Jan 19, 2026Best resort we have stayed at.
This place is amazing and Angel from the front desk took care and attention to help us locate lost items. They have an efficient team working so hard in all areas of the resort. I would highly recommend. The food, surf, and rooms are 10/10

Amazing!
We stayed at Dreams Bahia Mita for 4 nights (adults only trip — no kids) and had such a wonderful experience. The property is beautiful, the rooms were great, and there are so many different pools and areas to enjoy that it never felt repetitive. One of my favorite parts was discovering quiet little nooks around the resort to relax — it’s easy to find peaceful spots even when the resort is busy. Also, the beach is much larger than the photos show, which was a really nice surprise. A huge highlight for us was having daily access to the Secrets adults-only section — it was so worth it. We spent a lot of time there and especially loved the quiet pools. Pros: • The staff is truly amazing — warm, attentive, and genuinely kind. • Special shoutout to Ismael (Preferred Lounge on the 2nd floor) and Stephanie at Olio — both made our stay extra special. • Best food: Himitsu was our favorite meal on the property. • The resort involves a lot of walking, but we actually enjoyed it — it helped balance out all the great food and lounging. • The spa is incredible — highly recommend the hydro circuit and relaxing by the rain waterfall afterward. Cons: The only downside for us was the cocktails. Most were very sweet and didn’t taste like they had much alcohol. We kept wishing there was a true cocktail lounge with more elevated drinks (not even one place had bitters!). Overall, we absolutely loved our stay and will 100% be back — next time we plan to come with our kids because it seems like an amazing resort for families too.
