“Worst of All”

Costa Dorada Beach Resort

16 Mar 2006
4/4 found this review helpful

The picture looked good so I reserved for 3 nights.Well first they put paper wristbands on us to wear while there,then it turns out you have to cross a public road to get over to the beach.That's not too bad but there was a gate that's kept locked to get to the beach and no one knew where the key was !The grounds are filled with nice palm trees that are filled with coconuts that drop.A helmet would be nice.In the room the flapper lock on door was hanging by 1 screw,the phone didn't work,the clock did't work ,to lock the sliding patio door they had drilled a hole at the top of it and slid a nail in to lock it.It goes on &on.After one sleepless night we checked out.

8/9 found this review helpful

My husband and I (along with our 16yr old daughter) had the misfortune of staying at this so called "Resort" what a waste of our time and money!!! we only checked in this place, because my daughter was taking surfing lessons and the other places were booked, upon checking in they put a bright colored florescent band on your wrist (they say so that they know who their guests are) and you are told not to remove it until you check-out, so if you are going to be more than one night and are visiting other areas, everyone knows that you are a visitor to the area (kind of scary, when you think about it, u walking around and some person can read your band and find out where you are staying, resort has no seen security) Bartender was not very bright, I asked for a "Mojito" he didn't know what it was, not even a "Cuba Libre" which is bacardi and coke. No breakfast, Restaurant was over priced staff did not look to friendly (it was empty every night we were staying. You Have to go to Happy Belly's restaurant, great staff and views of the surfers, foods isn't tooooo bad either!!! Also on Rt 2, Mr. Mofongo's is delicious and reasonable priced, I got the Mofongo stuffed Lobster for under $16.00 and had BIG chunks of lobster( and lots of em). No Room Service, you have to pay machine for ice (25cents, you got maybe a small glass full , if you were lucky) The beach is across a road and does not have easy access, it's a slope with no easy footing, unless your spry and sure footed, otherwise you have to literally jump 3 feet to reach it. I could go on about this so called resort, but if you do find yourself in Isabela, I reccomend you stay either in Aguadilla(cielo de Mar is nice) or in Guajataca and make the drive to Isabela(it's about 15 to 30 minutes depending where you stay). Also, if you are looking for surf lessons, Werner Vega is the go to guy, he is a GREAT surf instructor, he has been giving my child lessons for about the last 4or 5 yrs (every time we go to Puerto Rico). If anyone out there knows of any other places in Isabela other than the ones in the "Que Pasa" magazine, to stay at, please let me know. To date I have stayed at the "Sonia Rican house--terrible, my whole family got sick from the pool. Villa Montana seems to never have availabilty, no matter when we go, also they advertise one set of rates & quote & charge different rates. TSK. TSk.

“I'd rather stay in a motel 6!!!”

25/26 found this review helpful

This past weekend was the worst in history, my husband and I have not seen such a dirty so called "Resort". This is the first thing that comes to my mind, a resort?? Who named this place a resort? Areas are dirty, all the rails by the stairs are so full of rust that I'm surprised they have not falled off. In the bar by the pool the very rude waitress charged my husband who is american $4 for a small perrier water. When he told me (I'm puertorican) I went back and she got very nervous so gave me $1 back, charging him more because she thought he was a gringo tourist. My husband only stayed 10 minutes inside the pool because it was so filthy you could not even see the bottom, an old and rusty jacuzzi by the pool full of bugs, the kids pool dirty and full of bugs also. Now if you're shocked wait until you hear this! The rooms are nothing like they have in their advertisement. An old, cheap and dirty mattress that would not stay in place, sheets had old stains God knows from what, a/c was blowing in my face but that's how the room is arranged. Coffemaker yes with 2 cups and one of them very dirty yeak! oh but no coffee....yes you have to buy the coffee in a vending machine for the price of $2.....the shower made me gag because it was so dirty and ants all over the walls, curly black hair by the toilet!! we both have ash blonde hair. No guides in the room to where was the restaurant located, if they had room service, ammenities located or nothing. My husband and I had to look for everything by ourselves and then they have so many rules like no food or drinks in the rooms, no visitors, etc...When they told us that in the reception we felt we were going into a prison. All this for the price of $169.00 dollars per night. With this kind of money we could have stayed at a 5 star hotel. We will never stay there again and I am going to make sure these people get visited by the Health department. My husband says any motel would have been better. Don't fall for the pictures they have in their web site, that's the mistake I made.

“Quiet and comfortable”

Costa Dorada Beach Resort

27 Apr 2004
2/3 found this review helpful

It was the perfect quiet retreat for my family of five. We always travel with my children and my mother so the villa worked out well. Everyone had there own space. Since it was still the off season it was relatively quiet. The down side of this is that not all of the amenities were available during our entire stay. (The villa cabana was closed during the week as was the gift shop). We deemed this a small price to pay for the home style comfort and convenience we did have. We will definately be going back. Oh and just a side note they will be opening a small casino within the next few months on the property.

“poor excuse for a resort”

Costa Dorada Beach Resort

Save Review
1 of 5 stars
Indian Harbour, Florida
17 Feb 2004
8/11 found this review helpful

My husband and our 16 month old daughter spent one night at this poor excuse for a resort. We paid $130 for a room that looked like a cheap hotel room (a la Motel 6). There was no remote for the TV, the blankets and pillows had black hairs on them and the AC blasted the person sleeping on the bed next to it- with no way to turn the vents.

Most of the staff were rude to us, because we were Americans. Although the grounds were beautiful, the restaurant was totally over-priced for mediocre food. We were forced to pay $9 for a breakfast buffet and were not given directions about food tickets or bracelets to wear at the resort pool.

we felt we were treated badly because we were Americans and will never stay at this so called "resort" again. There were many Puerto Ricans spending their holiday weekend at the Resort the same night we were, and they were given instant attention and extra care. We were not even given a high chair for our daughter after making a request. When 2 other Puerto Rican couples came to dinner with small children...they were brought high chairs immediately.

This place was dirty and totally over priced.
