My husband and I were at Dreams from 9-21-07 thru 9-29-07. During that time, we were treated like royalty. Everyone there was so nice and accommodating. I had read bad reviews on this property, however, we experienced nothing but the best. Our accommodations were wonderful, the staff was friendly and helpful and always ready to assist you in any way. If anyone stays at Dreams and has a bad experience, I feel that they are not able to be pleased anywhere.

My husband and I travel extensively and have not found any property more outstanding. The rooms were well taken care of as they were cleaned twice a day. The beds were turned down at night.

Our hats off to the general manager and his staff. A special thanks to Jean Louis Magron, resident manager, for his kindness. Also the entertainment staff was wonderful.

This was our 10th anniversary trip, as well as a 50th birthday for some friends who went with us. The resort had a beautiful birthday cake to present to our friend and also they decorated our room one night for our anniversary.

All in all, I would absolutely recommend this property to anyone. Again, if you have a bad experience, it is your own fault. I can't image anyone at that hotel being ugly or not willing to help their guests. We will DEFINITELY be back!

Thanks again so much to Dreams Los Cabos and their staff!!

We stayed at Dreams for a quick honeymoon getaway after our wedding. We were there from Sept. 23-30th. For an all inclusive, this is upscale. There were mostly buffets for breakfast, but the food was good, and you can order something to be prepared if you like. I am a vegetarian, and the Oceana prepared cheese enchillada's for our romantic dinner there- even though El Patio, the Mexican restaurant was closed for remodeling.
The dissapointments: no fan in the bathroom-- the mirror steams up quickly, so we left the door open.
The restaurant being closed without any notice to us prior.
Chairs hard to come by at the pool.
Not a huge selection of vegetarian food.
We were suppose to get a Honeymooners banner on our door, and didn't (minor, but it would have been nice)
Maid service was okay (even with daily tips)
No one seemed to know we were honeymooners even though we let them know prior to arrival, we were suppose to receive some extras and an upgrade and didn't get it.
The wine selection in the all inclusive package is so/ so.
Sort of pricey.
The entertainment is pretty much the same during the afternoon, but evening is different and enjoyable.
If you go golfing at Cabo Real- take bug spray for the first 9!
The good points: the beds are comfortable, the rooms are nice and our room had a breathtaking view.
There are several restaurants offering food from a menu, and not just the same, old, boring all inclusive atmosphere.
The people are very friendly, and I am now expecting my husband to say, "It's my pleasure" all the time!
Portofino has decent italian.
It is smaller, which we liked, and the kids weren't too annoying.
Everyone tried to be very accomodating and the drinks were strong!
Please- tip the bartenders- they work hard and DESERVE IT!
The best part was the lobby bar- Rendesvous, which we wish we would have went to from first day- Victor, Pepe, Moises, Everado and Pedro are the best! They made our trip relaxing, fun and enjoyable. We may or may not return, if we get a better deal than we did this time, then we'll go to relax, for the views and for the great service, especially from the Rendevoux amigos!

My wife and I chose Dreams Los Cabos for our honeymoon, based a lot on Trip Advisor and other people I spoke with. We are both well traveled, however we usually don't opt for all inclusive as we are more on the adventurous side. I spoke with a travel agent briefly, but in the end, decided to do my own research and booking. I'm so glad I did. I booked our room for 6 nights directly through the Dreams' website. After about 3 weeks, I went back in to recheck the price and to my surprise, it had gone down over $1000 dollars. I immediately called and was able to rebook at the reduced rate. I have no doubt that a travel agent wouldn't have looked twice after making the booking. After you book your trip, I would check back often for price changes as they tend to fluctuate a lot and often. In several reviews on Trip Advisor, it recommended asking for a room on the highest floor (6th floor) - I'm glad we did. Cathedral ceilings and excellent views. We slept with the sliding deck doors open every night and the music and noise from below was never too loud.

The pools, bars, and common areas were pleasant and relaxing - the food -- only okay. They were renovating one restaurant, so they were down to four. We tried them all and quickly decided the asian restaurant was our favorite and we went there most - both big sushi fans.

My wife used the spa for massage and facial and was very impressed. The only real excursion we did was to charter a fishing boat for just the two of us. I highly, highly recommend this. For a little over $400, we had the boat to ourselves with the crew and were able to catch lots and lots of fish - dorado (mahi mahi), tuna, wahoo, and of course, marlin - we had a blast and was the highlight of my trip. You don't have to go out very far and even those with weak stomachs should be able to handle it okay.

We did received the honeymoon package we requested - sign on door, flower petals on bed, soft music, candles, and bottle of champaigne on ice - very nice. The staff was nice and attentive - both during meals and poolside.

Overall, we were both very happy with our trip. For true relaxation and to have everything at your fingertips - this was just what we needed.

Overall, Dreams is a very nice resort. We were there from 9/16/07 – 9/20/07. There was 5 of us total, me, my husband (who is confined to a wheelchair), my parents, and my 8-year old sister.

Airport/Transportation: We came in from LAX to Cabo via American Airlines - that was a nice short 2-hour flight. At the Cabo Airport, passengers are unloaded via the tarmac, not via a jet bridge. Since my husband is in a wheelchair, they physically carried him down he stairs via the isle chair. He was very uncomfortable with that, as they told us they would have the wheelchair stairs/ramp for him in Cabo and they did not – on the arrival or departure flight. Customs through the Cabo airport was a little slow, but not too bad. The timeshare people really try to convince you that they are there to help you find your transportation, but I just kept saying no thank you and went directly outside. We used Charters Mexico - Transcabo for transportation from the airport to Dreams resort and back. They are a great transportation company. They were waiting right outside the doors in their orange shirts holding a sign with our name on it. It was a nice new wheelchair accessible van and they offered us nice ice-cold bottles of water. The van was plenty big enough to fit all of us and all our luggage. The only downside to the van was the manual portable folding ramp they used to get my husband/wheelchair in and out of the van, as it was not a solid/flat ramp – it was checkered style bars, but the squares were not filled in so he could not independently roll on the ramp – it required two people to assist him by slightly lifting him to avoid his front caster wheels from slipping into the holes/not filled squares. But, I was still impressed that we were able to find a wheelchair accessible van in Mexico.

