JW Marriott Costa Elena Resort and Spa: Awesome resort!

Beautiful resort! Food was amazing.. I am someone who gets a stomach ache from all the food I eat at resorts, but I was completely fine with everything at this resort. Pools were spectacular and all the staff were amazing. The rooms are so well kept. They will mop the entire floor each day and clean the room so that it is sparkling.

Dreams Dominicus La Romana: Excellente

The resort has more depth than width. It was much smaller than the Dreams La Romana. It was ‘compact’ but adequate. All the amenities were closer to the beach area; the Coco lounge (24 hrs) provided soup, sandwiches, deserts and a variety of coffee and tea. There were four a la cartes and the food was very good. The buffet was good but lacked a bit in variety. Overall, the staff was very friendly and courteous. There were two main pool areas, one quieter than the other which had the activiti [... read more]es and swim up bar. We had preferred status so we had access to another restaurant for breakfast and lunch plus separate area on the beach for relaxing and bar and food service. I would recommend paying extra for preferred status. Across the road from the main lobby was the preferred area with access to snacks, drinks and internet and pool with jacuzzi and a kids pool. This area is furthest from the beach, so if you want to be close to all the other amenities get a room in building 60 and up.

JW Marriott Costa Elena Resort and Spa: Amazing Trip!

Dreams was one amazing resort to stay in! We had an amazing ocean view and all the shops and restaurants were very close to us. Staff were very helpful and the resort was just beautiful! I would definitely go back and stay at the pool all day again! Maybe this time I will try more excursions that were offered in the resort!

Dreams La Romana: Good place to unwind!

The premises are very nice. The beach and ocean are the best. The pool area was pretty good as well. The food was good but the service was a bit lacking, it could be improved at the restaurants. The room was nice, clean but a bit dated. The music was redundant, I could have used a bit of variety! Overall a great place to relax.

Hyatt Vivid Punta Cana: Great resorts

Love the food but they need more variety in the buffet They have almost the same food every day I think they should have different kind of food .. service was great overall I will go back Room was good they clean it twice a day

Dreams La Romana: Great Resort - No Seaweed

We stayed in late August for one week with our two grand-daughters (10 and 12). The room accommodation was great (I am tall and thought I would be confined in a double bed but we got a King for us and a double for the kids). The beach is small but clean and is not infested by seaweeds (had a bad experience in Mexico earlier this year). The kids enjoyed the Explorer's club to the point we had to negotiate to spend time with them (club can be from 9h30 AM to 10h00 PM). The pools and scenery  [... read more]are amazing (you see the beach from pretty much everywhere). Food was great and the no reservation did not cause delays except one night where we showed later than usual. The only annoying thing for early sleepers, the entertainment around the pool stops at 11h00 PM every night and can be loudly heard from your room (Building 5 in all cases). Overall, an excellent stay.

Dreams Sands Cancun Resort and Spa: Memorable vacation

Hotel is old but clean...it makes up with the excellent service, beautiful beach area, delicious amazing restaurants Staff is so friendly and attentive ....they made our stay a memorable one........

Fiesta Americana Riviera Nayarit: Fantastic beach

Dreams is a beautiful property situated on one of the nicest beaches on Banderasa Bay and Julio, our beach waiter, is one of the best waiters ever. Check in was smooth, but there were a couple of anomalies with our stay. We were in the Ocean View tower, but only one elevator was working, which meant long waits, luckily we were on the 3rd floor so we could use the stairs. We had really good food for the most part, but one day the Barefoot Grill and Oceana were both closed at lunch (somethng wron [... read more]g in the kitchen) so we went to the buffet. But the buffet was almost completely lacking in food - no taco station, no fresh veggies for the pasta station, no bread, no cold cuts - basically you could have a lettuce salad and pasta with plain sauce. Luckily the issue in the kitchen was resolved and we were able to get a hamburger form the Barefoot Grill. But, overall our vacation was fabulous and the food at Portofino was divine. Our room was good, but I think its time they got rid of the jacuzzi tub on the deck and the giant bathtub in the room. Air conditioning worked great - which is always a plus. The staff we dealt with were all very helpful. All of the beach waiters were really good, never had to wait very long for a drink but our checkout was a bit of a trainwreck - only one clerk to check out way too many guests. But yes I would go back - mainly because the beach is so beautiful - soft golden sand, no rocks, gentle slope into the water so the waves weren't too powerful. Spent all our time on the beach and could always get a lounge chair under a palapa - rest, relax, read - take a dip in the ocean then into the pool to wash off the salt and back to the lounger. Doesn't get much better than that.

