Iberostar Costa Dorada Review

This resort will dazzle you with its sprawling lobby, its hardwood benches and sculptures, and its curvaceous pool with a central Jacuzzi encircled by Roman pillars. As you swim along, you can see the mountains and the beach. Other all-inclusives could learn from Iberostar's excellent buffet; of the à la carte restaurants, the Brazilian is the standout and the Mexican is highly authentic. The rooms are somewhat dated but attractive, with woven wall hangings and bright colors. Many of the staffers speak English here, and the resort itself is close to Puerto Plata, so you can have more contact with real Dominican life. At night you can watch the entertainment (the music is especially good) from the outdoor seating in the garden.
