for walks. The weather for my entire week was fantastic.

The food was very good. Lots of variety. Hot food was served hot, and cold food was served cold. This isn't always the case when you travel down south. I only ate at the buffet so can't comment on the a la carte restaurants.

Aside from the beach and the food, i didn't do very much so can't speak too intelligently about it.

Overall, the resort was great and i had a great time. I would certainly return again. [Details]

The rooms are very dated and in need of a total renovation. There is definitely prostitution with young Dominican woman going on there that the staff tends to overlook. The beach is extremely weedy to the point of not wanting to go into it. [Details]

Second time at this resort....going back again! Amazing people and lovely resort. Very clean! If you take the time to get to know some of the staff your time spent here will be even better. Very good value for your dollar and amazing weather. This will be an annual trip for sure!! [Details]

The hotel has a good location, the room are a good size but it was the only thing we like the rest in the room was a bad experience for us , our room was clean around 4:00 p.m. every day and it was very light cleaning, also we found cockroaches inside the room. Cleaning should be better for the price of the hotel.This should be 3 stars no 5 stars hotel.
It was our first time in Iberostar. [Details]

What an amazing experience! The hotel was beautiful and clean! The staff was so friendly and accommodating. The room was very clean and comfortable. The food was always fresh and always available. The drinks were perfect ! The pool water was perfect! Especially since I usually find pools way to cold!
I am already planning my vacation back! [Details]

Nothing at all wrong with this travel experience. We thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the great resort. The units were clean, the staff friendly and helpful, and the resort amazing!
The food was incredible in all the restaurants and we were particularly impressed with Chef Gabriel who went over the top with excellent service. [Details]

I had a wonderful 2 weeks at this resort. Everything was close, the pool, beach buffets. The best service from the wait staff who got to know us. The food was amazing always fresh, lots of variety, especially my friend was vegan. The chef Carlos Gabriel Diaz Bautista made sure everything was up to expectations. [Details]

Had a great time at this resort. Excellent food and everyone was very friendly. I met a chef named Gabriel who works there and he made my experience much better from being friendly and showing me around the resort and always being enthusiastic and funny! If you are on the beach and a guy in a blue shirt tries to get you to come buy stuff, you may go but only if you are ready to shop and bring only a certain amount of money. Nothing bad to say about my trip! [Details]

The hotel was not too big or too small, the pool was just the right size for myself and my fiance. The food at the snack bar and Buffet were absolutely incredible great selection. The service staff in the buffet were extremely amazing. Our rooms were cleaned every day and they did an amazing job. It was my first time to this Resort and I would recommend it to all of my family and friends. Would be more than happy to return. [Details]

We stayed at this hotel for a week, and the trip was amazing. The food was excellent every night thanks to Gabriel! He met us almost every night making sure everything was good and really enhanced our trip. My kids definitely made a friend.
The beach was very windy, so our swimming in the ocean was limited. There was a basketball court and tennis courts that we used, and played beach volleyball and ping pong. There were various activities during the day to keep us busy. We had a great time sitting by the pool and going to the shows.
The room was clean, and our room was made up and restocked daily. We went through a lot of water, but the maids responded by putting a few extra. [Details]
