Dreams Vallarta Bay Resort and Spa: Vacation at Dreams

Firstly; we weren’t to pleased to be harassed as soon as we arrived for a sales pitch to buy vacation plans. We go away to get away from all that. When we arrive, we just want to go to our rooms and change for the beach. The rooms were fine but showing signs of age. The hotel almost completely shut down the pool areas for a dinner later that day. Insane! Again, we want to relax by pool. There was nowhere to go. Half the time our rooms weren’t cleaned as the maids didn’t get to us till 6is [... read more]h? 😳 we are in our room at that hour cleaning up for dinner. We paid all inclusive, but wine wasn’t included at some of the restaurants 😳Other than that; we enjoyed ourselves and found the staff to be good and the food good. Location is good (within walking distance of downtown).

Dreams Onyx Resort and Spa: An excellent resort

Great food except ironically the Japanese restaurant which was the only one that required advance booking. Buffet lovely and high quality. Great waves for the kids. Sand underfoot in the ocean. Rooms beautiful. Pillows too fat for comfort. Spa ‘hydrotherapy’ a bit of a joke. Overall would book again in a minute.

Dreams Playa Bonita Panama: Dreams Playa Bonita

The grounds were lovely the rooms were spacious. Cleaning staff was not consistent with giving out fresh towels and toiletries. This resort is very far from the airport especially during rush hour. The traffic during rush hr is like Toronto traffic. The restaurants were great but breakfast could have had more variety. Love the fact that you Don't need reservations for restaurants. The beach is rocky so water shoes are recommended. Pools were great. If you don't mind 2 or more hours to and from [... read more] the airport this is for you. Close to Panama City and Canel

Dreams Riviera Cancun: Good vacation

Spa and coco cafe were our highlights. The grounds were so beautiful and well kept. Would give them a perfect score but they didn’t want to clean our room or give us turn down service. Would still recommend it, we just got unlucky with the housekeeping assigned to us

Dreams Huatulco: Beautiful resort and weather!

The pools over looking the ocean were so functional and beautiful! The chairs were comfortable but a little weathered as were the Umbrellas… that being said, the staff were there to help immediately and the combination of sun and shade and a bar that was close by made for a perfect place to rest and socialize. We enjoyed snorkelling and seeing the beautiful fish (until the jellyfish came to visit) … the restaurants were delicious and we enjoyed paint night and the bands as well as pool aero [... read more]bics and stretching/yoga classes. Fun fun! Staff were very nice and accommodating… will plan to go back.

Dreams Onyx Resort and Spa: Amazing vacation for the entire family!

This resort has something to offer for everyone. The food was extremely fresh and there were such a variety of options and restaurant choices. The beach was beautiful. The rooms were updated and spacious. The amenities and service were amazing. Worth every penny! Such a wonderful family holiday.

Dreams Playa Bonita Panama: Good resort

Nice grounds well keeped Rooms clean Food good but plain Drinks good Pools clean and well keeped Beach has strong tides and rocky Entertainment lacking People were amazing Need umbrellas not enough shade Airport drive took us 3 hours not happy

Dreams Onyx Resort and Spa: Great resort, reasonable price!

grounds, beach, pool, tennis court, basketball court all beautiful. From our last visit (when Now Onyx), the quality of service and food at restaurants improved. Buffet still lacks high quality food offering. I would exchange the vast variety of available food at the buffet with higher quality offerings.

Dreams Royal Beach Punta Cana: Amazing resort

The hotel was fantastic. A little short on chairs around the pool but the beach made up for that in a big way. I am not a beach person but this place is fantastic. The food was great and so was the service

Dreams Huatulco: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO EVERYONE COMING TO HUATULCO

Wow! Super excited to be able to travel once again after 2 years. This was our 3rd trip to Huatulco + our 3rd stay at Dreams. As always we had the best time. The weather was super hot as always + the resort amazing. We choose Dreams for the location right on the water, the rooms, the staff, the a la carte restaurants where you don't need a reservation + so much more. We talked at length to some of the management regarding their challenges the last 24 months (like we all have experienced).  [... read more]They had to lay off much of their staff, lost other experienced people + have just started getting busy again the last couple months. With that, the food wasn't as great as it had been pre-covid but we have such compassion + understanding that they too are trying to get back to "normal." For that reason, it will be our place to go again next year!!

Dreams Huatulco: Disappointed this trip

We were delighted to once again return to this resort. The staff are so attentive and helpful. Cleanliness and spotless is throughout the resort with staff wearing masks both inside and outside. Unfortunately the menus and calibre of food is definitely missing from our preCOVID visits with a couple of dinners being almost inedible. Portofino is still amazing. Buffets ok but Oceana and sister restaurant have poor dinner menu and food quality is dreadful. The Asian restaurant wasn’t much bett [... read more]er. Not sure if we would return although we enjoy the property very much

Dreams Onyx Resort and Spa: Amazing

This resort was extremely clean and the staff, service everywhere are very nice and helpful. They are genuinely there to service you, they like their job! Thank you to Alejandro at the pool bar, and beach boys simply amazing. Food is high quality and we had access to all restaurants at the breathless hotel, that is a big plus. It was my first time at a Dreams and i am now hooked! Booked again for august!!

