My wife and I were at the Dorado from Jan. 29 - Feb. 12/09 I do not know how this resort got a 4 star rating. It should be no more then a 2 or 3 star. AIRLINE: We traveled from Vancouver B.C. Canada by Air Transat . The flight was 6 1/2 hours of being squashed in a seat... more

Me and my fiance traveled to Playa Dorada Feb 4-12 2009 via Air Transat. The week we spent here was very painful. The weather was terrible!!

Also please NOTE::: Occidental allegro playa dorada and allegro playa dorada are the same place,... more

My girl and I stayed from Jan.21-28. For $1700CDN for the both of us, this place was superb value for the money we spent. In comparison, we paid $300 more to stay at a much worse complex in Puerto Vallarta 3 years ago. The nightly entertainment was pretty much the same every night but was always good for a laugh.... more

We did have a great vacation even though the resort seemed to be lacking in some areas. Though the food was predictable, it was edible and no one should go hungry. There is always a selection of fresh fruit for those who are worried about trying Dominican meats :) (don't forget there is no FDA there ) Rooms were basic... more
