Wyndham Alltra Punta Cana: Nice Resort, Nice Amenities, Nice Staff...But Still needs work

Well kept grounds , no mosquitos. Kids clubs, family/teen centre, pools, and beach were great. Staff were nice. Food ok, but too much pork. Rooms clean, but too small. All of us got travellers diarrhrea.

Hyatt Vivid Punta Cana: Dreams Palm Beach

Hello, Let me start by saying I was not impressed at all with Dreams Palm Beach Punta Cana. We've stayed at Dreams resorts before and it exceeded our expectations! To start upon loosing our luggage once located made us pay a 70 fee to have it sent to the resort with no receipt to claim upon our return. The food selection was horrible.. even the buffet had the exact same food everyday! Like I said we've been to another Dreams in Dominican and never experienced that! We had to write a review on [... read more] trip advisor before we could get lobster! Are you kidding me!! The kids club was way out of the way.. the days it rained they had nothing lined up for kids! They didn't have the trampoline in the water.. Beach was horrible! Rooms were average. However no water pressure.. thank god I paid for our inlaws to come so we could use their shower! Special side note.. you should advise the rooms don't come with a bath tub! That was a treat trying to shower my 7 month old who can't sit up!! In the end the money that I personally paid for 7 people to go was insane for what we got! We would of been better off going to the last Dreams or even the Bahia that I would of rated a 15 over a 5 star!

Dreams Aventuras Riviera Maya: PERFECT FAMILY VACATION

Our family just returned from a fabulous week at Dreams Puerto Aventuras. The hotel was the perfect size, wasn't overly large which was great for young families. Our daughters (6&9) were able to get around and always in our view, unlike other resorts we've stayed at in the past. We had a ground level family suite, which was amazing. We were able to walk in and out all day long, and great for us when kids were in room resting after a long day in the sun. We had great food and went to all of the  [... read more]a la carte restaurants. It was extremely nice not having to make reservations. We never had to wait and were always taken care of. The barefoot grille made the most amazing wood fire pizzas. To die for! There was a lot of options and never repeat meals. Lots of varieties and plenty of food! Dulce, at the main pool, always made sure we had something cold to drink and was a sweetie. The Kids Club was fantastic and always had activities for the kids. Our girls participated in crafts and bungee trampoline. It was nice that my husband and I felt safe to leave the girls for activities. The entertainment team was fantastic. They truly keep that resort happening. Giovanni, Bernice, Jorge... Loved the water aerobics, Zumba, foam party in pool, zip lining across Beach, sandcastle competition...all an amazing experience that was a wonderful experience for our family. The nightly shows were good, Magic shows, fire show. We participated in the Dolphin Discovery on site as well. However, I booked directly on the website 2 weeks before we arrived. I was able to get a deal (50%) off entire booking, where it was extremely pricey to book at actual location . The town of Puerto Aventuras also has Dolphin Discovery programs too, where you can swim with Dolphins, Manatees and Sea Lions. Puerto Aventuras was a lovely experience. Our daughters had their hair braided, bought souvenirs and ate amazing gelato ice cream! We were able to see the marina and the fish that were caught during day. We were very impressed with the friendliness, the smiles that everyone gave and it truly was an amazing experience. We would recommended this resort for sure!

Dreams Los Cabos: Great time resort

We had a Great time. Very relaxing and extremely friendly staff. Meals were good with a number of selections nightly. Liked that we did not need to make reservations in the restaurants. Air Transat rep in Cabo was disappointing. Put us on the wrong bus to the resort and never confirmed pick up time.

