Jun 30, 2025Worst resort I’ve ever been to
Let me start off by saying I traveled to Mexico multiple times a year and I always stay at all inclusive resorts. I have never had a bad experience until this trip. It being a Hyatt hotel I expected so much more. The check-in process was awful once we got up to our room our bags took an hour and a half to get to us. It took two phone calls and me going down there myself to remind them. We needed our bags. The food… One of my favorite things about an all-inclusive resort is eating. Usually the food is so good. Here the food is barely edible and 9 times out of 10 cold. The only good meal I had the entire trip was at the Mexican restaurant. The food was hot there and the service was great. Every other restaurant was awful. The room service was worse than cafeteria food. The beach does not look like the photos on the website. There were red flags in the water the entire trip and there are huge rocks in the water that make it difficult to even walk. The water is not blue like the photos either and there is barely any sand. The nightly entertainment was awful as well. I will say that the staff is very kind and always so warm. I have no other positive things I can say. I will NOT be returning.

We had a great time! Very clean and very friendly staff! A couple upgrades to the rooms, the dinner menus, and the main pool would make it a 10 out of 10!

I would recommend
Our stay at Dream Sands was amazing. It was my family’s first time staying at an all inclusive resort and it did not disappoint. The food was amazing, the room was always freshly stocked and clean, and the nightly entertainment was great! The staff were also very friendly. Side note, Jhandi on the staff was especially great. He served us drinks by the pool and we didn’t ever go without because he was on top of it! We will be back.
