Iberostar Costa Dorada April 2023

A quick look around the resort, travelled in April 2023 & had a fantastic time!
Beach was better than expected, weather was good, food was decent.
Hard to complain!

Had a blast over there last week. Wish I could have stayed longer. I didn't care much for the rooms but loved the excursions at Puerto Plata and the beach and pool. The staff were so friendly and welcoming

Glad to hear it, I would have been back spring 2024 but the flights from NS Canada were junk. Cheers!! 🍻🍻🍻

I was there in April 2023 as well. It was a great resort and nice beach. One key reason we chose Puerto Plata was we wanted a north shore not in the current of the sargassum we experienced while on another trip to Punta Cana, which is on the eastern side. A concierge told us this is the oldest resort in Puerto Plata. It does show it's age, but with grace. The resort was great, the staff fantastic, and the Good Friday seafood feast and all the food every day for that matter was great as well. Would love to go back. Thanks for bringing back the nice memories.

Was there in February. Decent place, nightly entertainment was not good.

[@DavePulsifer]

It's not a deal breaker for us, we're up early & get sun & sand & libations all day & by 9:00 our old asses are ready to call it a day & do it all again tomorrow!! Cheers..🍻🍻🍻🍻

Great video! How was the beach in comparison to punta cana or Cuba beaches ?

[@DavePulsifer]

Thanks! Honestly it's 3rd out of 3, but it's cheaper than PC and the food is wayyy better than Cuba, but we still spent about 6 hours a day in the water, so all & all a good trade off. Waiting for Cuba to get better as their beaches are #1, but sadly, I think we'll be waiting for a long time. Cheers 🍻

Is there any sea life visible near the shore? Any reefs? Thanks

[@DavePulsifer]

Others might have had success, but we didn't bring any gear & never tried. We're spoiled buy some other resorts/locations so unless the water is really clear we save snorkeling for another trip. Thanks for watching!! 🍻🍻

Going to this resort in a couple of weeks.😃

[@DavePulsifer]

Enjoy!! 🍻

It looks old and outdated... in need of a refresh.

[@DavePulsifer]

It does in spots for sure, it's all about your expectations. Some people are put off by old fixtures and furniture, but if you can get past that it's a solid 3.5 star, at least our room and our particular week. And it was cheap compared to other areas, and the flight times out of Halifax NS were great. Many things to consider when planning a trip, everyone's needs are slightly different. Cheers, 🍻