Dreams Playa Bonita Panama: Mediocre resort

This resort is about 150 Kilometers from the airport and based on the time of year it could take a while to get there. This is based on Air Transat flying into Rio Hato airport. It took us approximately 3.5 hours to get to the resort as the Panama Carnival was on and the traffic was backed up for about 100 Kilometers going towards Panama city. The resort grounds were really nice. The beach is not that good as the tide goes out 12 to 16 feet leaving a lot of rock. The beach has sand fleas which a [... read more]re very evident when the tide was out.If you are prone to these bites make sure you have some sort of spray. I found out the hard way. The grounds of the resort are really nice. The rooms are okay. We did have an issue with getting towels replaced and the air conditioner was noisy. There was only 2 Ala-cart restaurants open at one time. You did not have to book time but the one night we went we had a 45 minute wait for a table. The evening buffet at night we found to be cold and not a lot of selection. The breakfast and lunch buffets were the best meals of the day. There is a language barrier as not many people speak English. We have stayed a lot of 4.5 to 5 star resorts and this resort did not compare to them. I would have to say that this was most probably a 3.5 star resort at best. I would not go back or recommend it to any of my friends.

Dreams Huatulco: 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.

Dreams Huatulco: 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.

JW Marriott Costa Elena Resort and Spa: Everything we hoped for.

Dreams did not disappoint. We wanted some isolation and that is what we got. Everything was exceptional. Sure, some of the chairs around the pools were taken early but we never had problems finding some. The food was exceptional and the nightly entertainment was exactly that, entertaining. The beach was beautiful and we'll maintained. Sand as far as you could see and great for swimming. I really liked to be able to stand on the beach, loòk left and right, and not see another resort. I would g [... read more]o back in a heartbeat.!

Dreams Sands Cancun Resort and Spa: great spot for a vacation

the staff and service were great at the dreams sands resort and the food was terrific but we didn't get the room we requested the first night and had to spend a good part of the next day getting that fixed and the room we were moved to was quite dated and this seemed to be so with most of the rooms ,maid service was slow and most times something was forgotten and we had to call to have it made right,all in all it is a pretty good hotel not a four and a half star like advertised but the location  [... read more]is good and the beach and swimming were fantastic ,we would go back if the price was right as we have stayed at more modern places for around the same amount of money.

Dreams Huatulco: 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.

Dreams Dominicus La Romana: Enjoyed our Holiday at Dreams Dominicus

What a beautiful resort. The entertainment staff stand out to me as being one of the best parts of our vacation. They worked so hard and were so enjoyable. The food was also amazing . The a la carts were done very well and the food was excellent. It was great not having to reserve. There is a few things that need improvement. The language barrier was a big one, a lot of staff couldn't speak English. At coffee bar wanted a Spanish coffee , they did not know what it was, and could not un [... read more]derstand us when we tried to explain it. It would be helpful to have a list of drinks with ingredients listed to delete the confusion at the bars. Also for some reason we often got mugs and glasses that were dirty. One night we got a beer with a straw paper cover in it . Also one morning my coffee mug had lipstick and imprint of lips on the outside of mug. Not sure if they dont have a good dishwasher or , it appeared the glasses and mugs may have just been rinsed off. This grossed me out. I felt that at bars and restaurants they need to improve on their organization it often seemed they were running scattered. There is not a lot of shade on the beach and we had to always ask for umbrellas . Just invest in more umbrellas ....problem solved. I understand they just opened and i feel that if they listen to the reviews and address some of the issues this resort will be amazing.

JW Marriott Costa Elena Resort and Spa: A Little Piece of Paradise

It is a well maintained property located in a beautiful setting. Their eye for detail was evident in terms of the upkeep of the grounds, the pools & the restaurants. The staff was always smiling, very pleasant & helpful. The lighting on the property was poor which was a safety hazard. We didn't have any hot water in the shower for the 1st 5 days of our 7 day stay. Items were often overlooked by housekeeping (fresh glasses, packets of coffee) & the mini bar was not stocked every day. Not a [... read more]n ideal setting for the elderly or someone with mobility issues.

JW Marriott Costa Elena Resort and Spa: Amazing resort

Outstanding food and service. The pool is amazing. We really appreciated the Preferred section and all the restaurants. Yoga on the beach in the morning is very nice. Would go back anytime and I would refer my best friends there.

JW Marriott Costa Elena Resort and Spa: Great resort! 5 stars rated in all!

The greatest client experience i have never had. Excellent food, wonderful pools, nice location, extraordinary staff, great site! No negative points to say. I dream about living a future Dreams hotel experience soon!

