Stayed at the ICD from 21st April to 4th May 2008. No problems at the airport at PP on arrival or departure - no sign of any scams as previously mentioned on the forum. Guess we were lucky. The hotel is gorgeous with beautiful gardens and a lovely pool. We had 'check in' on the bus from the airport and... more

This really is a wonderful hotel. The staff are so friendly, especially the entertainment team, they all make you feel so welcome. Join in with the day time activities as they are great fun and a good way to meet new people. There is a good variety of food in the main restaurant. We did try the Mexican and Brazilian,... more

We came to this resort nearly a year ago now on our honeymoon. The reason why i am writing this review late is because we cannot understand all of the negative comments of late. Starting with the beach we walked the length of the beach in both directions, we nearly walked to Puerto Plata, yes there is rubbish on the... more

My family and I stayed here from 13th until 27th April. There was a group of 14 of us, 8 adults and 6 children (ranging from age 1 to 7). We all had a fantastic stay here and would return in a heart beat. The purpose of our trip was for my partner and I to get married. I have... more

I am unfortunately a little late in writing this review as it's been nearly a year since my boyfriend and I went on holiday here. However, I decided I needed to share with you all what an amazing holiday it was! 2 weeks of absolute bliss! The grounds are beautiful; with flamingos and terrapins in the little rock pools. Our... more

My husband and I got married at this hotel and it was the most amazing place we have ever stayed. I've just been reading some of the bad reviews and was surprised at some of the stupid comments regarding the beach. Puerto Plata is not on the side of the Dominican governed by the Caribbean sea, therefore you will not... more

Last year our family went to the Iberostar Paraiso Lindo in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. We had a great time. So when we (My wife and I and our Daughter) were planning a vacation this year to go to somewhere in the carribean, we chose the Iberostar Costa Dorada (ICD), based upon our previous Iberostar experience, the price, and the... more

We spent 9 days at the Iberostar Costa Dorada starting April 17th, 2008. I won’t rewrite everyone’s review but, just a couple points. Wonderful staff. Mixed drinks are poor. Beer is always good (I’m from Wisconsin, sorry) I liked the food, my wife didn’t. Loved the beach. Great value! We both had a great time. We stayed at Sunscape the... more
