    Its ok. Our Concierge was fantastic.

    This is our 15th-16th time in the DR. It is our favorite destination. The Good: The resort landscaping is absolutely beautiful. There is a pool surrounded by palms and bushes. Its stunning. The preferred club amenities are on par and the newer section is fantastic and quiet how we like it. They do not permit personal speakers at the pool. BEST DECISION EVER! The Bad: service is hit or miss. Friendliness is hit or miss. The Ugly: The food and dining arrangements are absolutely terrible compared to similar level resorts. You WILL wait 30-120minutes for a table for dinner. Theres no need for that. The negative reviews about the food by others is regretfully accurate. I always wait to see for myself, and yes, it was not good. The best part about our trip was our personal concierge, Yacaira. She was an absolute beast at her job and knew how to please her customers like the best Butlers we have had the pleasure of vacationing with. She literally took care of any need, desire, question, concern, etc. She is the best at that resort, and I highly recommend you specifically request her services.

    Perfect Family Travels

    Our family of 5 came to the dominican republic not really knowing what to expect. What we found was wonderful relaxation, excellent customer service, beautiful beaches and pools, and an all around fantastic vacation. We highly recommend the preferred club if you stay at Dreams Royal Beach, not because of the exclusive areas (which were nice) but for the personal concierge that meets you on arrival. From start to finish, our concierge took fantastic care of us, letting us know what was going on, answering any questions, and taking care of any needs that we had. We stayed for 5 nights and it was the perfect length for us. 3 days of beach and pools with one day of activities at the end of the week to spice things up. We went to the Marinarium through Amstar and had a fantastic time swimming with nurse sharks, Rays, and snorkeling over the reefs. Truly this was a memorable vacation and one we'd love to repeat in the future.

    Punta Cana Royal Beach

    Dreams Punta Cana is a family friendly resort. If you are looking for chill and are preferred stay on the chill new side. If your there for the music and excitement stay on the old side.

    We enjoyed our stay at Dreams Royal Beach.

    Over all, this was a nice trip for our family of six. Dreams was very clean, the staff very nice, and the entertainment was enjoyable. The food selection was quite good but the quality was average. However, our experience at the hibachi grill was super. If that is something you wish to experience, be sure to get your reservation the day you arrive as we booked it a day in and were only able to get a reservation for our last night of a 5 night stay. Our room was in the 5170s and I would suggest requesting either a different building or another floor in the 5100 building. This first floor hallway is very busy due to the immediate access to a bar, the main dinning areas, pool and beach access. As such, it was very noisy up until midnight. If you stay up late, no big deal. If you like to get to bed by or before 1000 PM, I would highly suggest a different room location. Also, the staff begins delivering carts to the restaurants around 0700, so early to rise as well. The room was very clean and well attended and stocked by staff our entire stay. All of the staff were great! Drinks were well mixed. The Preferred Club (PC) provided a few extras but may not be worth it to many. Access to the PC pool seemed to be open to anyone but was much quieter and had fewer people than the main area. The resort was sold out while we were there, yet did not feel crowded. Overall, quite nice and as expected with minor mentioned exceptions for the price point.

    Don’t wake me, I’m dreaming!

    If you visit Punta Cana, Dreams is the place for you. Beautiful resort, beautiful people, and beautiful ambience! Once you arrive, it’s a dream that you won’t to end.
