    All inclusive to the max!!!

    Wonderful time was had by all!! Took our kids and grand children here as a Christmas present and all eight of us (6 adults, 2 children) had a great experience! The beach was pristine white with sugary sand. You can walk 80 feet into the ocean to the floating border and still touch (I'm 6ft) so that is a huge ocean area for both small children and adults. Alexander the beach manager will take excellent care of you along with his attentive wait staff and every Dreams employee's friendly mannerism. The rooms were always kept clean and were very comfortable. Jayne our housekeeper was always on target. Live entertainment day and night, super clean pools and sand free walkways. They are always being swept. The food was terrific and the drinks were perfect. If you are looking for a safe, clean, friendly resort to take your family or just your significant other to this is the place to go for a full relax and recharge. You defiantly will not be disappointed!

    Okish stay at dream sand resort

    Overall resort was nice and the vibes were good. However, very limited food options and poor airport transport service made our whole trip average/above average. Hire Amstar on Dream Sand Resort recommendation and the driver took our items in rush. Do not bother to use any service recommended by Dream Sand Resort

    All in all a very nice stay. We will return

    We had a Premium Ocean Front King with Balcony Room was spacious, the mattress was firm and nice to sleep on. There was an option to select different pillows if the ones in the room were not satisfactory. Bathroom was a bit on the small side; it was a bit cramped around the sink area. Beach was beautiful. It was a soft sandy beach; shallow warm water in which you can walk out quite far. Service staff around the beach were fantastic. Shout out to Ricardo, who remembered us each day and made us feel welcome and at home. Favio who always had a smile. Gerson who helped us make special dinner reservations. Jorge in the buffet restaurant who made each breakfast something special. The buffet had different selections each day. The Asian restaurant was fantastic, the Grill was very nice and the Italian restaurant had wonderful ravioli. All in all a very nice stay. We will return

    Thanksgiving Vacation

    I stayed at Dream Sands during Thanksgiving week, along with pretty much my entire extended family. We decided to skip the average Thanksgiving day and do it up in Mexico, and this resort did not disappoint! have stayed at many all inclusive resorts and this one definitely has the most incredible service! Every single staff member goes above and beyond to cater to your every need. The entertainment team is so engaging and really makes an effort to get everyone involved without being overbearing. Melissa in particular was incredibly kind, engaging and just so sweet! The food is VERY good, the speciality restaurants are delicious and you don’t even need a reservation, with the exception of hibachi. The beach is absolutely GORGEOUS, the most incredible beach I have ever seen and the best part about it is that it is literally steps away from the elevator when you come down from your room! I did stay here with my Uncle’s preferred club membership , which in my eyes is SO worth it! You’re given access to an exclusive part of the beach and pool ( food is more gourmet- example- octopus and salmon ceviche, seafood tacos etc.), access to exclusive breakfast options and a lounge that again offers more gourmet food and top shelf liquor. The resort on its own is top notch, but if you add the preferred membership it’s truly impossible not to have an incredible time!
