Amazing resort

The people there are very friendly, the place is always being clean and the weather was sunny and hot everyday. great vacation spot, will return. loved it. This is a very beautiful resort and the people that work there plus the people that visit were great. love it

Tangolunda, Huatulco is heaven.

The hotel is a short 20 minute ride from the airport. It is clean, comfortable and well run with friendly staff. Rooms are spacious and kept clean by their courteous staff. Food is excellent starting with the ocean side buffet. The 5 specialty restaurants do not require reservations...first come, first served. There are 6 pools situated around the property. The ocean is just steps away from the large infinity pool. The property has many shady spots for those wishing to escape the sun. Every day  [... read more]was sunny and hot. The only complaint was that the hotel does not adhere to requests made during the initial reservation process. Requested highest floor with partial ocean view (paid upgrade), received second floor, ocean mostly obscured. Requested king size bed, received two double beds. Requested banner on door acknowledging return guest, not provided, despite many such banners being displayed on room doors. Hotel claims the request was never received.

Love this resort! We'll be back.

Beautiful beach, good food, clean facilities, and excellent service. Weather was fabulous every day. Super quiet resort that's good for older adults and families. Would be boring for party crowd. The staff are super accommodating. Only complaint was lack of shaded chairs at pool and beach. Too hot for full sun and we love heat. People were getting up at 6 am to save chairs and then never show up. We really enjoyed our vacay and wished we were there longer.

Great resort!

It's a beautiful resort with great food. We especially enjoyed the room service for breakfast. The first night our room was noisey being close to a bar. Once we let them know that sleep was a priority to us, they moved us to a very quiet end of the resort. The staff was helpful and seemed genuinely wanting to please and not expecting tips but much appreciated. We loved our ocean swims with fairly good snorkeling right from the resort. The beds were compfy with nice linens. However, I [... read more] prefer my bed to be just a little softer, so they made our beds daily with stacked blankets under the fitted sheet which made it much better. The restaurants had great food but my husband had to wear a collard shirt and closed toe shoes at the Italian one. We rarely ate the large buffet and mostly had lunch at the Seaside grill buffet which had a smaller selection but more than plenty to choose from in the open air by the ocean. There wasn't guacamole at the buffet but you could order it freshly made. The cafe had really good coffee, espresso drinks, smoothies and pastries. And I'm the kind of person who likes Stumptown coffee. We love Huatulco for it's consistent nice weather and direct flights from Calgary.

Dreams Huatulco: Beautiful Resort

The Dreams Huatulco resort was beautiful! Rooms, restaurants, public washrooms and grounds were extremely clean and well cared for. Restaurant and room cleaning staff were amazing, friendly, helpful and aways smiling. The food in both the buffets and al a cart restaurants was a little dissapointing, however typical for a Mexican all inclusive resort. The beach has a steep slope to and from the pools and is some what hard to climb, not great for anyone with mobility issues. The sand on the beach  [... read more]is also very course and not packed for easy walking (a function of nature not the resorts fault) and you can only walk about 1/2 mile until the beach ends, so not a resort for those who like long walks on the beach. We had an enjoyable and relaxing time at the resort, however would not rush back.

Beautiful Resort!

This resort has lovely, manicured grounds and constantly being groomed and cleaned. Our room was great and us being Preferred status allowed us to use lounge, well stocked with food and drinks. Resort staff were friendly and very accommodating and went over and above to get anything we wanted. Several pools and towels were available at any time. No wristbands used. Only complaint was with food as buffet pretty much same every day. Specialty restaurants were nice but not outstanding food - only  [... read more]ok.

5 Star resort all around. Amazing and beautiful place.

This is my second time to Dreams Resort, Huatulco and I wouldn't hesitate to return. This is a beautiful hotel, very clean and the service is great. I've been to all the al a carte restaurants and the food is awesome. I love the fact that you don't have to wear a wrist band all week and you don't need reservations for the al a carte restaurants. All the pools are kept very clean and we enjoyed the water aerobics. We also did a little bike tour and learned about the outlying hotels and t [... read more]heir history. We chartered a private boat (through Jesus on the beach) for the 7 bay tour. He was very respectful and a lot of fun. I highly recommend this resort.

