My stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. The ocean view from my room was stunning, but the room itself was a bit stale and could have used some updates. The staff were incredibly accommodating and really added to the experience. While the location by the beach was great for enjoying the sun, the dining options didn't fully meet my expectations, particularly with the variety on offer. Overall, it had its perks, but there are definitely areas that need improvement.

I recently had the best vacation ever at Iberostar Costa Dorada in Puerto Plata. The resort has luxurious accommodations, a beautiful beach, and a fantastic variety of food options. The staff went above and beyond to ensure a memorable experience for my family, especially during special moments like my wife's birthday. If I had to nitpick, there were some minor room issues and a few areas of seaweed at the beach, but overall, it was a wonderful experience that I highly recommend.

We had an unforgettable stay at the resort! The beach and the pool were great, providing plenty of relaxation. The buffet was outstanding with an amazing variety, although we struggled with finding a poolside seat due to early towel reservations. The service from the staff, especially at the beach bar, was remarkable, but we did face some pushiness from timeshare representatives. Overall, it was a fantastic vacation with a few minor drawbacks.

This hotel truly impressed me with its excellent service and well-maintained facilities. The beach is stunning, and the grounds are beautifully landscaped. However, I did encounter some small issues with the cleanliness around the pool towards the weekend, and my room had a bit of a musty smell at first due to the humid climate.
