Overview
The Spanish-based Iberostar chain’s Costa Dorada outpost truly means it when it says it’s an all-inclusive resort. Non-motorized water sports like kayaking or snorkeling are de rigueur for the other area mega-resorts, but the Iberostar also includes scuba diving, archery and riflery among its offerings.
During peak season, the resort is chock-full of families, who make good use of the playground, separate kids and teen clubs and nightly entertainment acts.
Guests can choose to splash all day in the tropically landscaped freeform pool, or build the world’s largest sandcastle from the golden sands of Costa Dorada. The pillars, columns and wrought-iron railings mixed with thatched roofs and palm fronds give the property a Spanish-Colonial meets tropical vibe.
Past guests on TripAdvisor say that in spite of a 2011 renovation, the rooms and pool are a bit tired and could use updating. But others say that’s a small trade-off for the amenities.
Unlike most American-owned hotels, the restaurant choices pander to more sophisticated palettes and include Mexican, Japanese and a Brazilian-style steakhouse. Depending on your kids, this could be a plus or a minus.
