Wonderful resort!

The grounds were beautiful, clean and well manicured. The room was nothing special but how much time do you spend in your room anyway? The pool was large and wonderful. We enjoyed our vacation and would recommend it! The only negative is that the room had alot of humidity so much so that the sheets felt wet when you finally go to bed.

Mother/Daughter Vacay

This resort was Amazing! Everything was clean and well maintained and compact. Staff were awesome! Big beautiful pool, with lots of loungers.You do not have to get up early to save a chair. Food was excellent. The Mexican and Japanese restaurants are a must try. Great beach with lots of loungers. My room was spacious and very clean and had everything you could need. Very modern. The Spa was lovely. Will definitely return. FYI:SMOKER FRIENDLY

Lovely Resort

Very enjoyable stay. Good food. Lots of lounge chairs. Very friendly staff. My only complaint was that on the last day check out was at noon and the flight home was not until 10:00 pm. I will not book a package with that departure time ever again.

Nice resort, amazing service but lack of maintenance

We recently had an azing stay at the resort. I was very please by the quality of the service. The people were dedicated to address any of our needs with a large smile. However, we had multiple issues with the window and after the team came to fix the lock, the frame of the window was broken. It was quiet dangerous since the glass was not sucurly attached. I asked for someone to fix it but no one came...

Don't Expect too much!

We stayed at this resort from June 30-July 4. Overall it was ok. The few staff members we interacted were great from beginning to end. The food was ok nothing to rave about. The beach was very nice. There were a few mishaps like on our last night the resort had no water. The entertainment is only for the locals. If you are looking for something cheap this is the resort. Don't expect too much. This was my second visit and I noticed the decrease in care and value of the place.

Very very descent!

Nice overall. Can only think of positives. Had a super vacation. Staff is friendly and amazing in general. Long line to check in but we forgot about it as soon as we entered our air conditioned room and went straight to the beach. Never used pools which they have several. The water there is as hot as pee.

Amazing Resort

We just returned from Iberostar Costa Dorado and don't have any complaints. This was our second time at this resort. The resort was well maintained, there were a ton of beach loungers and our room was great. The only complaint we have is the outside vendors that are brought in are extremely pushy. They do not take no for an answer and were getting very upset with us if we did not buy anything. We would not hesitate to return for another vacation.

Amazing Resort

This was an incredible experience!! We went with 18 family members of various ages and each one of us had a great time! The food was incredible, pool was warm, and the drinks were cold! You will not be disappointed here!

Amazing All-Inclusive and great, prompt service from TripCentral!

Great all-inclusive resort with very friendly hospitality! The resort was a bit dated but well maintained, for the price I am not complaining! Very family friendly, however, keep in mind there are no elevators for higher level rooms so make sure you check with concierge if you have babies w/ strollers! Overall, would go back! Thank you Iberostar and Tripcentral.

Great Resort

It’s a beautiful resort, lovely landscaping, friendly staff - chocolate & vanilla taught me archery skills and I won 3 tournaments in a row, it was a great feeling, enjoyed every minute of my time at this resort. Food was amazing, the housekeeping staff was so nice and friendly too! The only thing i would suggest for the resort to take note of is updating the rooms, especially the bathrooms as they were dated for a 4 star resort. And wish they had a café shop with a separate lounge. Other the [... read more]n that, our stay at this place was great 👍

Amazing experience

The resort is beautiful and the grounds are very well kept. Staff is amazing and very helpful. The food is excellent and has a great selection for everyone. I must say the beach barbecues were excellent. Our room was fine and we had hot water all the time. The showers in the older rooms are hand held and they do splash wayer on the floor but we just put a towel on the floor no big deal. Lots for everyone to do on resort with the entertainment thru the day if you want to participate. Nice long be [... read more]ach to walk .

Very Nice Resort

Our fourth stay at an Iberostar Resort. Although this hotel is a little older than the others we stayed in it was very enjoyable. Hotel and grounds and beach are all kept very clean. We had a pool view room on the third floor. Was excellent. Room and balcony a nice size. Always found something good to eat at the buffet and the Italian and Japanese Restaurants were excellent. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Costa Dorada.

Great resort

Everything great except they do not accept Cnd. money at their hotel currency exchange.!! Only U.S. and Euro's. Had to get taxi($60 U.S. return) to change money at City currency exchange. I believe you should highlight this when advising clients visiting this hotel to perhaps change at airport on arrival. Entertainment at night is pathetic, grade 5 school level. T.V. has NO shows in English for kids or adults. Surely they can afford U.S. cable stations??  [... read more] Will try somewhere else next year for these reasons..

Good 4 star

Buffet was great. Japanese restaurant and Mexican restaurant okay. Italian restaurant terrible. Drinks were terrible especially at the beach and pool bars. Staff were excellent, very friendly. Resort has a nice layout and feel but rooms and overall amenities need a refresh.

Iberostar… always our favourite!

The last six getaway trips have been to Iberostar in Jamaica twice , la Romana twice, and lastly in Varadero. After our three year absence due to Covid…. We ventured to the Iberostar Costa Dorada in puerto plata. Well, we were not disappointed.. it is a lovely and well maintained hotel. They are environmentally responsible in all areas. Impeccable service, spotless rooms and excellent food! The beach is nice and pool area is spacious and very popular! I highly recommend this resort.. proba [... read more]bly the best in puerto plata!

Great Value for the Money

Everything was excellent for a 4 star hotel, the rooms, the pool, the grounds, the food, but especially the staff. Food service, bar and maintenance staff all excellent. Hope to return again in the future.

Great week at Iberostar Costa Dorada

A fun and relaxing week at this beautiful resort. The staff were all amazing. Special Cuoto's to Kennedy, Carlos and Dulcee. This was our 5th time staying at this resort. If I could make one suggestion. Have some drink service at the pool. 4 servers taking drink orders would be an added upgrade to an already beautiful resort.

Average 3.5

This is a nice resort. I would rate it 3.5 star .The staff was friendly. The grounds kept clean. Entertainment was average. One area that can be improved is food quality and variety. Breakfast had plenty of fried hotdogs and baloney. Unfortunately these are not what I would consider breakfast meats. Bacon was scares . Out of the 10 days we were there they served bacon on 3 of those days and no breakfast sausage on any days. Lunch buffet was the same every day ,pizza hamburgers salads and limited [... read more] lunch meats. The A la cart restaurants were average. The Italian restaurant served only pasta dishes. There was no veal or chicken parm,no lasagna , no pizza. I would not recommend the ltalian. Japanese and Mexican A la cart were good not great. If you are looking for a steak dinner this is not the resort you will find it at. The beach is kept clean. Seaweed was cleaned every morning .Overall a pleasant resort but I don't think I would go back to it. There are many better options on the island for $100 or $200 more. I was in Punta Cana on my last visit to the island which has much newer construction. Puerto Plata is a much older location and it shows.

Resosrt is beyond any 5 stars resorts

Service, cleanles, food, entertainment and facility are applicable to 8 stars. Iberostar Costa Dorada has one problem with beach, too much sea plants on the beach and this is the ocean fault. Staff tried to clean the beach but this helped only for few hours

Awesome resort

Check in didn't exactly go as planned,{assigned room was not ready until the following day} once settled in the accommodations were fantastic. All the staff were very friendly but had no explanation for the mishap. Food was readily available throughout the day but limited in the evenings ,{Brasilia restaurant no longer available}. Evening entertainment was also limited and repetitive. Beach and pool were fantastic!
