I had a generally pleasant stay at the Iberostar Hotel Dominicana, featuring a lovely beach and clean surroundings. The pool area was nice, but the dining options left much to be desired with often cold food. There were some hiccups with service, though the staff was mostly friendly, which made the experience better. Overall, it's a decent choice but not without its flaws.

The resort offers beautifully maintained grounds, and the service is attentive, especially from staff like Juan. However, the dining choices are limited and repetitive, and some aspects of the experience are marred by poorly organized reservations and a lack of towels. Despite some positives, I wouldn't choose to return due to several inconveniences.
