Dreams Curacao Resort Spa and Casino: Small beach but calm water with lots of fish for snorkelling.

This is not a 5 star resort, more of a 4 star, there are not a lot of amenities or activities, there were some. No watersports, and no room for it really. Having said that we had read the reviews and knew what it would be like going in so we were not disappointed and we had a great vacation at this property. The beach is small, less than 75 feet wide and only around 100 loungers. But the water was beautiful and always calm. There were tons of fish both close in and further out. The food wa [... read more]s ok, the buffet was small but always had something good to eat, the restaurants were ok as well. There were a few delicious dishes, the pumpkin soup and the crispy pork dish at the Oceana restaurant were great. The beach/pool grill wasn't great. Drinks were great with lots of variety. Service tended to be slow at bars and restaurants, but we were on vacation and weren't ever in a rush. The hotel is older and shows it but the housekeeping and maintenance staff were always busy keeping things up. Our room 535 was huge and had a sofa and a pair of chairs as well, not all rooms were as big it was a preferred club perk. The view and setting of the hotel was beautiful There is a part of an old fort beside the beach and tour groups came in to see it most mornings. Air Canada Rouge was not good, no space and very uncomfortable seats. I would never fly it ever again.

Dreams Cap Cana Resort and Spa: So fun — will definitely be back!

We travelled as two couples and all of us had such a good time. The vibe was perfect, it was easy to relax, but also really fun when you wanted it to be. We spent most of our time at the pool and there was always something going on. We’re usually not the type to jump into games or activities, but the entertainment team completely changed that. Cristopher stood out and was a highlight of our trip, he was super friendly and made us feel like family. We ended up joining way more than expected an [... read more]d it honestly made the trip. The nightly shows were also really good and something we looked forward to. Loved having the 24hr café and room service (menu is more limited late at night but still solid options). The disco above the Coral Keg was a fun bonus too. Food overall was good and staff were great. There are 5 restaurants to choose from, no reservations, so there can be a wait, but there’s also a buffet if you don’t feel like waiting. The location in Cap Cana is beautiful, it’s a gated area with stunning landscaping. The beach directly in front of the resort isn’t very swimmable, but there’s amazing swimmable water less than a 5-minute walk down the beach. Only small issues: our keycards did deactivate a few times (quick fix at the lobby), and the concierge wasn’t super helpful when we asked about going outside the gated area. We were able to figure it out ourselves pretty easily though, so it didn’t affect our trip. We even saw a few beautiful weddings while we were there and are already thinking about coming back to get married ourselves after such a great experience.

Dreams Macao Beach Punta Cana: Family fun in the sun!

We had an amazing family vacation! The resort includes so many amenities and luxuries to make vacationing easy and enjoyable. Great rooms, delicious food, gorgeous beach! Staff are incredible and attentive.

Dreams Curacao Resort Spa and Casino: Not a 5 star

Liked the layout, the grounds, food was good, staff was excellent, helpful. Liked the location. We did not appreciate the accommodation , run down, in need of renovation. During our time there , they fumigated the rooms. We suspect they have bedbugs, based on the bites we noticed. Not great value for the price, as we could have gone elsewhere for less.

Dreams Macao Beach Punta Cana: Fantastic Resort

The hotel and grounds is very well kept and there are folks always cleaning. The beach is beautiful, great for walking the water is clear with a sand bottom, and no seaweed. The waves are fun to jump and you can even try surfing if your up to it! The entertainment stuff are great they make you feel very welcome. Victor& Kenny so much fun! The rooms are very nice, The French restaurant and Sea Side Grill were both amazing Great Food! The buffet has lots of options and a kids corner.  [... read more]We will defiantly be returning to this resort. The staff are amazing and very helpful

Dreams Onyx Resort and Spa: Amazing, above and beyond!

Everything is amazing, including all the staff who are always willing to help. The buffet was also great with tons of options. The entertainment team Veronica, Sharina and others are superhumans! They work really hard to arrange activities throughout the day and I thoroughly enjoyed it! The Waterpark was a surprise for me so I made the most of it! One of my most luxurious vacations for sure

Dreams Jade Resort and Spa: Great resort, wonderful experience.