Amazing place to stay!

We spent one week in this paradise. Grounds were lovely and manicured, someone was maintaining the grounds daily. The outdoor beach/pool area was constantly being cleaned by staff. Hotel room was clean, beds were comfortable, good sized rooms. Food at both the buffet and restaurants was top notch. We especially enjoyed the Asian restaurant. Beach craft (kayaks, paddle boards) were in good shape and felt safe. We also took advantage of the bikes. I would suggest that they buy a wrench so  [... read more]that they can adjust seat heights on bikes, but other than that, it was a fun, free excursion. Staff could not be more friendly, helpful, pleasant. And the weather was everything we had hoped for...constant sunshine, about 25 degrees consistently during the day. The day entertainment group was fun but not overbearing. I appreciated the fact that even though this is a family oriented hotel, there were 2 adult pools, one very quiet and one that was more lively.

Dreams Huatulco Review

This will be my first time reviewing a vacation and I hope to give my honest impression of my trip. We were travelling in a group of 4 adults and had initially intended on staying at Secrets Huatulco. As I had booked the trip less than 2 weeks out I found that the Secrets was not available but Dreams was and opted for that resort. The resort was located approximately 20 minutes from the airport and the process from landing to arriving at the resort took 1 hour. I will say that this was our 4th t [... read more]rip to Mexico within the last year so comparing it to other resorts was still fresh in my mind. HOTEL Well maintained and very clean with workers constantly working to ensure things were kept that way. The grounds were manicured nicely and the layout of the resort was easy to navigate. There were 2 infinity pools( 1 adult, 1 family) overlooking the beach and bay of which the view was beautiful. There were also 3 other pools located throughout the resort. ROOMS Clean and spacious with no issues to speak about. Our bathroom had a large stand up shower with rainfall showerhead. I found the bed very comfortable and the bar and room was replenished daily. Of note make sure that the balcony sliding door is fully closed or the AC will shut off. FOOD I found the food to be OK to good depending on which meal I was eating. Breakfast was standard fare ,omelet's ,eggs various meats and the such which I had no problems. We typically ate lunch at the Seaside buffet which overlooked the beach and Bay. The food was fresh and tasty typically with various seafood, chicken, meats, salads ,soups etc. Dinner options were rotating a la carte restaurants being open on different nights as well as the nightly buffet. You could find which restaurants were available that day by reading the TV screens located throughout the resorts at various points. I ate at the Italian restaurant twice and found that to be a pleasing experience with excellent food. The dinner buffet I found to be OK with nothing fancy but more than enough to enjoy. I would say that overall the food experience was good but not exceptional. SERVICE This stood out at this resort. Having stayed previously at 3 other 4.5 to 5 star resorts in Mexico this year, the pool and beach service exceeded the other experiences. Whether sitting on the beach or by the pool servers worked tirelessly to ensure you always had what you required. It seemed that at least every 15 minutes someone was there asking what you needed no matter where you were located. Every server was excellent but forgive me as I cant recollect everyone's name. Erik, Miguel, Iselda (I think) were a few who made this experience memorable. The beach was beautiful with warm and reasonably calm waters excellent for swimming and enjoying paddleboards, kayaks ,etc. which were free of charge. I also enjoyed being able to walk to excellent nearby restaurants to eat and watch football. Trip to town was 43 pesos in cab and I enjoyed being able to walk around and eat ,drink and listen to music in a safe smaller town setting. Having been to Cozumel. Puerto Vallarta, Cancun and the Mayan I think for me this is one of the nicest areas in Mexico and will definitely be back. I would highly recommend Dreams ( and especially Huatulco) to anyone thinking of travelling to Mexico.

A friendly vacation spot

Resort was very clean and the staff were friendly and very accommodating. This was my first stay and would love to go back again soon. Enjoyed every minute of our trip. Easy commute to locations outside the resort.

Dreams

Excellent seafood, decent vines, clean area. Friendly people servicing my needs. The best part is the climate, you can trust (considering the time of season). Warm and clean water, Unfortunately very strong undercurrent to enjoy a safe swimming. Not far away from the airport.

