Jun 28, 2025Great pools- not so great food.
My family of 5 stayed at Dreams early June. We had some really positive experiences but also some that weren’t so stellar. First, the positives! *The doctor on site is amazing. I had a small issue and she was transparent about the cost and what she planned to do for treatment. The visit and meds cost less than my regular dr. in the U.S. My issue was NOT dreams related and was no fault of the resort. *The bartender by the beach was great. He was funny and my kids loved ordering their fruity drinks from him. *The pools were a plus. My kids had fun playing volleyball. The not so positives- *The kid gaming area was unkept, smelly and hot. Components were missing to even do most of the activities in the area. It was a big bummer for my son. *The food was… not so great. We are spoiled and live in Midwest farm country . I think most resorts have this issue when they’re trying to mass produce food. Also- the hours for the Buffett were problematic for smaller kids. It wasn’t opening until 12:30 for lunch. *We never got to go to the hibachi place. We called immediately upon arrival to try and book a reservation and the earliest we could get in for dinner our entire stay was 9:30 pm. Not so great for kids *My husband and I are sober and we had a really hard time getting our fridge re-stocked with alternatives. We got desperate and just started ordering juice boxes for the kids and sodas for ourselves from room service. *Don’t go down the dark blue slide if you’re an adult. Your heels and tailbone will thank you. *The beach vendors are relentless. I understand they need to make a living- but some refuse to take no for an answer. Some of them would even approach my children rather than me hoping to get a different response. It felt invasive. Overall, the kids had fun, but everyone was hungry. I don’t know that I would choose this resort again. Bring tip money, pack snacks, avoid the dark blue slide :).

Jun 27, 2025Memorable stay
Everything about the stay was perfect, concierge, butler, waitresses and waiters-all went above and beyond. Swim out room a lovely touch too. Room service fantastic and speedy. Beach was fabulous-no seaweed, lots of pool choice & slides were fun!

Jun 25, 2025Great service, staff and food delicious , some faults but all in all we had a fabulous stay
Lovely warm welcome on arrival. We stayed in room 5342 for a 2 weeks stay. Beautiful hotel, very clean, Rooms were large and spacious and cleaned daily daily room with towel changes. The staff work really hard to keep the rooms pristine and nothing was too much trouble. Lovely large comfy bed and mini bar stocked regularly with water, beer, zero coke, orange/apple juice. Lovely quiet view on tropical side. Most of the staff were happy, and delivered a great service. Shout out to Albert and Delores and all the staff in the sealegs/grotto bar and Veranda bar, always went the extra mile for customers and were very happy, made you feel welcome, which helped make a lovely experience in our stay. However a minority of staff, found it hard to be welcoming, crack a smile and you felt like a inconvenience. Especially some of the staff in the entertainment bar and waitresses asking for drink orders in the show bar. Staff that stood out for us were Yafresiey, she worked really hard on her on her shifts, very efficient and beautiful smile, warm and attentive. picatu (stacey) and the entertainment staff as a whole worked hard to entertain guests day and night and were funny and great at what they do. Entertainment was really good, but my only criticism is we stayed 2 weeks and the same acts were repeated on our second week !! Not really good when you can't really go out of the complex on an evening, so we were limited what we could do on an evening. The Sports bar, good for karaoke, pool and darts but TV focused mainly on basket ball etc... and felt very americanised. It really could do with a revamp as it was dark, very dingy, ripped dangerous carpets, especially if you had, had a few to drinks, it was easy to imagine tgere could be an accident waiting to happen !! Limited seating, not very cosy and in keeping with hotel, definitely Needs modernising, with a little more lighting. Night club, well not the best, nor are the drinks. Flat coke and definitely also needs a revamp especially the bar. We ate in most of the restaurants and sometimes long queues to go in for the al a carte ones.. may benefit all customers being able to book slots and not just preferred club. Staff were mostly lovely in all the restaurants we ate in. Food in all the restaurants was generally good, and good choices available for breakfast, lunch and evening meals in the world cafe. Staff that mainly served us that stood out were Antony and Leondro There were too many to name, but all lovely. Our favourite was fusion, oceana and the seaside grill. We went twice to the Seaside grill, food was lovely, but some of the staff seemed very disorganised and miserable. It was certainly not the customer service that brought us back for food the second time !!!. Fusion staff and oceana staff delivered a great service and felt well looked after by all the staff. Great customer service from concierge and nothing was too much trouble, everything when asked for for our room was delivered in a timely manner. All in all we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend. However for a 5 star hotel it definitely needs certain areas used on an evening by customers, revamping to make it look the part as its very disappointing in comparison to the rest of the hotel.