Dreams Huatulco: Ok resort

The resort itself is beautiful. Rooms are decent. It is not worth it to upgrade to the preferred club as there is no benefit to it. There is no preferred space on the beach or pool. We had no private check in/out. We also were not informed of Covid test on site & that it was free for preferred club. We only received corona beer in our fridge a couple days after that it was a cheap beer. Food was meh. We were there for 2 weeks & I basically had hot dog & fries for lunch every day & ribs for suppe [... read more]r. There is nothing to do in the evenings. Resort shuts down at 11. There were no seats available around the pool or the beach by 7 in the morning. Staff were friendly.

Dreams Onyx Resort and Spa: Amazing resort

We just got back from the most beautiful resort we have ever been too. Amazing beach, we had a swim up room and the staff were amazing and so happy to be working again. Covid protocols were really good and my fears about going were eased right away. The food was amazing, drinks were awesome and I will definitely book here again! Only complaint I have is how rude some other tourists can be especially towards the staff , who i felt were going above and beyond to make sure our stay was beautiful

Wyndham Alltra Punta Cana: First Trip to Dominican

Where do I start… ok well the flight down was easy until we got to Punta Cana, that airport is crazy lol, please keep in mind this was my husband and I first trip to any resort, be prepared for long lines to get out of the airport but otherwise it was fairly smooth. We arrived at the resort and were instantly enthralled with the old style beauty. The staff were excellent and super friendly! Our room was nice and even though it was a bit dated ( especially the bathtub) it was clean and comforta [... read more]ble. The beach was fabulous I highly recommend that you do the preferred upgrade as the added perks make it worth the money. The drinks were great and the food was delicious! Highly recommend preferred club Oceana restaurant for breakfast and lunch! The lunches were amazing! The pool was awesome, you could walk from one end of the resort to the other and only get out once halfway and convenient located bar and bathroom :) The shows were great entertainment but it was the staff that make it enjoyable, so friendly! The most impressive thing we’re the gardens and surroundings, because the resort is a bit older then others it has the most incredible gardens and the palm trees are large enough to provide lots of shade. The trip home was long but the Covid stuff was not horrible. Overall I would rate this hotel an 8/10

Wyndham Alltra Punta Cana: Wonderful resort!

Dreams Punta Cana was absolutely beautiful from the moment we arrived in the front lobby! We could see the hills in the distance through the open air hotel entrance & got some great photos there. The staff were courteous and helpful. Our room was spacious with a good sized balcony and a lovely view of the pool. The clean, clear, warm pool runs the length of the resort with the rooms on either side. A great location for a swim anytime. The beach was the best part! Soft sand, lots of beach c [... read more]hairs, gentle rolling waves! Every restaurant had excellent food. Our favourites were Seaside Grill, Portafino (Italian) and Oceania (Seafood). The resort offers unlimited a la carte dining without reservations which was great because we could be very relaxed about timing and didn’t feel we had multiple appointments for dinner to keep. I didn’t realize how amazing that would be until we were there but it sure made a positive difference compared with other resorts we have been to. Overall I would rate Dreams Punta Cana as the best I’ve ever stayed at!

Dreams Onyx Resort and Spa: Best Resort Ever!

The whole resort was kept in excellent shape. The food was great! The people are amazing! Very clean, you get waited on hand and foot. Definitely a 5 star resort! Our butler, Angel went up over and beyond. He came and talked to us everyday and made sure everything was perfect. The beach was as beautiful as could be. Soft white sand blue water, picture perfect!

JW Marriott Costa Elena Resort and Spa: Overpriced and overpromoted

I expected to go to a medium-high level 5 stars resort and I was disappointed to realize that overall it is not. COVID-19 wise: I was amazed to realize that in the bus on which we spent two times one hour and a half (from airport to the resort AND from the resort to airport) there were people without masks and nobody from AirCanada agency enforced the basic COVID’s rules! Room: I booked an ocean view room and yes, I got a very far view to the ocean and also a very close view to the very noi [... read more]sy entertainment ground. Also, this ocean view room is in the main building which is the farthest building form the beach. The room is average and could be paid more attention to cleanness. Beach: If you love to stay on the beach, this is not a place for you. There are few beach chairs and no umbrellas or beach sheds on the beach. I spent a lot of time chasing unoccupied beach chairs, or moving the chairs under the beach trees looking for shade. Services: The first day I asked for beach towels in several places and the only answer I got was “there are not towels right now but will come in 15 minutes!” very Cuba-like attitude! At least in Cuba the beach is very good and the price is one third of the price I paid for this resort. Food: cafeteria food was decent without the variety found in Mexico or Dominican Republic at the same resort level. Restaurants’ food generally good and well presented, but again, the quality can vary from one day to the other for the same restaurant for the same dish. Wine prices are way too high! Entertainment: Good daily aerobic in the pool. General atmosphere: the resort is very green and it presents a very nice landscape with interesting trees and nice bushes along the alleys I am not sure that I will ever return to this resort.

Dreams Riviera Cancun: Fantastic vacation

Resort was great. Staff was so friendly and helpful; hotel grounds were immaculate, covid protocol was diligently followed. Food was excellent. Beach and pool facilities were great. Would not hesitate to return.

Wyndham Alltra Punta Cana: Great experience

Staff at this resort try harder than any of the 15 others we have gone to. The grounds and pool are beautiful. Food was excellent. Covid tests are on site , no positive test so far in 2022. We couldn’t be happier. Special thanks to Dancer WILLIS.