Fabulous resort

My family of 4 just returned from Dreams resort in Huatulco. Weather was perfect, sunny and 30 everyday. The resort was great, loved the fact of no wristband and no reservations needed at the a la carte restaurants. Food was very good, accommodated gluten free allergy well. The concierge will provide a note to give to restaurant for ease of communication. Restaurants were well maintained and clean. My 14yr old was happy to take his basketball to use on the courts, basketball hoops without nets [... read more] was disappointing for him. It is a minor thing but is something could be easily fixed by the hotel. Exercise room was well equipped and clean. Massage and hydrotherapy at Spa was fabulous. Missing Ping pong paddles and balls during the week were frustrating for my kids - this also seems like an easy and inexpensive fix to have extras on hand. Drink service on beach and around pools made up for the placement of bars at either end of resort. The coffee bar was amazing serving not only coffee but smoothies with lots of yummy desserts. Strong recommendation to take Pesos instead of US dollars. We have traveled to many places and found some of the staff not overly friendly to English speaking guests at this resort. Saw manarays right on beach in front of hotel which was exciting. Highly recommend boat/snorkle tour - saw dolphins, sea turtles and humpback whales which was definitely the highlight of our trip! Also took taxi to Copalita ruins and hired a guide which was an interesting experience. Only a 15 min cab ride from the hotel.

Beautiful resort

Arriving at the resort was a little stressful. Sunwing bus driver unloaded our luggage at the Barcelona resort. My finance had to walk back to get our bags. Keep a close eye on your luggage. The registration/check in at the Dreams was more work than it had to be. There is only 3 small desk as the front desk with just 3 clerks. But registration was actually around the corner at a long table with 2 clerks. This location was hidden from plain view so made procedure confusing. Then i had  [... read more]to go back to the "3 desks"/front desk and stand in line to get word that room wasn't ready and was told to come back later for our keys. All this seemed so unprofessional for a resort chain with such high standards. Once we got into our room it was lovely, and clean. We were situated in a wing that had not yet been renovation on the outside. ...cracked stucco. Didn't look of Dreams standards, but the rest was wonderful. Rooms, beach, and restaurants are all very clean, with friendly service. A la cartes were very good. Service, food presentation and food quality was of very high standards. The main buffet, World Cafe, was smaller than I expected and very loud and busy so we had every breakfast amd lunch at the Seaside cafe over looking the ocean. It was less busy and had no line up for the omlette station. Need a really good late night burger? Visit Seaside Cafe before 1030 pm. If it's closed order through room service. Fries are crispy! There isn't enough palapas on the beach so everyone goes down at 630-730 am to put their towels on the loungers. We read that the pool attendant take them off aftr 30 mins but they don't. People still leave towels but don't show up for hours. If you have trouble finding chairs ask an attendant and they are more than happy to pull towels or move chairs for you. All good! The resort is generally very quiet. We didn't see or hear the entertainment team hardly at all. Good and bad. We did like the lobby lounge entertainment every night. We also left the resort to visit the local bar across the street to watch an Oilers game. Overall we loved the location, hotel and beach! And will return. Hopefully the few deficiencies will be rectified.

A beautiful resort in a beautiful area

We are 60 years old who have travelled to most of the Caribbean islands and several Central American countries, usually staying in 4 / 5 star all-inclusive resorts. We prefer smaller type resorts with a chance to visit the local area. We have been to this area once before and found the local people basically, polite, friendly and comfortable to be around whether at the resort or in town which is why we went back to the Huatulco area. This one week trip we chose the Dreams Resort based on compe [... read more]titive pricing we received through TripCentral and very good reviews being reported on Tripadvisor. We found the Dreams Huatulco resort to be one of the better experiences overall we have had at an all-inclusive resort. The meals and drinks were better than we have seen with good selections and no, to little waiting for seating in the restaurant’s or buffet. The resort, grounds and beach were very clean, plenty of seating and as always no matter where we go the early bird gets the best seats but I don’t think there are any bad seats at the Dreams Huatulco. The rooms were comfortable, clean and serviced twice a day which we found a little much, once a day is sufficient for the amount of time we spent in them. If you are people who like to sit by the pool, this resort offers what looked like to us two infinity pool for adults, a family pool and I’m going to call it a shady senior pool with lots of sunny or shady seating around them. With the resort being on the Pacific we found the waves not to be that strong with an optional place for easy access into the water where there was good snorkeling. There were many more items that impressed us with the Dreams Resort but overall the above are the basics we usually look for when choosing a place and a resort to go to. Based on our stay and talking to the many other people we met who were having the same experience as us at the resort we would have no problems recommending this resort and look forward to our return or checking out the other Dreams Resort locations. See you on the Beach.

