An elegant resort with Colonial-style architecture, the Iberostar Costa Dorada gets good reviews. Offering comprehensive family friendly activities, this resort enjoys a great location on a lovely stretch of beach with calm waters perfect for swimming.

“A top pick for a budget-friendly getaway in Puerto Plata, this resort gets consistently great reviews from clients, many of whom are repeat guests. It’s perfectly located close to the Dorada complex and has a nice beach, great staff and reliably good food.
