Iberostar Costa Dorada Vacations

4.7 - 14977 Reviews
Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic
Set in lush tropical gardens and designed in grand Colonial style, this expansive hotel manages to offer an intimate feel with its romantic gazebos, winding walkways, and colourful peacocks roaming the grounds. Gaze into one of the small ponds to watch the ducks and turtles splash about, or take a splash yourself in the large free-form pool. Iberostar Costa Dorada has it all: fabulous beach, great food, and a variety of excellent facilities – including spa services!

Location: Beachfront, 25 minutes from the airport and 10 minutes from downtown Puerto Plata.
Our Opnion

One of the most beautiful resorts in all of the Dominican. Top notch food, service, amenities, pools and rooms. The expansive buffet leaves nothing to be desired and overall, this is the best you will get in Puerto Plata. Recommended without hesitation.

We enjoyed to resort, good ambience and food. The beach was clean and the grounds lovely. The only downside was the Internet was weak except in the lobby. My wife has to go to the lobby for a zoom meeting.
All in all a great time.
The dive shop on site was helpful and we had a good dive. The amenities were fine. The pool was large and clean.
The restaurants were all good. We especially liked the lunch on the beach.

Security is first rate here. After an afternoon at the pool, my friend left his shorts under his lounge chair. Security found it, with all of his cash and credit cards still there. On another day my friends and I were walking along the beach and security tracked us down and told us to turn back because 'they couldn't patrol past the river'. As for the amenities, I highly, highly recommend a massage. Yes it is expensive but wow are these women good. I also recommend using the resort's taxi concierge for any day trips, and for the love of God do go off resort, this piece of the world is just magical.

I loved the Star Friends animation, it fascinated me. The room is perfect. The food was very good but above all the attention of the staff. Rambo and Corre Camino have been extraordinary and the bartender Miguel provided quality service.

I love it 🤩 the beach everything is good everything is on its way the animation is very fun, everything is excellent

The hotel is spectacular, meets all 5-star expectations, the live music night was spectacular, I actually loved the atmosphere. The animation is great, the boys are super friendly, Smile, Correcamino, excellent service. Especially Smile excellent job. The bar guys excellent service Miguel from snap bar, Elvis and fermin from Agua Bar excellent guys

Great place! Rambo was fun!

I met Rambo, who asked me to write a comment... haha ​​which I will do with Plaisir!!!
Honestly, I've visited several hotels in the Dominican Republic and it's a big favorite for us here!!
Excellent service!! Wow food!! Very clean. Lots of chairs and places with shade.
Fast bar service!! The staff is courteous and non-invasive!! I love the stay here!! I strongly advise it.
Beautiful beach but don't take the plunge, around the resort on the beach, there is more waste but opposite the hotel it is very clean and accessible for swimming

Absolutely Loved our week vacation there. Beach view room was amazing. Staff was Absolutely wonderful! Food was amazing! So much to choose from. Loved the refillable filtered water stations (to save on plastic use) the beach access is great but the coral and waves were rough each day. Not a lot of time spent in the beach part due to that. But the views are awesome as you would imagine. Great experience all in all

Decided to take a family vacation over to Iberostar Costa Dorada and it was nothing short of amazing! The staff were extremely friendly, caring and hard working. The restaurants were all well set-up, clean and the food was great. Has a pool and a pool-bar, beach, table tennis, fun activities and many more. Si están buscando un lugar donde pasarse un buen tiempo, no miren para otro lado, aquí en Iberostar van a crear memorias inolvidable!

Animation so very good (rambo, Ismael, pikachu, pina colada, chocolate) everything is really great! THANKS

Stayed for a week with my family (me, hubby and 10yr old) .
Had an amazing time . Pool is very nice , lots of seating.we didn’t get to hang out beach much because it was just too windy . Of course perfect when we are leaving, Service was great, everyone very friendly. Buffet was pretty good . Three a la carte was pretty delicious. Best one was Italian -salmon and risotto , then Japanese, then Mexican . Room was pretty decent . Lobby , seating area is very nice, relaxing .
The entertainment team was pretty amazing and friendly to get everyone involved. Star team- Pickachu , Rambo, smiley , Pina colada . My two favorite--Chocolate(great time in archery) and Batman.
The only thing that I would suggest , to have entertainment until 12am instead of 11. I know they all have to wake up early and work all day . But some can’t go to disco . Even if just some music in the main area.

Otherwise had pretty amazing time. Wish we could have stayed longer instead of going back in deep freeze. I would definitely come back .

Review for kids- the pool is at least 4.1ft. Just bring floaties for the littles.

Suggestion for resort - get the slush machines for pina coladas and daiquiris, it would make it faster. Not that it was bad , would help the bartenders I think . My son loves daquiries but very inconsistent with the flavor. Always sour, only had it twice that was sweeter .

Excellent hotel, 1A attention, excellent entertainment guys, Rambo, smile, pikachu, run the road, palm, pina colada and chocolate

Good service, perfect hotel, its food is one of the best in the northern area and its excellent services Rambo Picachu👌👌👌

An incredible experience!
A delightful staff ..
Worth it!

Excellent week. Everything was fantastic. Food, entertainment and the beach was excellent. Will definitely be coming back!!

I went on vacation here with friends. Beach, food and entertainment was all amazing. The staff, especially pina colada, rambo, pikachu and super joe made this an amazing experience, will definitely recommend to friends!

Animation very good specially super Joe and Batman! They did an amazing job

Hotel is amazing specially super joe animation very good

Villa was very great entertaining and very pleasant to be with on Archery.
Miguel at the bar was a great serverer
Frank and Robert at the Buffet had great service to us and treated us well!
Smiley was a great sports person and enjoyed my time.e at the resort with her.
Padreo did a great job at the grill with our eggs and omelets
After being there for 10 days we found that there was alot of cruise ships in and made the resort very busy.
Westjet also gave the wrong intenarary and we are now stranded down here on day 4 now with no way getting home yet.

Very fun activity’s very nice view I enjoyed the views and cocolate(employee) very funny friendly
