We (my husband, myself, 6year and 3year old sons) arrived on the 3rd June for 2 weeks. On arrival at about 4.30pm the check in was smooth, we were helped to our room with the baggage. Our first impressions were that the resort looked a little run down, needed a face lift, coupled with the Sun not shining we were... More

Came here for my honeymoon in September 2012, but its taken some time for me to review this fantastic hotel. This was our first trip to the Carribean and we didn't really know what to expect, so everything was fresh and new. Firstly the flights were good, and managed to watch 3 films on the way out which were pretty... More

This was mine and my friend's first time in Dominican Republic (June 5-12) and we both agree that our experience was really fun and a great way to celebrate the end of our school year! We flew with Air Canada and the resort was 30 minutes away including drop offs for the first two resorts. We noticed there were two... More

It’s the second time in 2 years we are spending a week in this hotel and we are as pleased as we were last year. The service is excellent, starting with Yinny at the front desk which received us with a smile and was nice and helpful all along our vacation. We had a similar service at the restaurant, bar,...

Our stay at Iberostar Costa Dorada was from 20/05 to 03/06. We flew with First Choice and upgraded to their Premium Service – this was a great decision and I wouldn’t hesitate to use this service again. The transfer was smooth and efficient, as we were in Premium we exited the Plane first and the queue for arrival tax was... More

I visited this resort on March 5th - 19th. 2013 We arrived late 12:00am; our Sunwing flight was delayed. Upon arriving we were greeted by Arezzo (not sure of the spelling) the front desk clerk who informed us that the manager wishes to welcome us to the resort.

This was our first family trip (won't be the last) and everyone enjoyed the experience at ICR. We flew in on Westjet vacations and after a small mix-up (that was quickly corrected by the Westjet reps - very well done IMO), we were comfortably settled in our rooms by the beach - great views!

The resort is very small compared to other Iberostars I have been to. But everything is good & clean here and service is great. However the beach is too windy and no one uses it. Everyone is in the pool because of this. Specially if you have children this beach is not for you as sands get into their eyes.... More