Hyatt Vivid Punta Cana: Disappointment Awaited Us.

Unfortunately, we were let down quite a bit on our trip to Dreams Palm Beach Punta Cana. We were attending my cousins wedding, which was a nice event although I felt we were rushed. The entire vacation with over 50 of us there people were sick almost daily, we've since come to realize this is not uncommon on this resort. The staff were friendly although not overly helpful. If you didn't tip accordingly you wouldn't be served promptly or with care. (We are tippers and so this was not an issue for [... read more] us directly but some of our family members had notable issues with this which I witnessed first hand.) The food flavor and display was a 5/10 at best and I have to say I expect more for the price we paid. Room cleanliness was acceptable, nothing special. The beaches while out of control of the resort entirely were completely filled with sargassum seaweed which can be a hazard and while the resort failed to mention it, I immediately did research and found out that it can cause severe skin irritation. Needless to say none of us were in the water at any point. The pools closed early nightly which really was unfortunately especially with not being able to use the beaches. There was a ridiculous amount of construction making it difficult to enjoy any type if relaxation or time at the spa. There was absolutely no entertainment and again for the cost I found this ridiculous. We do travel quite a bit and I can honestly say I would never recommend this resort to anyone. Unfortunately.

Dreams Tulum Resort and Spa: Dreams? Ugh! More like nightmare

I was so excited to be going to this resort. It looked spectacular in the pictures and I liked the fact that it was a smaller resort. We flew with Sunwing; That was our first mistake. When we finally arrived at the resort we were hot, tired and hungry. (I travelled with my 5 year old alone) Shocker!!!!! No reservations on file. I showed them all my paperwork, receipts, bookings and they couldn't care less. It was awful. We sat for almost 3 hours waiting for a rep from Sunwing to call and confirm [... read more] the reservation; even though I had the paper proof in my hand!!! The Sunwing rep was awful; she just kept saying 'give them your credit card and pay for it and we will sort it out later....ummmm I already paid nearly $4000 for this trip so NO! I felt bullied as they wouldn't give any other solution other than pay again and pray that it works out. At this point my son and I were both crying so I finally gave in and gave them my credit card. Room was nice but not what I had booked; food was ok; beach was full of seaweed and you couldn't swim there. You couldn't get a lounge chair; it was a free for all! No limit for towels so people were taking huge amounts and getting loungers at the beach and at both sides of the pool. It was ridiculous!!! You could see people running out around 5am grabbing chairs and towels. I sat on the concrete at the pool all week; that was not a 5 star experience. I wouldn't go back to this hotel nor would I recommend it to a friend. And if "Dreams" thinks its ok to treat their guests that way; I will never stay at any of their resorts.

JW Marriott Costa Elena Resort and Spa: Best ever resort

My husband and I enjoyed this resort so much that we are hoping to take our 4 grown kids with their partners and grandchildren to celebrate our 40 th wedding anniversary. We felt so comfortable, the food was superb, ( and we love nice food), the staff were ALL so sweet and kind. We came home so relaxed. We have never gone to a resort twice! We enjoyed the entertainment at night, especially the small groups of musicians. We danced on our balcony. Each pool area had a different feel to it.

Dreams Riviera Cancun Resort and Spa: Okay trip not the best!

