Playa Dorada Stay at Emotions.

Very Nice place for the price. Food was very good in all of the different venues. The Buffet had plentiful selections and special stations for grilled foods. The specialty restaurants, Italian, Mexican, Dominican were excellent with good selections and very good service. Definitely would stay here again.
