If I'm not mistaken, Iberostar is a Spanish-owned hotel chain, with locations on several continents.
And, as noted previously, the Iberostar Costa Dorada (in Puerto Plata) is absolutely worth every penny/pesos that you'll spend!! The food is fabulous and plentiful, with huge varieties of food at all times of the day!! The bars are also plentiful and stocked with numerous premium liquors (and also available at all times of the day). The rooms are extremely comfortable (for Dominican standards), the staff is exceptionally service-oriented, friendly and outgoing, and the evening entertainment/shows are absolutely hilarious (although usually at the guests expense )!
As I'm sure that the Iberostar chain is highly consistent throughtout the DR, I would give my highest ranking and recommendation!!
