Very nice resort for a day pass!

We were coming in on a cruise ship and purchased Day Passes. The resort was perfect for our large group of 26. The food was plentiful and very good. The drinks were quick and delicious. We really enjoyed the pools and swim up bar. There were lots of free chairs around the pool but chairs on the beach were harder to come by. We were able to buy day passes directly through the hotel and save some fees that other sites add.
So-so

Staff is very friendly but facilities are aged and not much for children to do. Except for the pool and beach .ping pong and mini chess that's it for adult stuff No shuffle board. mini golf, hoops, nothing. Lots of chairs however and music and afternoon games at the pool
Great resort, amazing food, but noisy at night and shady wifi in some areas

Full review of Iberostar Costa Dorada. Family trip with wife and three teens during Quebec March Break. Although I completed online check-in, they did not see it in their system so had to redo check-in at counter. Had communicating rooms: first room with one king size bed for my wife and I, and second room with two double beds. Asked for an extra bed (single) and they installed it same day. Several small annoyances in room upon arrival were fixed same day: leaking fridge and broken phone. The Iberostar app allows you to chat with Guest Services. The beach is nice – stretches for kilometres and kilometres. Several huts for shade, but they get reserved in the morning. Arrive before 9am if you want a spot. The hotel is clean, well maintained, and have beautiful grounds. Buffet menu is huge – everyone can find something they like. Three a la carte restaurants were also very good. Filter coffee is not so good (tastes burnt) and they have difficulty doing a good cappuccino (their espresso is good though). I do not like the fact that we have to line-up for à la carte restaurant reservations. Learned at the end of our trip that we can reserve thru the app, which is much better. They have a nice gym on site but closes too early (6pm). GOs are very nice, lots of varied activities. Wi-Fi is available throughout the site, but not so good in some places (especially the rooms). The biggest annoyance is the noise; most rooms face the pool and the patio doors do not cut the sound that much, from pool area but also from the theater nighttime shows. Hard to go to sleep before 11pm.
Excellent staff

The staff here are awesome. So many fun staff like Rambo, batman and so many more. The environment is amazing and there’s always games and things to do! The rooms are nice and the maids do a great job cleaning the rooms. The buffet is amazing and a special shoutout to Robert and Frank for putting smiles on our faces and making sure we have a good meal!
Had a great time with everything

Had some trouble getting a room with king size bed as outlined in our trip itinerary. They wanted to give us a room with 2 double beds but we insisted and got what we ordered. They were accommodating with us and gave us free bottle of champagne for our troubles. If you get a chance when checking in, ask for Maria as your concierge. She is one of the best host and helped us thru any issues we had and recommendations. And she is a hard worker spending lots of time at the resort. We were able to get into all the restaurants while there and even got into one place twice. Just have to be at the front area to sign up at 9 am two days before you want to go. Pool is large but need to get chair reserved early in the morning. But the beach has plenty of chairs and palm umbrella shade. Never had a problem finding a place to sit - even as late as 9:30 am. The resort can get a little busy if there is a cruise ship or two that comes to Amber Cove since this resort is on the daytime trip for the passengers. But nothing to be worried about. The entertainment group is lots of fun and great dancers. They love what they do and love to get people involved. The nightly entertainment is pretty good with a variety of shows in a week. Overall we had a great time and would go back.
