  Disappointed Family Trip

  We were not been pleased with anything except the view from the room and we had a room near our kids - the food is mediocre at best and when we wanted to try something different we were told a restaurant was closed for the day or my son was not old enough to go, the alcohol is terrible, the rooms smell old and musty, the beds are so hard they hurt our backs and I was not been able to sleep very well, the pillows are dense and deformed and when I requested a different pillow I was brought small memory foam type ones, the bathrooms are dangerous for going into at night with lights out because of the layout and our mini bar did not get restocked even after being requested and that is just some of our negative experience.

  The best weight staff ever at the carnival buffet

  Hello, my name is Christine Williams. My husband and I came for our anniversary. We actually stayed at the secret.. we had dinner every night at dreams the weight staff, the waiters Ernesto. He helped me get a bag of ice for my knee when it was so swollen. The white staff was amazing. Oh my God every one of them they make sure you had everything you needed. We have the best time with them. We will go later in the evening and talk with all of them. They were Share stories of their island and where to go. They were the best.. the food was good. The service was the best. I’m sorry we didn’t have all the names as we packed your names away but all the night waiters at the dreams buffet thank you thank you thank you and thank you for getting the ice for my knee. we are so humbled by all of you and we will be back. It was truly the White staff at this restaurant that kept us coming back. Thank you Danny and Christine Williams.

  Timeshare ripoff

  We stayed at Dreams. We have an all adult family. We went to the beach at the sister hotel, Secrets. They tried to sell us on the $50 per room “VIP” timeshare card. After getting 3 different stories from workers, they made us move back to the kid side. They advertise all of the restaurants and pools but you have to pay to have access. This place is priced like a luxury resort but prepare to be harassed and nickel and dimed. It’s not worth the price.

  Won’t be going back

  For context: we are a late 30s couple who needed a vacay to get away from stressful jobs. We chose Dreams because we read Secrets was a senior citizen center. Secrets is where you should go unless you want to hear children screaming at all hours of the day/night. It was filled with couples of all ages. If you’re looking for a place with cool vibes, go elsewhere. The food at the resorts (both Dreams and Secrets) was bad. We liked the ceviche and tuna tar tar by the pool, and the Sushi place at Secrets. The breakfast at Secrets was OK. The breakfast at the dreams was terrible. The staff was nice but it just looked cheap and gross. I was shocked at how bad the food was. I’ve stayed at all inclusive resorts in Cabo and never felt like the food was gross or questionable. I am disappointed that I paid so much money for an all inclusive that has such bad food as my vacation for the year. When we switched to the Secrets side we ended up paying even more. We decided we had to do that or we were just gonna cancel and lose our money and book elsewhere. Noemi our butler was the highlight of the trip. She helped with reservations and places to dine outside of the resort. She was very attentive and communicative. Diego by the pool at Secrets was absolutely amazing! We sat in his section on the first day and made the mistake of trying other sections for two other days. Again when we went back to his section on day four I was amazed by his constant service, he would recommend new drinks for us to try and would just go above and beyond to ensure we were taken care of. Armando, Veronica, and two other women who helped with activities each day made our days by the pool at Secrets filled with laughter and smiles! Orlando who makes the crepes was also fantastic. So kind and always had a smile on his face. The sushi restaurant (which is just to-go sushi) was the best food we got. The check in for preferred was great. They also show you a „bar” online which is just a business center with a small bar. Nothing special and no vibe. Was nice to grab another drink in our building at night though. While a bit outdated and typical for large resorts, I was overall happy with the room and how spacious it was. The food was bad though so maybe if you want to just drink your all inclusive and eat elsewhere this is an option for you

  Family vaca June ‘25

  Love this resort and would definitely come back! Great food at the restaurants ~ we ate at Castaways, Japanese, and Italian. Impeccable service at all with great attention to detail. Plenty of seating around pool (don’t have to go early to reserve spots), pool bar gets a little crowded in the afternoon when all the drinkers are there but a really nice vibe in the morning hours when it’s quieter with relaxing music. So nice to have the Barefoot grill to get food and snacks without having to get dressed and go into a restaurant. They come by frequently to refill drinks, so you are rarely without a cold beverage! Rooms are roomy and clean, beautiful views in front (city) and back (ocean). PV combines my two favorite things, mountains and beach ❤️
