The Dorado, is not the Taj Mahal! So why then, do we Snow Birds from Minnesota continue to migrate there? The review title, says it all! From the time you first walk up to the front desk to check –in to the time you check-out, you’ll be treated like a long lost friend. And on your next return (which you... more

Where does one begin? I had gone to the zip line and came back muddy. In the middle of my shower at the hotel, the water is gone, stopped, not even the sink. When I called to complain I was told the pressure doesn't work on the high floors. At breakfast in the line for ordering food I was completely... more

I was booked for a week with my family and spent the entire first day in my room - pool was murkey (urine?), too many people and I was told not to swim in the ocean as it was dangerous and unsafe. (we are a family of competitive swimmers). Air conditioning was broken in my sons' room, even after the... more

WHAT A DUMP!! We left after one night. My guess is that any positive reviews of this hotel were written by people on the hotel staff. Let me count the ways... Large family vacation. A/C did not work in some of our rooms. Water in shower would simply stop. Staff told us that was because we were on the 16th... more

This was our fifth visit to Dorado Pacifico. The junior suites are large and clean. Maid service is excellent. The front counter staff will go out of their way to see that your visit is perfect. Two for one happy hour in the lobby bar with the nicest waitress to be found anywhere. The hotel has a nice large pool... more

My girlfriend and myself stayed from 24-29 Apr. The pool and beach access was the best part. If you dont tolerate the sun well, then the dorado has cabanas on the beach with umbrellas for free plus the staff serves you drinks at them. The pool has a swim up bar with music! Internet access was a must for me;... more

Dorado is a wonderful place, pool is a little small for my 13 year old, beach is awesome. Waves maybe too big for most people. They had to help two people out during our stay. The odd things I observed were the mad rush at 5:00 A.M. to get a cabana or pool side seat. If you were not there... more

We stayed at the Dorado March 16-23. Considering that is was Easter week and Spring Break for many, I thought the service was outstanding. The Front Desk staff was patient and helpful. Our room wasn't ready at 2pm so we were given free beverage coupons and allowed to use a hospitality room to change. Once we had a burned out... more

We were very happy with the Dorado. The staff were excellent as was the customer service. We requested an ocean view room up a bit higher and our request was met. The hotel is situated right in the centre of the hotel zone and right across the street from the many shops and restaraunts and only 10 minutes by taxi... more