We hadn’t gone on vacation in six years.. We chose to go with Dreams Riveira Cancún Resort & Spa. Not the greatest stay.. food was very blan, always the same choices not many variety. Entertainment team wasn’t the greatest lack of popular music needed to be played. They mostly played jazz everyday at the pool, when we at least expected Latin music to be played. Beach was full of sea weed but they were working hard everyday to clean the beach. We enjoyed our breakfast/lunch server at the w [... read more]orld cafe Anacacio made our mornings a good one. Don’t plan on going back to this resort mostly because the food was not the greatest!!

Wyndham Alltra Punta Cana: Very nice resort

Grounds of the resort are beautiful. Needs improvements like providing more air conditioning restaurants or at least more fans . Needs improvements of air conditioning in rooms,not all working well. Problems with plumbing,some rooms got fladded.

Wyndham Alltra Punta Cana: Once we got over a horrible welcome, it was a good trip

Upon our arrival, we found that our travel agent had neglected to send the registration information for one of the people in our room, to the hotel. The desk clerk & manager were not willing to accept the hotel confirmation that we had been sent to me, that included this third member. We were checking in with a large wedding party. The mixup with our room resulted in us having a 3 hour wait before we were given a room after paying a $300 deposit. During this time the staff would not allow us [... read more] to sit down in the lobby, or eat - it had been a long day of travel & was 12 hours since we had eaten. This ordeal could have been made a little more bearable if we had been treated with common courtesy & hospitality. The room we were given did not include the cot that we had been promised for my granddaughter, nor enough towels for 3 people. I have yet to receive an apology from the resort or the travel agency. I will certainly never book again with trip central.

Dreams Dominicus La Romana: super nice fantastiko

the hotel it's very clean end beautiful food delicious ,so many chose four everybody the rums are clean end big species . sea water was very nice ,pol,s super nice . only there its some rooks on the beach

Dreams Dominicus La Romana: Great time at a great resort

We really enjoyed the Dreams Dominicus and all it has to offer. We upgraded to the Preferred Swim-Up Rooms which were nice but we didn't get much use of the private pool. It was nice to have the preferred perks such as a buffet restaurant for only preferred guests and a section of the beach with beach service. There was also pool service and room service included for everyone which is wonderful, you feel truly spoiled. Our (we were 6 ladies travelling together) experience with the staff  [... read more]was great, they were friendly enough, we had no issues. The food was good, the a la carte restaurants were especially good although I wasn't overly fond of the sushi. The beach was beautiful, calm, clear water and plenty of white sand.... there was a little market about a 5 minute walk down the beach with all the souvenirs one could need. The Spa was very nice and my services with Ana were wonderful. The packages are definitely negotiable though and they have a different special every day. I would definitely recommend this resort, it's the third Dreams resort I have stayed at and probably the least favorite of the three but still a nice, relaxing place.

JW Marriott Costa Elena Resort and Spa: Amazing, breath taking resort

We went to Dreams for our honeymoon and we couldn't have asked for a better resort! It was rainy season, but that was perfect because everywhere you looked, there was greenery. The grounds were kept so clean, as were the pools. There were so many pools to choose from and plenty of towels and chairs! All of them were very clean and maintained really well. There weren't many pool activities but we were okay with that because we wanted to relax. At first we were hesitant because of the all ages res [... read more]ort, but we actually ended up using the all ages pool more then the adults only pool. The bars by the pools had quick service and the bartenders would always come around and ask if we wanted any drinks. The bartenders were honestly so amazing. It made staying by the kid's pool side better! The beach was okay. The mountain view in the background was great but if you're going to Costa Rica for the beach, then this isn't the destination for you. Because it is a public beach, there are locals there who will try and sell you their excursions. They are friendly, but it did get kind of annoying after which made us avoid the beach altogether. We stayed at the jungle view building and it was great. At first, all we saw were green trees but every morning, we'd see white faced monkeys jumping through the trees! Some even came to our balcony for fruits. The room was very open. There are frosted glass doors but that's about it.. I suggest you definitely be comfortable with your roommate. We didn't use the tub in the balcony, but it was a cool feature. The World Cafe (all you can eat buffet) was good. The food was kind of repetitive after 5 days but if you switch it up and go to the a la cartes, then you'll be okay. We did however get sick the last day of our 7 day vacation and we suspect that it may be from the raw sushi. Himitsu was amazing. Great show and the best restaurant at the resort. Portifino (Italian) and El Patio (Mexican) restaurants weren't bad. Coco Cafe also had great coffee and gelato. The Barefoot Grill by the pool also had good lunch but it was the same everyday - burgers, sausages, quesadillas and wraps. We did the Mega Combo excursion through Swiss Travel. It was amazing! Best experience ever. The package came with hiking, natural water slide, zip lining, horseback riding, mud bath and volcanic hot springs! Definitely worth the experience for sure. Overall, we are very happy with our decision to go to Dreams for our honeymoon.

