Never been to the Caribbean before. We were booked into hotel and issued with our keys, towel cards, information sheets etc on the COACH TRANSFER from the airport. Arrived at hotel with keys in pocket and were greeted with ice cold cocktails which were very welcome - a great start to the holiday. We found the main restaurant excellent -... More

My boyfriend and I just returned on April 17th from our one week trip to the Iberostar Costa Dorada. We booked through west jet vacations and minus a delayed and messed up flight home, it was an easy booking. The hotel is very well maintained with staff constantly doing upkeep and cleaning the resort, beach, pool, etc. We tried out... More

We have just got back from a two week holiday at the Costa Dorada (still suffering withdrawal symptoms) and I have to say it was pretty special! Lets get the tiny niggles out the way first: check in and check out could have been a bit better. The second tiny niggle was the photographers that wonder around the pool and... More

This was our 9th visit and we cannot wait until next year! As soon as we entered the lobby the staff welcomed us back (they do remember you!) with open arms and we were just as excited to see them. This was our 9th visit but the first time bringing our 10 yr old son. He had a great time!... More

Just returned from a girls' trip to the Iberostar Costa Dorado. We had a great time for a great price. As mentioned by others, this is not a 5 star resort. I would say it is more like a 3.5. I have stayed at other resorts that had nicer grounds and a higher level of service. But for the price,... More

4 of us stayed a week during Easter and had a wonderful time. Shuttle to/from airport was less than 30 minutes, not including pickups or drop offs. We arrived around 6ish and checked in easily, but we didn't receive those nice welcome drinks, like other groups received throughout the week. Although fun to get upon arrival, they were very bright... More

I loved this hotel. The gardens are absolutely stunning and very well kept. Orchids growing on trees, a pond with turtles, another pond with flamingos, palm trees and exotic flowers everywhere and colorful cute little birds... surely, that's what paradise is like? We're not pool fans, but this pool is something else: huge and in beautiful settings, with plenty of... More

We traveled to this hotel as a family with 2 children. Check-In -- The check in itself was very slow due to the person split between different tasks. It took us some time to check in. This was probably the only problem at this resort Room -- The rooms themselves are great. They have flat screen TV, refrigerator, coffee maker... More

We were celebrating our 15-year wedding anniversary and would definitely return to this resort or possibly try another Iberostar resort.
