    Amazing resort in paradise!

    My family and I had a wonderful time at Dreams Macao Beach! It is a beautiful resort with plenty to do, especially for families. We spent most of our time at the beautiful beach, pool, or water park. The beach area is large, with plenty of lounge chairs. There is a separate area for preferred club members (we did not upgrade). There is also an adult only and family pool for preferred members. The other pool is very large, with a separate section for little kids. There were a lot of activities in and by this pool. It’s very lively and fun. My kids especially enjoyed the water park. There are 2 twisted slides and 5 straight slides. They were very fun. I believe you have to be about 4 feet tall to ride. The lazy river is nice too, with plenty of tubes. There are shows every night and little dance parties. The entertainment staff is great! The resort also has an arcade with bowling, but we didn’t experience it. It does cost additional money ($30 per person per day I believe). There’s also a rock climbing wall and zip line, owned by the same company as the arcade. We ate at 4 of the ala carte restaurants, El Patio, Portofino, Seaside Grill and Himitsu. They were all good, Portofino and Himitsu were our favorites. I especially enjoyed the lasagna and Portofino and California rolls ate beef and broccoli at Himitsu. There were plenty of options at the World Cafe for breakfast and lunch. They even have a kids corner (my daughter loved it!) and gluten free selection. The staff were wonderful at the resort. Check in and out was pretty quick. I accidentally left my phone on the airplane on the way to the resort. The concierge helped me find it and arranged for it to be picked up at the airport. Overall, we loved our time at Dreams Macao!

    Worth it! Pack your bags!

    Spent a week with my kids (16 & 11) in the Preferred Club and we had THE BEST TIME. The beach and ocean were breathtaking with soft golden sand and dramatic waves. It's not easy to swim there, but if you enjoy the beauty of the ocean and are happy to jump in the waves, it's ideal. To swim, we enjoyed the pools very much. The food was quite good, and we loved the Dreams Benedict at Oceana for brunch daily. But the real star is the wonderful service. Alejandro was our butler, and he took care of everything with a smile and checked in with me daily. The staff was amazingly friendly and helpful overall, especially J. Ventura, who is going to be a terrific butler someday, too.

    Great place for family and adults

    Our overall experience for this hotel is ok. We would recommend coming here as the food and drinks were amazing. The staff were friendly and helpful. There was lots to do for our kids in anyone of the pools (except adults only) and the explorers club-core zone had lots for them as well. The huge set of stairs is a climb after a day or drinking and lounging by the pool.

    Perfect vacation in January, excellent service

    Came here for a friend‘s wedding in January. The weather was perfect: sunny and warm. My boyfriend unfortunately sprained his ankle just before we left for our trip. However, the staff was completely accommodating and had a wheelchair and rolling walker available for him to use. Everyone at the resort was friendly and accommodating, especially at the restaurants and by the pools. Ligia and Oniel at the guest service counter were very patient and gave excellent customer service. The food was also fresh and delicious. Our room was very clean and comfortable. We had a good time celebrating a friend‘s wedding here. Wish I could have stayed longer to enjoy the weather and the amenities.
