Iberostar Costa Dorada Reviews

The Iberostar Costa Dorada provided a spectacular winter break for an extended family of a 2 year-old boy, his parents and his grandparents. The beach was beautiful, safe enough for a child to play and uncrowded enough for the adults to enjoy in relative privacy. The all-inclusive restaurant was perfect for the family: no need to wait for service, a huge variety of delicious food for every taste and a particularly attentive and pleasant waitstaff. The rooms were attractive and comfortable, but with so much to do, we spent very little time in our rooms. We are looking forward to a return visit..

This was our first trip thru Cheapcaribbean.com. They prepared you with all of your travel vouchers in advance and it was smooth travelling the entire trip, no surprises or additional expenses. We stayed at the Iberostar in Puerto Plata Dominican Republic. The service was precise and friendly..from the front desk, pool personnel, to the restaurants and shops. We met many return vacationers from Germany, Ireland, Scotland etc. Some even were on their 3rd trips..We would return again, NO QUESTION! Lovely hotel, very accommadating staff and wonderful ameneties. Christina

All of our expectations were met and exceeded. 4 of us went in December of 2009 to celebrate our anniversaries. We had emailed the Resort and requested a ocean view on the same floor. We were accomodated perfectly and we both had a welcome fruit basket and complimentary bottle of rum. Things we liked: close to airport so the transfer time in minimal checkin was easy room was pleasant and deck was great (bed was very comfortable) food in the buffet was beyond excellent. Great variety and quality. grounds were beautiful drinks were good with premium brands available (not a fan of brugal rum however) Beach and beach chairs, shade, etc plentiful pool area beautiful and lounges easy to find location to city excellent service was very good and staff were very friendly Less than great: Entertaibment was poor (they did try hard) Brugal rum is not great amd variety of rum drinks was limited the buffet was better than the speciality restaurants The vacation was great and we would go back. We liked being close to the city and we thought the resort was a tremendous value.

My husband and I have not had a vacation alone together since we started having children almost 6 years ago. This was a last minute trip, but we have been to Iberostar resorts before, so we knew at least the resort would be nice. Service was great, rooms were nice, food was enjoyable. There were two things that made our overall trip a 4 instead of a 5...first, it rained the first two days (we only went for 5). That is out of the resorts hands, I know. The second was that the beaches in this part of the Domincan compare nothing to the white sandy beaches of Punta Cana. If I had to book the trip again, I would go to the other side of the island, but I would definitely recommend Iberostar.

this place was really special , good rates, very good food, hotel pretty cool and animation people and services very very awesome.. .............thanks to the all team.......

My husband and I honeymooned here in October. We were originally supposed to stay elsewhere but unfortunately that resort shut its doors for good before we got there. It seemed to be a blessing in disguise though because this resort was absolutely beautiful. The spa was nice and its services were great. The only thing that we found to be a little lacking was the entertainment. Otherwise, the restaurants were great, with many different options including some specialty delicacies. The staff was eager to please and after the first night would even have a table waiting for us. There were plenty of loungers around the resort so there was never a shortage of places to relax. All around a wonderful place to visit.

We have a place in Costumbar, DR and have be going for 12 years. Air fare keeps going up and it cost us $750.00 just to fly. This year we went to Costumbar but we added Iberostar Costa Dorada at the end of our trip for the last week because the cost for the whole week and air fare was the same cost that we would have had to pay just for the air fare. We really enjoyed Iberostar Costa Dorada. It was clean, great food (all incllusive), super pool, and wonderful beach. A great way to end our vacation except for one thing. I gained 10 pounds. Nils

My husband and I are very big on avoiding package deals and tours. We like to plan our own vacations around the world and explore the area on our own terms, sampling the regional cuisine at local dining favorites. Staying at an all-inclusive resort was a big trusting step for us since I have heard horror stories about getting stuck in a resort with sub-par food and surroundings. Iberostar Costa Dorada exceeded our expectations. Sure the drinks are watered down as you would expect, but the property, activities and the food more than made up for it. We were there for eight days and therefore got to sample 3 of the restaurants in addition to the daily buffet. The restaurants were good, but the main buffet area was by far your best bet for a tasty variety of foods. We were amazed at the variety each night and the quality of the food which included local fare and amazing fruits. The beach was beautiful and I don't think the fact that the sand was not pure white took away from anything. Plenty of space to find a thatched umbrella on the beach or poolside and no real reason to leave the resort. We would come back in a heartbeat.

This olace was woderful on all accounts . One truly exceptional place to stay and one gorgeous Island .

The service, food, and beauty of this resort were all great. I really liked the club at this resort. I have been to other resorts, but having a nightclub on the property like this one made this the place to be.