The hotel was great and met and/or exceeded our expectations. The staff were very friendly, courteous and helpful. The food was excellent. Lots of variety and very good quality. Loved the evening entertainment options. The rooms were very spacious and always clean. The beach was not as expansive as we would have liked but the water was wonderful. Would recommend this hotel to anyone and would return as well. Mark & Silke Malouin

Dreams Riviera Cancun Resort and Spa: Wedding Factory

The Dreams resort has amazing restaurants, probably the best we've ever experienced. The room was clean and well kept and having our own personal plunge pool on our deck was amazing. The beach was really good but unfortunately was over whelmed with sea grass, making it virtually unswimable. It did not have enough chairs and umbrellas on the beach at all, so mildly frustrating. What was truly annoying and disturbing, was being sidelined almost every single day because of weddings. Being pushed aw [... read more]ay from your pool lounge chair, so the crews could set up a wedding. Listening to workers push cart after cart after cart of tables, chairs and stuff for weddings. Having to squeeze onto crowded and limited pool space.... because of another wedding. Trying to find a quiet spot to relax was almost impossible because of all the wedding stuff. In my opinion, the resort marginalized regular resort goers to profit from all these weddings. The resort does not have enough physical space to allow for so many weddings and still have regular guests. I would not recommend this resort for that reason alone.

Dreams La Romana: Dreams la romana 2 adults 2 kids Mar 2026

We just returned from Dreams La Romana resort and spa (preferred) as a family of 4 with 2 young kids. Positives -nice updated rooms with good storage -public bathrooms were often cleaned -maids did an excellent job tidying/cleaning everyday -easy to get into all the restaurants. We ate at all the sit downs and the buffet and had no food poisoning. -Perferred pool had enough shaded seating but wasn’t plentiful. You could get some chairs by 9am. -beach was beautiful like everyone said -e [... read more]verything was very clean, service was great Negatives Biggest negative for me was the lack of liveliness in the lobby area-entertainment was not connected to the lobby, it was in an open field. Uncovered, so it rained out a few times. No tables. Folding chairs. Dark. Tree roots everywhere so my kids fell a bunch. -Coastal-the Perferred breakfast had huge timing issues. One morning we waited nearly 2 hours for breakfast. 25 mins for someone to bring coffee/water. Another 20 to take our order. Another 50 mins to bring the food (2 fried eggs and smoked salmon , and Dominican breakfast - which were cold when arrived). Then our kids cereal took another 15 mins to come. This was a common occurrence everyday. I would have rather gone to the buffet but my husband wanted to utilize the preferred spaces. -chairs at preferred beach were “reserved-ie towels/items” by 8am. Seating was limited here. Chairs/shade in the regular area seemed short was well. -splash area was totally separate from the rest of the resort. No drink service there. -found a few cockroaches in our room, one of which followed us home in our suitcase, yuck. Honestly an overall great experience but would not come back here. Felt they accepted children but wasn’t as kid centered like the last resort we went to in Nov (iberostar selection suites in Punta cana). Iberostar had its issues but it was cheaper and I loved their covered outdoor entertainment space and their walk up icecream bar. My takeaway is that Dreams is beautiful and classy but best for older kids but that’s just my take having experienced a different type of resort last time which was our first time venturing away from Dreams chain.

Dreams Cap Cana Resort and Spa: An amazing vacation

We had a wonderful week. The place Never seems crowded, no line to wait for at restaurants Pools were alittle cool but refreshing. All food was awesome. Staff was amazing too I rate this resort an 9 out of 10

Dreams Flora Resort and Spa: Beautiful resort

This resort was beautiful. The grounds were like a tropical garden. Pools were clean, fun, and although sometimes difficult to get loungers, there was always the beach. It is an easy resort to walk with everything in close proximity to our room. The room was nice, however, we had to ask at times to have the room cleaned and leave notes for items that needed to be replenished such as towels, toilet paper, body wash and shampoo. The food was good and the servers were very good. Staff was alway [... read more]s pleasant and friendly. A wonderful week! Thanks to Nathanael for taking good care of us.