Dreams Huatulco: 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.

JW Marriott Costa Elena Resort and Spa: Costa Rica Experience

Dreams Las Mareas was definitely a fantastic resort. Zero complaints, very cozy, delicious food, spacious rooms. Definitely in my top 3 destinations globally! I would return in a heartbeat! Staff was amazing too. Although we booked just 3 weeks ahead of time, we realized we might not get double beds in the room but the hotel upgraded us free of charge to a swim out room to accommodate. Although the upgrade was great, it doesn't bare directly on the review - it's the fact that the staff alw [... read more]ays wanted to ensure you were comfortable and enjoying yourself.

JW Marriott Costa Elena Resort and Spa: Great resort

Grounds and rooms were beautiful, the staff very friendly. The food was good but not amazing. The bar tenders Tony and Orlando were so good at their job and made it seem effortless and always with such warm smiles!

Wyndham Alltra Punta Cana: Beautiful!!

We had a spacious, clean swim out room that we found lovely. The food throughout the resort was fabulous, the staff were friendly and helpful. On one occasion, we left early for the gym and left our safe open. Cleaning staff came in, earlier than expected and reported the find to security. We were impressed by the way it was handled and that we had to contact security to have the safe reopened. Grounds were beautifully maintained and were a pleasure to walk around. Down sides: 1, we were next to [... read more] the janitors closet and no effort was made by housekeeping to reduce the noise level. 2, Our tour operator forgot to pick us up to go back to the airport, although they did send along transportation once we contacted them.

Wyndham Alltra Punta Cana: Dreams Punta Cana

Dreams Punta Cana was no disappointment in terms of the resort, its facilities, it's beach, its a la carte restaurants and main buffet. The unique swimming pool is designed in such a way that it winds itself along the complexes and every guest has a piece of it at their doorstep - almost right down to the beach. The food was excellent in its variety, availability and taste. The rooms and balcony were nice in size and the beds were extremely comfortable. However, the rooms could be upgraded t [... read more]o include: a) a double dresser underneath the mounted TV (the space is there for it). The only place to put any personal wear is on open shelving contained within the closet; b) towel bars in the bathroom (there were none); c) the partial shower glass in the bathroom should be removed and a shower curtain installed in its place. You have to actually step into the bathtub to reach the shower controls and/or plug and to also test the water temperature - very inconvenient, not too mention that your feet could get hit with extremely hot or cold water; d) they need to move the toilet paper dispenser to the 'other' side of the toilet to make it more easily accessible. As it stands, you'd better not have shoulder problems - the backward reach is far. The only other noteworthy item for me was the service at the front entrance and in the main buffet. In my opinion, there could have been more staff. Last of the somewhat negatives were the flamingos on-site. They were cute and beautiful, BUT - they were very noisy and could be disturbing for guests that like to sleep in a little. Luckily, I was an early riser. On a positive note, however, I would definitely recommend this resort and also return there myself in a heartbeat - overall, the resort is simply beautiful and won't disappoint.

Hyatt Vivid Punta Cana: Perfect resort for families

The buildings on this resort may be old but this is the cleanest resort I've ever been to & I have definitely been to a lot in the past 30 years & Punta Cana has been one of my favorites, travelling there 3 times. I would definitely recommend this resort to families I think they really cater to the kids, young to teens and even set up a special bulletin everyday in case of a rainy day I was there for 11 nights & I received a call every day from the concierge desk asking me if I was enjoying my  [... read more]vacation and if there was anything they could do for me. I was just a normal client to them, I was not on the preferred package. I wonder how much attention the preferred guest gets compared to the average, my husband & I were happy with the food & service we received there, the staff everywhere were very courteous. The entertainment in the evening shows were very professional, some were definitely outstanding. The gardens were gorgeous, my husband smokes and would not even consider throwing a butt out, always found an ashtray. On the beach where we spent all of our days, they would rake the seaweed a few times a day if needed. Yes I would recommend this resort & we will go back.
