Dec 28, 2025Need to improve food quality
Overall nice resort and good family entertainment. The food was extremely disappointing especially at the Japanese restaurant it’s inedible! Not worth the money! The water in the outdoor hot tub is not “hot”! It’s just warm water!

Dec 21, 2025Dreams Vallarta Bay is a 10/10 Experience!
My wife and I were married at Dreams Vallarta Bay and returned this year for our honeymoon. The staff are kind, helpful, and always have time for a conversation. When my wife fell temporarily ill, the resort staff went out of their way to ensure she received the best care available. The property is beautiful and clean, and the food and drinks are amazing, but the true magic at this resort are all of the amazing staff that made our experience perfect. We can't wait to return!

Dec 20, 2025Aggressive sales tactics, unsanitary rooms
We came to Dreams Vallarta Bay with high expectations given the excellent reviews and prior experience with Hyatt resorts. Unfortunately Dreams Vallarta Bay was quite a disaster. BEWARE! 1. We were immediately met with an aggressive sales rep (Alan) selling us on additional services and purchases. After we repeatedly declined the offers, he continued to ask us to "get a time on the books" to discuss further. We finally escaped him, but the sales tactics continued the next day! We were approached on the way to the gym and cornered for 20 minutes regarding additional services. Aggressive, embarrassing, and unacceptable. 2. Where do I even begin with the room. First, the room smelled like mildew which thankfully improved with leaving the balcony door open 24/7. Second, the toilet didn't flush, one sink didn't drain, and the shower leaked water throughout the bathroom. The staff were very helpful in coming to fix the toilet and attach a rubber gasket to the shower door (why wasn't that already in place?) and fix the sink. But later, the toilet began leaking water on the bathroom floor. It's unclear if this was wastewater and certainly was a hygiene/safety risk. 3. Finally, the food is overall good, but the breakfast buffet has expired (and in one case, moldy) yogurt. Overall, we were extremely disappointed after having stayed in many Hyatt properties. We'll be looking elsewhere next time we're in Puerto Vallarta.

Great entertainment- Joel
Hotel room and swim up pool was great! Wish there was more service at our swim up but still great! Entertainment was amazing. Joel is so fun and really knows how to include everyone! So funny. Elevators were slow again this year but helped being on the 1st floor. Bartenders at the swim up bar are not very friendly. We love Hugo, our waiter in pool area!
