“NO HOT WATER!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed February 15, 2013

Vacationed at the Dreams Punta Cana January 26 to February 02 2013. We had NO HOT WATER all week long. Informed the front desk at least 4 or 5 times and was told “we’re working on it” or “we’ll send a repairman out right away”. Absolutely nothing was done. Told we could upgrade to another room for an additional $75. a night. Why should we pay to upgrade when hot water should be included in your stay? It’s extremely uncomfortable taking a COLD shower while trying to remove suntan lotion and sand.
Aside from the fact, the food was mediocre at best. The Portofino is the only restaurant worth mentioning for a hot decent meal.
No top shelf liquor.
Stayed in a deluxe room which needed a total upgrade, especially the bathroom. Falling ceiling tiles, tub was painted white and chipping, loose ceiling tiles, mold etc. etc.
Last year we stayed at the Secrets Capri in the Mayan Riviera which is also a 6 gold apple and there’s absolutely NO comparison to Dreams Punta Cana. Secrets Capri was both relaxing and beautiful. A true dream vacation. Dreams Punta Cana was a nightmare!

Stayed January 2013, traveled as a couple

“Everything Great, Except...”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 14, 2013

Really, really thought the resort was good. The food was excellent, especially at the a la carte restaurants, that required no pre-booking. All the bars were great, drinks fine...beach and pool service was really good. The room we had was a ground floor facing the pool (not swim-out). It was fine, very clean and everything worked. Our only criticism of the place was the swimming. The pool was too shallow to do any serious swimming, and it was also quite cold (mid-January). The roped off swimming area at the beach was not particularly safe, with lot's of sandy 'ledges' making the depth change suddenly and drastically. We felt very unsafe because the waves were huge with very, very strong under tows. This is definitely not a safe swimming area for families with children. Each and every day of our 1 week vacation was a red flag day. We will have to choose somewhere else next time, in order to enjoy the ocean.

Dear Guest

Greetings from Dreams Punta Cana. We are very happy that you took the time to post your comments and we are glad to see that we met your expectations.

As for the beach we know that the sea as been a little agitated during your stay and by having a natural beach sand does get pulled away in some places. Also if you noticed our beach board we have one part that is not allowed for swimming since we have a rocky coral formation with sea life.

Thanks again for your comments and do not hesitate in contacting me before your next visit.

“stay at dreams punta cana dominican republic”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 11, 2013

I just returned from Dreams Resort and Spa in Punta Cana. It was one of the best vacations I have ever gone on. The resort was beautiful, the food was great and gthe staff was the most courteous I have ever seen. The shows at night were great. I would certainly recommend this resort to anyone. The way they laid out the pool area was fantastic

Room Tip: get a room on the first floor in bldg 3 or 4

“Dreams was a Dream!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 11, 2013

I just got back from spending a week there with my boyfriend. We attended our friends wedding while we were there. Compared to other hotels we have stayed at (Mexico, Cuba) this was by far the best. Things we loved:
- The pool. It is huge and there are tons of lounge chairs. Yes, sometimes it was hard to get one but we always ended up with one.
- The food. There was so many restaurants to choose from and all of the food was delicious. The world buffet was extremely impressive- tons of choices beautifully presented.
- The beach. Beautiful. Our friends got married on the beach and it was the most perfect backdrop. Loved it!
- The staff. I read some reviews on here about how people felt the staff were disappointing. We never felt this way, They were so friendly and polite, and to everything you ask for they respond `my pleasure`. We were very impressed. The entertainment staff was also great, we had lots of fun with them!
Overall, we were 100% satisfied with our vacation at Dreams, and I would not hesitate to go back.

“We had our dream wedding at Dreams!!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 10, 2013

My husband and I just got back from our 10 night stay at Dreams, which included our wedding and honeymoon! We had 10 people travel with us and everyone had an amazing trip!! I cannot say enough about the resort and staff. They all went above and beyond to make sure us, and our guests were comfortable and having a great time!

Food- absolutely amazing everywhere we went. Make sure you try all the restaurants!! The portions are a bit small but soooo yummy. So just order more if your still hungry :) Drinks were always made to order and we were never disappointed. All bartenders had the best attitudes and if they didn't have a type of liquor we were asking for they went to another bar to get it for us!!
All bartenders and wait staff rocked!!!
Rooms- very comfortable and clean! We had guests in buildings 4, 7, and 9 and no one had any complaints. The honeymoon suits were spectacular. PS beds are super comfy, not the usual hard beds.
Staff- THE BEST!!!!! everywhere we went the staff was saying hello, how are you, and EXCELLENTE! :) The workers, entertainment, and wedding staff, you name it they were great!!
Hotel grounds- Perfect!! Cannot say one bad thing. They are definitely NOT run down. I cannot understand how people can say this. Everywhere is gorgeous and super clean!! PS.. flamingos and peacocks roaming the grounds!!! so cool :)

We had our wedding in the gazebo which was breath taking! Our reception was in the portofino terrace and every staff member went ABOVE all of our expectations. Our wedding coordinator was Deyanira and I cannot say enough good things about her! If you plan on having your wedding here I highly suggest you ask for her :) She did more than what we asked for and made sure everything went perfect from beginning to end!

All in all, we had the most amazing trip, and my husband and I have been to many all- inclusive resorts, 5 being in punta cana. DREAMS is the place to go!!! :)

Room Tip: We loved our honeymoon suite in building 7, 3rd floor! Very quiet, AC worked great, and amazing view...