Great holiday and resort.

We have travelled​ extensively through the Caribbean over many years and we this resort is the cleanest we have ever seen along with excellent service and great food. Highly recommend especially for beach lovers.

Excellent Resort

Beautiful resort 25 minutes from the airport. Safe, clean and loads of fun. Loved the 24 hour cafe which served all types of coffee, smoothies, teas and pastries. Food was plentiful including a wide variety of drinks. Service was excellent and we received an upgraded room upon arrival. Enjoyed the infinity pools and also spent time relaxing at the adult only pool.

Great resort.

This resort has it all: great beach, pools, rooms,staff and weather. The food is good with no dinning reservations required. Lots of A la carte dining. Not all restaurants were open every day and some of the English translation of the menus was poor, particularly in El Patio. We liked the Asian and Sea Side Grill the best. The buffet was great for breakfast and lunch. Good snorkelling right off the beach. Surf was yellow flag all week. If you use other than pesos or credit card in the shops you  [... read more]need to show a passport which I thought strange. Something about money laundering. We were here in 2010 and as a result our room was upgraded.

Dreams was beyond our expectations!

From the moment we entered the resort our holiday was destined to be the "best one ever"! Our flight was 3 hours late from Victoria, BC and when we arrived in the evening we were greeted with a welcoming beverage and check-in was quick and efficient. We had a great dinner at the World Café, then explored the resort.. The rooms were so beautiful with our room attendants, Alma and Brenda, making sure everything was perfect; from the different flower petal design on our bed everyday to ensurin [... read more]g we had clean linens, lots of sunscreen and lotion.... I loved the pool volleyball, water aerobics, morning yoga and wild "Zumba"! I'm a swimmer, so the infinity pools so close to the ocean were absolutely a dream come true.....imagine swimming your lengths while watching the sun rise and listening to the ocean breaking on the sand...pinch me....I must be dreaming:) We had the best of both worlds at Dreams; pool for those who don't care for swimming in the salt water and the ocean for those that do... Lots of loungers to spend the lazy days; either on the beach or at the pool. Our weather was clear skies everyday except the last day which was cloudy; still warm though A special thankyou to Misael Boutista Lopez, our beach server, who looked after us so well we named a new drink....."Misael Sunset" after him.....Tequila shot, orange slice and lime slice squeezed in a highball glass The Rendevous Lounge is where our server Edie Acxel Martinez Cruz looked after us so well. Thankyou Edie:) Dreams is definitely one of the best resorts I have ever been to.

Beautiful

This was s lovely resort , very clean , wonderful friendly staff I would recommend this resort to anyone, the only suggestion would be to stop people going down st 5 in the morning and putting towels on the lounges, and then coming back hours later . Or perhaps the resort should follow secrets example and out more shade spots on the beach or arround the pools

Outstanding Resort!

This hotel is the perfect size. Not so large that everything is so far away. The restaurants are really good and as a bonus you don't have to reserve. The beach is really nice as well as all of the infinity pools at the resort. Just beautiful. The rooms are a nice size and kept very clean along with turndown service. What I particularly loved is that you can eat breakfast at a lovely restaurant outside overlooking the beach and also eat dinner under the stars! With the weather there always b [... read more]eing perfect you truly want to eat outside and not stuck inside a restaurant like at some resorts. This resort has become our favourite! Why go somewhere else when this one is so good! The people are so friendly and the whole area feels very safe. No question, I would recommend this place to everyone but would also like to keep it a secret so it can stay just the way it is!!