Check-In and Rooms: When we arrived at Dreams, we were approached by the bellman and given nice cold hand towels. They had ramps for wheelchairs, but it was a little slippery due to the type of paint sprayed on the ramp itself. Check in was nice and easy and we were offered cookies, fruit and a glass of champagne. We arrived around 2:45 PM and our room was ready, but my parent’s room was not until about 3:15. Our room was room 217, a ground floor junior suite with two double beds near the main pool. It was a nice size room with a separate sitting area and nice size porch with two chars and a small side table. It also had a nice sized roll in shower that was perfect for my husband. The room had a refrigerator with soda, water, and beer. The refrigerator was never restocked the entire time we were there. The TV was pretty outdated and the volume goes up and down. The beds were pretty hard. My parent’s room was room 517, a Luxury 1 BR Suite. Their room was very nice with 2 bathrooms, one with a nice tub and the other with a huge shower. It has a separate living room with a coach and TV, a bigger refrigerator and a bar, a microwave, a sink, a kitchen table with four chairs, a bedroom with two double beds and a sitting area with couch. It had a huge balcony that you can enter from the living room and bedroom. Rooms had maid service earlier in the day and turn down service in the evening. Our travel agent noted that we were celebrating our anniversary. They brought fruit and champagne to our room when we arrived. They also decorated our room beautifully on the first night. They put a happy anniversary banner on our room door, put candles on the floor to light up the hallway to the bed, candles on the side table, red rose pedals on the bed with swan towel animals, and had nice romantic music playing as we entered the room w/ the lights all dimmed.

Entertainment: Each night they put flyers in the rooms with the next days activities, dining options, and weather forecast. The first night entertainment was Karaoke, the next night was Monday night football on the big screen on the beach with a BBQ, the third night was the Stargazing Rock n’ Roll Party with a live band with music and dancing on the beach, and our last night was Latin night with a short Latin show with some vending tents and dinner via El Patio. They also had daily activities just about every hour each day. Beach volleyball, water volleyball, ping pong, horse shoes, beach walks, tequila tasting, water aerobics, bungee jumping, nightly live music, etc.

Food/Drinks: Well, this is the only reason I did not mark Dreams with 5-stars. The food really was not that good. The food in the pool area was always good, Oceana was real good and room service was pretty good, but Portofino’s, Himitsu, and the Seaside Grill was just not very good. The El Patio was closed during our stay. Whenever we placed an order and asked for no sauce on a steak or no tomatoes on a sandwich, it always came exactly as the menu described it and never the way we requested it. It seemed like they tried to add things to the food to make it sound or taste fancy, but it really did not go good together. It seemed like they made a good effort to make it different and tasty, but unfortunately it did not. Most of the food taste like frozen, mass produced food all dressed up. The hamburgers and hotdogs from the beachside bar were good, but you pretty much make them yourself. At all the restaurants, they seat you outside (Oceana only has outdoor seating) and you are immediately annoyed by the nasty flies. If you ask to be seated inside at Portofino’s, it’s usually set up for larger parties or tables of two. Portofino’s has a buffet each day, but they set it up outside and there are flies all over the food. We had dinner at Portofino’s one night and we could not eat because of the flies. We noticed it was always hard to get a second cup of coffee at any of the restaurants for some reason. Drinks at any of the bars are served in plastic cups. For us, we had a difficult time enjoying our drinks in older plastic cups. It’s the plastic tumbler type of glasses. It just taste different in plastic and drinks don’t stay cold long in the plastic cups. The lobby bar serves drinks in glasses after 8:00 each night. The drinks are not strong at all. The taste real good, but have very little alcohol. We ever we ordered a mixed drink, we always ordered with an extra shot. We felt like we drank a lot, but never got a nice buzz.

Service/Grounds/Pool: The service was usually pretty amazing. Elsa and Pedro in the pool area were great. Moises and Natividad at the lobby bar were amazing as well. There were always people cleaning, everyone was very friendly and attentive, and always smiling. The resort itself has a very nice layout. The resort was pretty wheelchair accessible and had ramps to all the common areas, pool area, restaurants, etc. The main pool was nice and big. We never used the swim-up bar because it was always pretty busy and the wait staff was very good anyway. There were never enough of the blue pool floaters. People usually held onto them once they got them. They would take them out of the pool, roll them up and stick them under their lounge chairs. It sucked because others could not use them when they did that and went off to each lunch. As usual, people come and put towels and newspapers on the good pool chairs real early. The pool wait staff would try and notice if people were not around and have others use them.

Explorer/Kids Club: We took my lil’ sister to the explorer/kids club, but because of the time of year we were there, it was very slow and she was the only kid in the place. They do have a good program for the kids with pagers for the parents. They have hourly activities and she really enjoyed it that day.

Overall, it was a great vacation. It was still pretty hot that week, 95-98 all week and the humidity was pretty high as well. Dreams did as much as they could to make people feel comfortable. Everyone was always nice and pleasant. I would definitely try another Dreams resort. I would recommend this resort to others, but if you are really into amazing food and wine, you may be a little disappointed.
