The only thing I could add to this perfect stay was the possibility for more dinning options in the few restaurants that were opened. Met some great people. That was my second time, definitely will be returning for a 3rd...

The beach is amazing, the Italian restaurant was great at the buffet the food was great and we find Roberto to be the most a tentative person in the buffet area he will go to get your latte next door and more 👍 The room need work we had two rooms and not satisfied with them, the property is beautiful but needs better management.

We stayed at this property for 1 night. When we checked in we were told that the property had three a la carta restaurants and that we needed reservations for dinner. I attempted to make reservations and I was told reservations were not available and only one of the three restaurants was open. I checked in at 12 pm they charge me a fee for checking in early but didn’t bother to make sure i had dinner reservations. After going into our room we had no running water for about 30 min. After requesting a late check out i was also charge another even after going through the previous problems. Bad service wouldn’t recommend to any customer.

Wouldn’t go here ever or suggest it to anyone . This resort is one big money grab and careless about its guess. Check in is at 3 pm. I arrived at 4:30 pm and the line was a mile long . It took me 45 minutes to get checked in . After I am given a brief tour and I’m pointed to where I can go to make reservations for the restaurants I go and it’s open from 9 am to 1 pm which makes no sense since check in is at 3 pm. So I missed out on a night of restaurant since it closes at 1 pm. I go to my room in pack and head to the pool. They only had one bartender so it took long to get my drinks. I get I the pool and at 6:50 pm we are told pools are closing . Next day I wake up go to the buffet go to trade my card for a towel and I am told it is closed . You can get towels from 9 am to 12 pm. After that it reopens at 3 pm . Things just made no sense here at all . The beer club was cool though

It was okay at best. Food was not very good. From the display to the style to the taste and freshness, none of it was good. It was on the clean side. Could use a few updates and beach could have been cleaner.

No regreso mas a ese hotel
Mi experiencia fue terrible, al llegar y al salir la cerradura de la puerta de la habitacion no habria y tuve que esperar mucho tiempo porque 5 personas no podian abrirla y al salir ocurrio lo mismo. Con un calor insoportable esperando en el pasillo del hotel. Eso es inconcebible en el hotel mas caro de Playa Dorada. Ademas la comida fue muy mediocre
