    Dreams Macao is a Dream Vacation

    My favorite resort so far! My family just spent a week at Dreams Macao and had the best experience! If you are like me, and have read the negative reviews and are nervous about an upcoming trip, don't be! We have traveled all over the Caribbean to 5 Star resorts and to Mexico, and we all agreed that this has been our favorite! The staff set this resort apart. The staff are the friendliest, most helpful, energetic, and responsive! They greet you with the biggest smile, and work so hard to ensure you have a great stay! We have four children (ages 12, 10, 9, & 5). We all loved the water park! The entertainment during the day and evenings was spectacular for families. Baby Face on the Entertainment team kept my boys engaged in games, soccer, volleyball, pool side challenges and they would go looking for him every morning. Diana on the Entertainment team, 10 stars! This young girl is the sweetest, friendliest, happiest staff. One night I lost my phone in the sand and it started to rain and all the guest ran for cover and I thought my phone and all my memories were gone, but she stayed with me and searched the sand, calling my phone, and she found it! We did the Preferred Club and I highly recommend the upgrade. This is why, I loved the Preferred Club pool! It was quiet, more relaxing, the service was great! Rigoberto would go over to Coco Cafe and bring me Frappe's even though I could have walked over and got it myself. The bar at the Preferred Club family pool was my favorite. The ladies working there were so friendly and the drinks were great. The main pool was a bit too loud and active for me, so we spent our time at the Preferred Club pool. We loved all the food options! Oceana and Himitsu were our favorite dinner spots. The Taco truck down at the Waterpark is where we ate fish tacos every lunch! They were amazing!! I loved having the Barefoot Grill right there by the Preferred Club pool for lunch for my kiddos! Great hamburgers and the grilled chicken is delicious!! We stayed in the 2 bedroom Villa and loved the space! No complaints and we would book the same Villa again. My kids are all old enough that I didn't need the Explorer's Club but man how I wish I would have known about this resort when my kids were younger! We have been to many resorts that say they have a kids club, but this one was the best. We had our younger 3 go one night and the staff were awesome! They had so much fun and it's included in your stay, no hidden fees! I also loved seeing the staff out and about the resort with the kids during the day! The staff/child ratios were small, the staff was so friendly, happy, and energetic, they were seen swimming in the toddler pool area, interacting, and the kids were having a great time. This is not what I've experienced at other resorts. So if you have kids 3-12 and want a resort where you can have kid free time and know they are also having fun, this is a great place to go! My only warning, and this is out of the control of Dreams, the ocean water is rough. The waves are a blast to play in, but the current is strong. So be cautious and know your limits. We saw a water rescue on our last day. The lifeguard spotted a woman in trouble and he was amazing getting to her and he did rescue her, but the tide quickly swept her out. If you are hesitant to book based on other reviews, don't be. The people at this resort stand out and you will have a lovely visit. We are already planning when we will go back!

    Amazing Vacation!!

    We just checked out of Dreams Macao after spending 7 nights there for a family vacation, and I honestly have nothing but amazing things to say. The resort was beautiful, super clean, and the food was great, but what really made our week so special was the Kids Club and Entertainment staff. Queen, Candy, Moana, Cuteness, and Rainbow at the Kids Club were all amazing with our kids. And a huge special shout-out to Medallia (Baby Face) from the Entertainment Crew, he truly made the trip 100x better for our kids. They absolutely loved him! The resort is so lucky to have him as part of their team. We will definitely be back, all thanks to the incredible people who made our trip so memorable!

    Wonderful family holiday

    I was pleasantly surprised, the food choice is amazing and this hotel is brilliant for families however, if like me you prefer a quieter atmosphere during the day there is a quieter pool to relax at. the entertainment is great and the hotel is spotless.

    Least favourite dreams resort in Punta Cana

    This was our 5th Punta Cana dreams resort with our family of 6. We have loved them each so much that we were excited to go to Macao beach. We were sadly underwhelmed by our stay. The beach is beyond beautiful but the seating is very far from the water. We did have preferred status but did not use the preferred beach area as it was even further from the water. We stayed in a 2 bedroom villa which was lovely and clean and we enjoyed. The pool is not the large pool of the other dreams resorts with so much seating. The main pool is so small that there are very few chairs actually around the pool and they are instead stacked 3 rows deep. There are few ocean views in the resort. Only one restaurant overlooks the main pool. And only from the main pool can you see the beach. Everywhere else at the resort is closed off from the view. There do not seem to be near enough bathrooms by the pools. Between the 3 pools (main pool and 2 preferred pools) I believe there are 6 toilets. The staff were friendly and the food was good. The resort was clean. The beach was gorgeous (though quite rough for young kids - great for bigger kids). Overall, maybe we’d have loved it if we hadn’t been to the 4 previous resorts with such great experiences. As is, I’d recommend another dreams resort.
