Iberostar Costa Dorada in Dominican Republic

On the beautifully diverse Caribbean island of the Dominican Republic, lies the resort of Costa Dorada. Only 30 minutes from Puerto Plata Airport, you can quickly escape to the paradise of the Iberostar Costa Dorada Dominican Republic.

This exquisite five-star hotel sits on a peaceful white beach lapped by warm Caribbean waters and is surrounded by lush hills, giving your picture postcard hotel a wonderfully private feel. It’s the perfect place to leave all your stresses behind and simply relax, especially with all-inclusive facilities and meals. It’s perfect for family holidays, with endless snacks and ice creams for your little ones and unlimited alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks for you!

After a delicious buffet breakfast, take your complimentary one hour daily snorkelling lesson to see the colourful corals of this diver’s haven or if you’re feeling adventurous, an introductory scuba diving lesson is included in your stay with the Iberostar Costa Dorada Dominican Republic PADI-qualified instructors.

As the day hots up to the usual 25°, enjoy a refreshing lunch and laze by the large freeform pool. There are four whirlpools for you to bubble away in, along with basketball, volleyball and table tennis, with a great kids’ club courtesy of Iberostar Costa Dorada. As the sun sets, enjoy a delicious meal in the themed restaurants and sit back as your fun-filled evening entertainment starts.

Puerto Plata is also known as the Silver Port and has some of the finest beaches in the Dominican Republic. The Old City was once the neighbourhood to be seen in and is still a vibrant town today. It is certainly worth a visit for its great nightlife and 16th century colonial architecture, although the surrounding New Town is very industrial.

Only 30km away is the world famous windsurfing paradise of Cabarete. Its relaxed, hip atmosphere, gorgeous golden beach backed by a cooling lagoon and verdant hills, make this tropical paradise hard to leave. The lie of land, makes this cove the perfect place to learn to kiteboard, windsurf and relax as only the Caribbean people can!

With so much tropical beauty everywhere you turn in the Dominican Republic, the only way to really take it all in is to go up high! Visit Mount Isabel de Torres Xkm from Puerto Plata and take the cable car 760m up to the wonderful botanical gardens and take in spectacular views of the Atlantic Coast and the surrounding beaches and palms.

The Dominican Republic is a Caribbean island overflowing with character! 1 hours’ drive from Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic’s second largest city, Santiago. Take time away from your golden beach to visit Santiago’s beautiful cathedral and enjoy a picnic in the quiet Parque Duarte. Whilst you’re there, make sure you visit a bar to sample the local rum and see the merengue danced at its very best (and maybe even join in)! To get amazing views across Santiago’s beautiful white buildings, climb the steps of the 67m high Monument a los Heroes de la Restauracion (Monument to the Heroes of the Restoration).

The Iberostar Costa Dorada Dominican Republic is a luxurious base to hide away in the resort’s shady palms or for exploring all the beauty and tranquillity this island offers.

Which hotel is better in puerto plata the riu bachata or the iberostar costa dorado?

Going to Puerto Plata instead of Punta Cana this year. Punta Cana has gained a lot of popularity so the airfare is about $100 - $150 more than Puerto Plata - traveling with my 11 year old as a single parent. I've heard great things about both hotels

Well, I think that Iberostar is a bit better than the Riu Bachata, and is not that isolated from town ( 10 min with public bus).
Happy to help you
