My fiance and I chose this resort as our venue for our wedding. We brought 23 people to celebrate with us.
We enjoyed everything, especially the helpful and thoughtful service of our wedding coordinator, Carolina Guzman, the great a la carte restaurants, such as Bordoux and the Mexican Restaurant.
The ride to the resort is about 30-40 mins. long but it's not as bumpy as everyone made it sound like online. When we arrived, they welcomed us with chilled towels and champagne, as advertised, it was a great start to a great two weeks!
The actual service in the restaurants and bar is excellent. The maid service was also great...and always on time.
If anything went wrong, they acted quickly and executed the issue within a reasonable time frame.
The photographic team was great! They definitely have got talent! We LOVED our wedding pictures!!
Never went to spa except on the wedding day for my hair do and make up application. The spa is kept very clean and tranquil, with candles everywhere. The lady that did my hair, can't recall her name (was around her mid 30s) did a great job with my hair. It usually takes hair stylists 1.5 hrs. to do my hair here in Toronto, however, I only sat on the Dreams' spa chair for half an hour! My hair never faulted, and it looked lovely.

For those that want to hear negatives, here they are:
-the tours and trips out of the resort a little pricy
-don't complain when your bathroom feels humid an hour after a shower: leave the fan on!
-on our second week there, we realized that all the evening shows are repeated! (however, they have REALLY good shows, such as the one called 'Dreams')
-the beach is not cleaned everyday.

After 2weeks all inclusive we were glad to get back to normal eating/drinking habits! This place is great....end of review. Remember these reviews are peoples own opinions of resort/staff,my advice is ignore ALL reviews (especially this one!) and go create your own views/memorys. In short if you can't relax and enjoy this place,check your pulse the chances are you're already dead!
Note to Mark...Wigan to be relegated!!!!

Hello everyone. My husband my 2 daughters (15 and 8) and I vacationed at dreams June 21-28th. This was the 1st Caribbean vacation for my 8 year old and 2nd for my 15 year old. I read reviews religiously online before the trip- good and bad (but mostly good) still I was ready for anything; well here it goes – arriving at the airport in Punta Cana was great- super simple- go through the gate, pay your $10 per person , gather you luggage and your off to your bus: the guys that help with your luggage are great, they know exactly where they are going, you tell them your tour operator and hotel, and they take you straight to your bus – give them a couple bucks and everyone is happy.( diffidently recommend grabbing one of these guys to help!) the ride to the hotel was fine, about one hour, not nearly as bad as reviews say- I actually enjoyed it and so did my kids. Once we arrived at dreams we were given a cold towel, which was very welcoming. We checked in with no problems except for our rooms weren’t ready (that was a little inconvenient because we all were very ancous to get in the room and relax from our long plane ride) but we ended up grabbing a bite to eat and we took a look around wile they finished. Our luggage was in our room when we arrived back to it-no worries. The grounds were beautiful- very well kept! The workers are constantly doing something to make things more beautiful. The pool is beyond beautiful- very clean, very well kept. We spent most of our days by the pool- pool floats are very hard to find, I would recommend going to the dollar store and buying a cheep raft to bring with you and just leave it there at the end of your trip. We had so much fun with the pool games at the middle pool area; my 15 year old daughter really loved them and got us all involved. The staff was wonderful, JayZ and TuPac were so much fun and made you so relaxed they made you feel like you were best friends and you knew them all your life. If you don’t want to play, they will not hound you, but if you do, you will really have a lot of fun!! My older daughter also really loved the core zone, she would go and see what was going on all the time, I was never nervous about letting her go by herself; I felt it was very safe. (And I am a little overbearing about safety) I was very comfortable with that. My younger daughter loved the Explorers Club, I cant say enough about this; before we went I wasn’t sure about leaving her with people I don’t know and ever she doesn’t like being away from me – but – oh my goodness- it is so organized and supervised that the first full day she was there all day and the next as well, we were finally saying to her “how about staying with us today?”. She had so much fun. When we dropped her off we got a pager and when she was ready to come back they would call us and we would go pick her up. These woman that were with the kids are great ! I highly recommend this club!
Onto our room- we had a first floor adjoining room in building 8. It was awesome- the maid service was great. Our room was always clean and if you need anything they are so quick to accommodate you! We had some ants by the coffee maker but nothing to complain about. The robe in the room was a nice touch, so if you don’t get on ask and they will get you one right away. They give you a newsletter every night for what’s going on the next day- it is really helpful to plan you day!
About the venders at the resort, they are not that bad, you just say no thank you- I found the vender on the beach under the boat was really great-check it out!
I do want to talk about calling home- regular calling cards or international calling cards are really hard to use- I could get mine to work. We ended up using our cell phone – because it works there, which I would not have thought. You are roaming, so you pay about $1.50-$2.00 per minute, but it is the easiest way to call home!
The food was excellent, every restaurant that we went to was great, not so much for my 8 year old to eat but she always found something. The barefoot grill was great for lunch. We didn’t have to wait for a table at any of the restaurants, no reservations made it really easy to eat at your convenience!
My husband took the girls on a horseback riding trip- we booked through our GO GO representative rather then the guys walking around the resort. They had a great time and the horses were very well behaved. Be sure to bring medicine for belly aches, we didn’t have any problems but people we met had a couple problems. (Don’t drink the water). Also be sure to take a lot of 1’s and 5’s for tipping, the staff, bartenders, food workers, maids and all the workers really appreciate anything that you give them, its always “ Their Pleasure” to do whatever makes you happy!
All in all our whole trip was fantastic. And my kids are already planning our trip back for next year. We will diffidently return here to dreams and recommend it to all our friends!
P.S. If the weather is rainy- don’t worry it always seemed to clear up and be beautiful weather by 12:00.

By far the best hotel we have ever stayed in.
Yeah the transfer is abit of a nightmare after such a long flight, but is defiantly worth the hour drive on uneven roads.
Upon pulling up to the hotel through the gates it looks spectacularly.
Check in ran smoothly and we were escorted to our room by the bell room.
We were lucky enough to have a ground floor room with massive four poster bed, large tv and dvd player, air con and an ipod docking station. Our patio doors opened up on a small patio area with table, chairs and a hammock, next was a step down to a grassy area with two sunbeds and straight access in to the large freeform pool.
The pool and the surrounding area are well maintained and very clean, the large meandering pool has a swim up bar to one end with an active area and plenty of floating beds, you wont have trouble finding sunbeds here!!|!
The beach is lovely, sand lovely and soft with plenty of non motorised watersports available, aswel as water trampoline.
We took the option of having a romantic meal on the beach as it was my birthday while we were staying here, this wasn’t part of the all inclusive but defiantly worth the splurge!!
The games zone is brilliant at keeps kids and big kids entertained alike, with an xbox, wii and playstation console. It also has plenty of pool tables, table tennis, tennis courts, rocking bull, archery and plenty more.
The restaurants have lots of choice and the food was always pippin hot, the buffet restaurant is just as good as the ala cart ones. The 6 ala cart restaurants have set menus that you choose from, all with plenty of choice. Our favourite was the French one. You can visit these restaurants as many times as you like and you don’t need to book in advance.
Drinks flow plenty with lots of choice, all international brands of sprits included, and room service is included in the all inclusive.
The entertainment in the evening is spectacular the shows that are put on by the entertainment team, you can see that they work very hard putting the shows together.
There is always something to do during the day in the form of daytime activities from bingo, to waterpolo.
We will defiantly be visiting this hotel again!!!!
