Do not book this property. It has been closed for a year. Despite the fact that it remains on this site, it is not open. CheapTickets has been informed but property still appears on their site. They were horrible with finding us another hotel. Put us in a hotel 20 miles away and were unwilling to comp us for the inconvenience. I’ll Never use Cheaptickets again.

Not What Advertised at All!
The property was not at all what advertised; no access to the beach, the pool was closed due to pump problems and there is no wi-fi. We cancelled or stay and received a full refund. Absolute fiasco.

Horrible
Torn mattress, panels in shower lifting, cockroach, rusted refrigerator, no water pressure on shower head. I've had bad experiences before, none like this. Would not recommend this hotel.

I'd've rather stayed in a cheap motel
This is just a rundown hotel, nothing about it makes it a resort. It appears they stopped being a resort several years ago. There are signs all over saying they don't allow outside food or beverage, yet they have no restaurant. They have signs that say hamburgers are served Saturday poolside, but that didn't happen. They have no phones in the rooms, so there's definitely no room service either. They have 10 or 15 channels on the TV sets, which was nice because we don't have cable at home. Their air conditioner (window units in each room) was very cold, so that's also a plus. No wifi in the rooms, nor did the common area wifi work. There is practically no cellular service on the premises either, so this meant we had to leave the complex entirely to communicate with the outside world. The paint was falling off the walls and ceilings, especially in the exterior hallways (there are no interior hallways), which were wet and slippery due to recent rain. Our balcony was also without drainage. The hand rails we used to go up and down the stairs were rusted and separated from their bases, some floating in mid air. There were no elevators. They were not worth the pretty penny we paid to stay there.

Not a good experience
The hotel staff are horrible ! They treat you as though you are asking for charity and not like you're a paying customer. The room was clean but there were no towels! If you plan to park your car there, know that parking is very limited. Overall, not a good experience.

Just okay.
Hard to locate-GPS took us to 3 different locations- had to ask a local. Upon arrival we were told there was no water in our building but it was expected to be on shortly. Went without water for the entire first day/night - no toilet/sink/shower. The next morning we asked when there would be water and they moved us into a different building (why that couldn't have happened first, I'm unsure..). The second room was better, but still just okay. The best thing was the easy beach access where we met great locals.

No employees
Worst experience in a hotel. First, no employees at the front desk. Security guard had to assist us. Waited 1 hr and 30 min for someone to come help him. They send security boss, not a hotel employee. Anothrt hr to help. We got there at midnight, didnt get a room till 230 am. In the morning front desk person was nasty and rude. Premises filthy!!!! No water pressure. Horrible!!!!!

DO NOT STAY IN THIS HOTEL YOU WILL REGRET IT
The bed sheets were stained, air conditioner did not work. Informed front desk twice and nothing was done. Housekeeping came to the room and made the bed with the same stained sheets, a/c was never fixed. The parking area is very dark no lighting dangerous no security. Pool area no lights either if swimming at night. I do not recommend at all. When you shower water goes all over the floor because the division of shower and bathroom floor is almost the same. The closets smelled awful you could not put your clothes in it or it would smell also. Truly a horrible experience.

HORRIBLE, DONT GO THERE, NEVER
It was just awful, the hotel is horrible: very old and abandoned, no water during one day, no electricity the following day, in the first room the door was locked and we were locked into the apartment, the AC is very noisy so it is not possible to sleep... the kitchen is very poorly equiped... and it is very expensive... the pool is dirty... never go there...

The location is great!! Real close to good surf breaks and cycling path and fun nightlife. Really good places to eat close by. The hotel divides in 2, the side with the reception desk being the old part which I stayed in and really needs an update and remodeling. It all comes down to expectations although the side of the studios and villas is really nice, much better than the hotel itself. Overall I enjoyed my stay, like I said before, it comes down to expectations.

When we arrived, the individual at Front Desk was not even courteous enough to say Good Evening. He walked us to our room and didn't even help with the luggage. Always walked in front of us, not saying a word. On the other hand, at the moment of Check Out the ladies at front desk were VERY VERY courteous, all smiles, and the place even looked cleaner, they had just mopped the floor in the morning. Alongside that, the TV in the room was from like the 90's with only two channels. It says online that there is Wi-Fi yet we were never told where we could access it because there was none in our room. The place could use some remodeling.

Beautiful setting, long walk to beach
Beautiful setting and surrounding ... Nice pool.. Room were old and not so good.. No microwave, fridge.. Very basic room. Though you can see ocean behind in order to get to the beach, it is a good 10 mins walk. Even to get to town center it is 20 mins walk. I would recommend this hotel if you have a car. The location of hotel is not correct on google or email and took us good 1/2 hr to figure out the location. The hotel is down the hill next to beach court apartments (on the main road) ... (look on google maps next to ocean front).

Checking was fast and easy, and the personal siper friendly. The rooms were clean, but I would recomened that the bedding be updated along with the pillows. The pool area is nice, but surrounding area needs to be cleaned. The restaurant was fast but the food okay. No cellphone reception nor internet. The hotel is really good if yiu neef to disconnect.

Not nice hotel
My wife and I checked in late. The female employee provided a key to enter room, no electronic key card. When we entered room the bathroom had crazy ants all over the sink top, the rug showed signs of mildew, the mattress was very old, I would say over 20 years, when uncovered the blanket the mattress was black from mildew. It was the most uncomfortable bed and pillows you could ever sleep on. We left room to meet up with family and I did not feel comfortable leaving my backpack with valuables in the room. I asked my wife if she had any valuables in her bag, but said no. Long story short, she forgot she had her tablet in her bag, but did not notice it missing until we had checked out the next day and already driven about 3 hours away to my families home. This meant an employee from the hotel went into our room and stole the tablet out of my wife's bag. She had to cancel service to tablet and all passwords saved on it. She noticed someone tried to use her ebay account the very next day. We spent only one night and it was a horrible experience. I would not recommend to anyone to stay at this location.
Response from Costa Dorada on 24 Jan 2016
We are very sorry that you have lost your tablet. Upon your arrival the room was delivered according to your reservation. The complain of the few ants in the bathroom was taken care of and we even offered the option of a room exchange. It is well to emphasize that our staff is humble but very honest. We can ensure that it was not in our hotel that you lost your electronic device.

Great facility on north shore.
Found staff to be very friendly and helpful making recommendations about local food and beaches. Room was very clean and more than adequate, but not very updated. Room well supplied with basics such as towels, A/C, and TV. Had nice patio to dry towels, wetsuits, and swimsuits on.
Across street, but currents
Protected snorkeling
Only $5 for parking

The front desk was very nice but as soon as we got to our room it was not great, there was food on the bed sheets when I took off the the bed spread. The room needed a good dusting and the mattresses were stained on the side. Just grossed out by the hotel, stayed first night then left the room. No money back, I can understand why!
