Buyer beware. Slipperly floors and they take no responsibility
Realized I did not finish this. But wanted to give others my perspective. I feel some of the property is a bit older and dated. The chair and table on the balcony is a prime example. They do a good job with maintenance and there are some great amenities as well. The biggest issue we had was a problem in our room where the air conditioning was not pulling humidty and my wife slipped and fell. Later on I slipped and fell in the hall. It did affect our trip as her mobility was limited and the hotel checked her out but really did not do much beyond that. Big negative for me. The pool area was nice, we stayed at the VIP pool as it was less crowded and not a party scene as the main pool. The pina colada were great and it was relaxing looking over the ocean. The highlight of the trip was wildlife. There was a momma sloth and baby just outside our unit and one of the workers who also coordinated the turtle release was beyond helpful. He climbed a tree to take a picture of the mother. He stayed far enough away so as not to disturb them which I appreciated as other tours in Panama did not seem to respect wildlife like he did. Now for the food. Breakfast We did the buffet as it was fine and had many options. Lunch I felt it was weak. the buffet food was not that great, the hamburger option was OK, but they were a bit dry. Dinner That was the highlight. Did not feel the italian restaurant was special. Lack of flavor and overcooked. The french restaurant was excellent. From the appetizer, to the side dishes to the sauces, it was very good. The fish restaurant was also very good although it was not open every night. My final rating I would put the resort a 3 or so, due to the ocean, pool and drinks, and food. Almost a 4 for me. The wildlife and those helping are an easy 5 star. They are top of the line. But the lack of anything when we were injured due to their negligence drops the rating to a 2.

Always pleased
We always enjoy our time at Dreams. There is still room for improvement, but it is an excellent getaway, and we prefer it to other nearby options.

Archery and batting cages
Archery and batting cages with Eliceo and Yanizeth was so fun! They were both so sweet and patient with us and our five year old. Eliceo was a great archery teacher. I think I have a new hobby!
