My wife and I stayed April 6-12, 2012 and had a relaxing, worry-free week at the Iberostar Costa Dorada!!!

“Very nice resort, but ocean water not clean”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed April 16, 2012

My husband and I just got home from a 7-day stay. We had a lovely time, although my husband ended up with an ear infection towards the end of the trip. Despite the resort's best efforts, we found the ocean water to be dirty, there was garbage on shore and in the water. Other reviews don't seem to mention this,... More

I would definitely consider returning to this great hotel in the future. Pros: The resort was clean, the service was fantastic, the animation staff was one of the best we have experienced and the food was way better than what I was expecting.

“Very good hotel for the price, certain things should be improved”

I liked this hotel, I thought it was very cheap for what you get (90usd per person all inclusive). The room was fine. It was very clean, there was plenty of hot water, and the bed was comfortable enough. It had a little balcony that we liked very much, facing the beach. The food was ok, though it became very...