Dreams Flora Resort and Spa: Awesome Family Experience

This hotel offered everything we could have asked for - a beautiful beach and pool amidst meticulously landscaped property. Dining offered many options. Customer service was exemplary. Our travel representative Robyn Murray provided excellent guidance as we explored our destination options. Thank you!!!

Dreams Onyx Resort and Spa: Unfortunately first and last visit

The hotel and grounds are beautiful. Well maintained and clean. The rooms in the 7000 block are modern and well kept and staff friendly, courteous and helpful. We were greeted warmly upon arrival with a smile and cold drink which helped to temper our disappointment that not only were we unable to be in adjoining rooms from our daughter and her family, neither were we even close to one another. In fact, we were across the jungle pool from each other. We made the best of it and got more than our s [... read more]teps in. The biggest disappointment the FOOD. Each person in our family was sick from some form of food item over the 7 days there. Our 3 year old granddaughter needing to see the doctor on site who was excellent. Thankfully she was feeling better before we had to fly home and the rest of us too. Been to DR 5 times and never been ill until here. We were amazed how quick the concierge and security came to the clinic when they found 3 of our family were ill. We loved the idea of no reservations at the restaurants and had no issues getting a table for 6 while we were all still okay, then we had to solely rely on buffet which we found underwhelming. Repetition of same foods each night. Found hygiene an issue with one set of tongs for several food items in one section of the buffet. The pools are lovely, clean fun. The best resort ever to find loungers by pool or shade at the beach. Beach is clean and palm trees make great shade to get out of the sun. Lots of entertainment for everyone. Great family atmosphere. Would I go back? Sadly no.

Dreams Onyx Resort and Spa: Beautiful, kid friendly resort. But not the best food

We spent 7 nights at the Dreams Onyx Resort. The layout and up keep of the property was beautiful. Most of the staff were pleasant and kind. Special attention to the amazing - Junior at the lobby, Dani at the beach and the housekeeping staff. Unfortunately at different times of our trip all of our family was severely sick, which really put a damper on the trip. Even so, we had to take our daughter to the clinic on site. Dr. Vanessa Del Rosario (with Clinic Assist) truly put us at ease and was [... read more] amazing with her. The resort came in to check on her too. But we worry it was the quality of food, since we all got six throughout the trip. I’ve been to many all inclusive resorts, several in Punta Cana. This one by far is the most beautiful- hotel room, layout, etc. But one of the lowest quality as far as food. We unfortunately didn’t get to experience all of the dinner options since we all got sick. We tried to play it safe with the buffet, but still was underwhelming. Lots of events each day for kids, which was great! Gift shop was cute, lots of supplies/meds too.

Dreams Natura Resort and Spa: Just an O-K resort.

