My husband and I traveled for the first time to the Dominican Republic with another couple - and we had a wonderful stay at the beautiful Iberostar Costa Dorada all-inclusive. The resort is very well-maintained. Its public areas are elegantly appointed, and the rooms are spacious, light, and extremely clean. The pool is large and beautiful, and the beach is... more

Where shall I start? Everything about this holiday was excellent! My only complaint is a few thunder storms we had, but as they were late in the afternoon when we getting ready for dinner and it wasn't the fault of the company, it is completely irrelevant. We chose to upgrade our seats on the flight with Thomas Cook, which was... more

I spent a week at the Iberostar over my birthday. We were looking for a great place to relax for the week and that is what we received. I have been to Mexico six times so I can compare it to some of the best Mexico has to offer. As far as quality, it was a very nice hotel. It... more

We have been to the DR 8 times-4 times to Puerto Plata and four to Punta Cana. Overall, I feel this resort was the best value.

The entertainment was good and if you wanted... more

I'll keep this short. Like most, I was a bit concerned with some of the reviews and complaints. Let me sum it up...grilled lobster on the buffet...and perfectly cooked. I was in shock. The food was great and if you like seafood, there is well prepared fish at virtually ever meal, along with a large array of selections and choices... more