Hyatt Vivid Punta Cana: Dreams Palm Beach Punta Cana

The resort and staff were of high calibur! Although, in comparison to most resorts, I would say that the rooms were on an average scale. The pools were large and it was always easy to find chairs or areas in which some degree of isolation could be found from other vacationers. If you elected to upgrade your package, we found that the benefits did not seem worth the money! There are two smaller private pools (1 adult only pool, and 1 family pool), a choice or premium alcohol (still watered dow [... read more]n) and rooms stated as having an Ocean view. But, the Ocean view is still obscured by multiple Palm trees ( in our case the trees were only a few feet from the balcony, so we could not see anything but the family pool below, from the third floor). The resort is very clean and maintained very well! We had no concerns of any bugs, dirt, sand, or other distractions. The food (a la cart) was top notch and very tasteful in both flavour and presentation. The buffet food was satisfying and had plenty of options to choose from, the restaurants were all well maintained, cultural, and comfortable. The Beach was well maintained, but due to the coral reef a fee hundred meters off shore, all seaweed, dead fish, or other algee, and Ocean wash-up, was contained along the entire beach line. Therefore swimming is a risk one has to accept while waist deep in murky brown waters. Plus due to these contained issues, there is always a strong odor of dwad fish and wroten eggs (mostly noticeable in the mornings before the resort staff are actioned to clean the beach front). As this is not the resorts fault, I do not discredit them in any way! They did their best to clean up the sand and water from mother nature's dowel balance. SCUB was of the best quality and aquatic life I have seen from a resort in which we launched right from the beach at the resort. Prices of excursions are all a set price (but negotiable)..... There were plenty of options to choose from but the prices were a bit high. Boarder a deal with the representative if you have a group of people going all at once. Entertainment has a few mixed opinions... There were always activites ongoing, but at a very moderate budget. The resort only played local music, which some may find alluring, but it was hard to dance to if you preferred popular mainstream music. Poolside activities were always ongoing, from yoga to volleyball matches. They were not distracting to anyone just wishing for some quiet time either. As the poll's shape and size allowed a bit of isolation from the noise and visuals. In summary, if you enjoy taking in the resorts (local feel) then you will enjoy this place. If you are a beach bum, then this is not for you. Due to the stagnant waters, the resort had a constant strong odor of dead fish and rotten eggs. Very noticeable on the first day, but you get used to it very quickly and only notice it in the morning when exiting your room. The resort was clean, had great food, and adequate services. It is a great resort if you want to spend a low budget.

Dreams Sands Cancun Resort and Spa: Amazing service

Everything's perfectttt--food, drinks, room, service and place. The only thing I would suggest is to have a later closing time on the swimming pools and they should something at night outdoors for the adults-- open swimminh pool/bars, music outdoor.

Wyndham Alltra Punta Cana: Great Resort

Dreams was great. Immaculate resort, great food, awesome excursions and friendly staff. The resort including the rooms were extremely clean and the cafe has great coffee, donuts and cakes. Overall we all had lots of fun!
