We visited Playa Dorada in September 2017. It was a long walk from our hotel but it was wort it. It is quite busy beach but it’s big with lovely sand and plenty of nearby attractions like bars, restaurants, sun loungers, parasols, water sports and more. The water gets deep quite quickly so I’m not sure if it’s the best place for kids but my husband and I had a lot of fun. Water is very clear and you can see fish swimming around you. Playa Dorada is definitely worth visiting if you are near by.
