There’s something for everyone!
There’s something for everyone! I don’t usually write long reviews, but this resort is worth the praise! There’s something for everyone! BEACH: It’s a large beach with nice sandy bottom water and they had very good seaweed control. If you like to sit at the beach, there are plenty of nice chairs with or without shade. If you like to do beach activities like volleyball, paddle boarding, kayaking, or beach yoga, they have it! POOLS: There are several different pool options throughout the resort. If you like a party pool with music and occasional games, they have it at the bar pool. If you like to lay out in a quiet area by the pool, they have a nice more secluded infiniti pool. If you like to have something in between, they have a “lazy river” that runs through the resort. If you have kids, they have a kid zone with slides and splash pad. Since we had our teens, I appreciated the kids areas being apart from the rest of the pools. FOOD: We tried all the restaurants and the steakhouse and Asian were our favorites. 5 star ratings! The buffet is nice for breakfast and lunch with a ton of options and a lot of great food. ROOMS: We had a joined 2 room suite, so the kids had a separate room with 2 full beds and a bathroom and we had a king room with bathroom. VERY clean, replenishing towels and water bottles and making beds each day. The whole resort is very clean! ACTIVITIES: We loved playing pickleball and using the gym. The nightly shows were nice to have entertainment and not have to leave the resort. Most of the shows were very good. We only left the resort to snorkel one day. We were not preferred and didn’t feel like we missed out on anything. I don’t usually like to repeat a vacation, but I would definitely go back to Dreams Punta Cana!

Jul 07, 2025Great for families!
Beautiful, well kept grounds with plenty of activities for families. We LOVED the water park and the infinity/grotto pool. Food is plentiful and variable but the quality and flavor leaves much to be desired. Not horrible, just not great. Expect to be on island time during food and drink service...nothing arrives quickly. Beach is clean and beautiful but LOTS and LOTS of seaweed. We kept our swimming to the pools and snorkeling off a party boat excursion we found right off the beach. All in all we had a fantastic vacation and would definitely recommend this resort to friends and family!

Jul 06, 2025A Beautiful Resort with a Few Drawbacks
We recently stayed at this resort in room 6126 and were truly impressed by several standout features. The sand was gorgeous, and the rooms were incredibly spacious, with comfortable beds and plush pillows that made it easy to relax. One of our favorite parts was being able to step right out of our patio and into a lazy river—such a fun and convenient touch. The pools were fantastic, and the overall resort grounds were beautifully maintained. The entertainment staff by the pool kept the energy up, and our concierge, Marcel, was outstanding. He went above and beyond—booking our reservations, tracking down floats, and even resolving maintenance issues that I had been trying to fix for two days. Marcel had everything sorted in just one afternoon. Despite the resort being 95% booked, it never felt overcrowded. Transportation around the property was smooth, and Louis, the crazy golf cart driver, definitely added a fun twist to our rides. The buffet also exceeded our expectations with a good variety and quality of food. That said, there were a few disappointments. Room design lacked functionality—only two hooks, limited outlets, and minimal storage. Even in the newer preferred rooms, we experienced a broken front and back door lock, a non-working phone, and noisy sinks. Communication was a frequent challenge, as many staff members spoke little English, which led to some frustrating miscommunications. The specialty restaurants were underwhelming, with limited menus, bland food, and repeated issues with incorrect or missing orders. Bartender quality varied—some made consistently great drinks, others didn’t seem to make the same drink the same way twice. Evening entertainment was also disappointing. The shows were mediocre, (other than the rock and 4th of July show, which were really good) and the casino was small—with a broken air conditioner on multiple nights and dealers who often made mistakes. The dance club was mostly empty, and there wasn’t much to do for 20-somethings after 9 p.m., which left the nights feeling uneventful for younger guests. Our biggest letdown was the beach. It was covered in seaweed, the water was cloudy, and it wasn’t even appealing to swim in. On top of that, every visit to the beach involved being approached multiple times by vendors trying to sell us things or take paid photos. They left after a few declines, but it was a constant interruption. Overall, this resort offers beautiful grounds, great pools, and relaxing accommodations, but it falls short in areas like room functionality, service consistency, nightlife, and beach maintenance. With some improvements, it could be an excellent vacation spot.

Resort was great - EXCEPT food/food service
Facilities were clean and well maintained, concierge and bar staff were phenomenal - but the food quality was subpar at best. One step below snack bar grade, not international resort grade. The inefficiency and inaccuracy of the food service failed to make up for it. Wait times from ordering until the usually wrong order was placed on the table ranged from 1-2 hours causing us to miss shows and events, and when it was brought up to the restaurant management - they were completely indifferent. The rest of the resort was excellent, so I don’t understand why they abandoned any effort at such an important piece of a vacation.