Food was pretty good which was the highlight. Staff were nice enough, but the staff to guest ratio was off. Long bar lineups and slow pool service compared to other resorts we've stayed at - despite tipping every round. Ie. Drinks were sometimes melted by the time they got there. Hyatt seems to be intensely cost cutting, even that seemed a reason to keep drink rounds slow or self serve. Bars closed much earlier than posted hours (by 10 instead of 1030 or 11 or the disco supposedly open till 1 ?) [... read more] and we were told sorry you can get a can of beer if you want by a grumpy bartender. Seemed like staff wanted to gtfo come 930. No bar drink menus posted, no mint for mojitos a lot of the time, bar wouldn't make shots "its a family resort" which we certainly weren't going crazy by any means. Usually if you asked for a drink from their online menu they couldnt make it, only very basic recipes. Or inconsistent, some people got garnish some didnt, some got a completely different drink despite ordering the same thing. Now onto the rooms and grounds and hotel: our first room reeked of mold and had staining like it had flooded, door was all warped. I know Mexico is humid but this was insane. We asked to be moved and it was better, our families other room (swim up) had no smell and was much better. Between the 2 rooms, they had inconsistent amenities. One slippers one without, one had a soap dish, one didnt lol. We borrowed an ihome charger alarm clock that was in my sisters room because the rooms had barely any working outlets and when we returned it to her room on the last day, they called me to accuse me i stole the alarm clock when our room never had one to begin with ?. The resort itself is in o-k condition, but if it is only 5 years old that shocks me as there were signs of disrepair. Grounds are well kept but other resorts we've stayed are nicer. The pool chair game is annoying but we were able to get a spot at the preferred pool (some days better than others like some days no umbrella available and sat there burning) without going out at 6am like the other freaks. Could never get any chairs at any of the other pools. Beach and sand are nice but water murky and sargassam but if you manage expectations that way it was fine. Waterslides and zip line good, lazy river and activities and entertainment were meh. Another weird thing is they use carbon paper slips to take your order...no ipads or at nice places they do it by memory just seemed weird for a huge hotel chain, like what year is it! Charging an add on like a special bottle of wine, or spa treatments etc to your room was a whole ordeal where you were made to sign your life away in 3 highlighted spots on a carbon receipt book and handwrite 'i accept these charges' ? it was so outdated. Staff seemed legitimately scared if they didnt follow every protocol to a T. There were just a lot of cost cutting penny pincher vibes overall. For $8k for the 2 adults and a kid on this trip, I would not stay here again. Its just on the higher cusp of mid tier, and would have paid a couple more grand to have those smaller details looked after that I notice.

Dreams Karibana Cartagena Golf and Spa Resort: First trip to Colombia

We really enjoyed Dreams Karibana Cartagena. I was a bit worried after reading some on-line reviews, but everything was lovely. It is a small resort, so the buffet meals had fewer options than other resorts we’ve been to but the quality of the food was great. The pool was never crowded, and we had no problems getting poolside lounge chairs. The rooms were clean, but with a bit of wear and tear. We saw maintenance people on site most days, so I would guess the whole resort is getting a bit of a r [... read more]efresh. The staff was amazing. Very friendly - by the end of our week, we knew most of the entertainment crew. A couple downsides: there was no beach to speak of, apparently due to high water levels and we didn’t always have hot water for showers.

Dreams Riviera Cancun Resort and Spa: Great experiemce

The hotel rooms are very well kept and are equipped with hair dryer, shampoo/conditioner, soap and lotion. The grounds are clean. The food and entertainment were great. The staff are super friendly and accommodating. I would stay here again.

JW Marriott Costa Elena Resort and Spa: Great Time!!!

Hotel was very clean and excellent service. This is the fourth trip I have booked with Alisa from Trip Central and as usual amazing service from her!! Thank you Alisa and looking forward to the next trip you book for us!!!

Dreams Estrella Del Mar Mazatlan : Beautiful Resort

Rooms are lovely, resort is very well maintained. Food at the à la carte’s was very good, especially at the Italian. Buffett food was so-so. Some problems: ran out of regular Nespresso coffee pods in the room, lazy River was down for 4 days, stingy on the bottled water-had to keep requesting more, not enough umbrellas by the pool -all taken by 9:00 am. Overall a beautiful resort. Beach is amazing.

Dreams Aventuras Riviera Maya: Nice small resort for families

Very cute small resort, perfect for families with young kids as they cannot go far out of your site. The hotel has amazing kids activities and the staff were incredible. There is an issue with space in the pool as there really is only one pool with a small "hot tub" that apparently is supposed to be adults only but honestly the kids hang out in it. There was NOT enough seats arpund the pool or beach. Everythjng was saved for preferred. If you went over to their pool they had almost double the  [... read more]amount of seats. Beach was beautiful, white sand, they have a barrier so the waves and seaweed do not enter the swimming area. Swimming area is very shallow. The room was good, lots of space- the "pull out couch" though was not great, hard on one side soft on the other and the bottom half would slide apart. The food was okay, the restaurants were good but the buffet was mediocre at best- always the same foods and it was a small buffet. We always tried to get to a restaurant but if you didn't show up right at 6 or just before 6 it was 1.5 hours wait to get a table. Some of the evening entertainment was awesome! Some were mediocre. Im not sure we would return here. But my kids had a great first all inclusive vacation.
