My fiance and I went to Dreams Los Cabos April 19-26 (along with 30 friends and family members who stayed here as well) and were married at the resort on the beach at sunset on April 22. This was the first trip to Cabo for both of us, as well as the vast majority of our group (all except 2).

I cannot say enough great things about the resort, the staff, and most of all the wedding. We were greeted on day 1 with champagne, and soon found that we had been upgraded to the Honeymoon Suite at no additional charge. Our room was ready when we checked in at noon, and we quickly came to love our two terraces only yards from the quiet pool with an incredible view. We did sit through the time share presentation the following morning so we could get discounts on golf, ATV tours, etc., but we were not pressured at all.

We had about a day and a half to ourselves before family and friends started arriving, and we just soaked up the rays and continuously told each other how great this place was. It seemed the entire staff knew we were the ones getting married and we were treated like royalty the entire trip and soon became known to everyone (staff and other guests/friends we made there) as 'Bride" and "Groom". It was great!

The service at the pool was very good, and the staff were all extremely nice and accommodating. This is also true for the entire staff at the resort. The food in all the restaurants was good...a little different than the Tex-Mex we are used to, but still very good. We only had to wait a short time for them to arrange for our large party to sit together at dinner.

The drinks were great and flowed all day and night (they had to keep restocking cold beer and we would have to wait a little while for it to chill, but that gave us a reason to drink something different). The bar on the beach is awesome, plays great music, and has great swings. The bartenders are very creative with serving us shots we had never heard of before, and were very generous with the alcohol!!! We stayed at this bar one entire day and had a blast (so much so that we missed our ATV tour!)!

The wedding could not have been any more perfect. Everything was set up exactly as we asked for it to be, and the ceremony itself was amazing with the waves crashing in the background. We also had a small reception on the beach for our family and friends, and I think this was by far the best food we had the entire trip, and the beer, champagne, margaritas and daquiris were flowing all too well!!! The photographer and videographer did an awesome job and we had our pics and video before we left to come home. A big kudos to Erika (our wedding coordinator at the resort) for helping us arrange everything.

Overall, our entire group that was with us had an incredibly great time, and we are planning a trip back there already for next year. I highly recommend this resort, and know that I will be back as soon and as often as I can. After staying here for a week, I now wish I had purchased the time share!!!

This was our first trip to Cabo and we had a very nice stay at Dreams.

The service was wonderful - the staff were all friendly though be aware that 3 Mexican minutes is more like 3 hours. Meals took a long time but since we were on vacation, it wasn't a problem. The seafood was good, the italian food marginal, the sushi and chinese food were good. Breakfast and lunch were my favorites.

All meals and drinks!!!! are included. I recommend the flaming Mexican coffee served on the patio at night and the Miami Vice drinks. The refrigerators inthe room are stocked 2 times a day and include water, soft drinks and beer. 24 hour room service had a 5 am breakfast to us at 5:05!! Nice!

The pools are pretty and clean. The Oceana pool is the quiet one. There is no swimming from the hotel due the undertow.

You can take a free shuttle to town at 10, 1:30 and 10. (weird times) The taxi fare is around 22 dollars one way. Some were taking the bus back for $1.

The room was spacious and clean. Ours was on the Ocean side and was very quiet. Our friends was pool side and was a bit noisy for their liking. The hotel leaves sunscreen (spf8) along with the normal toiletries.

The Spa was nice - We all had treatments and enjoyed the facility and the staff.

Only a few complaints - the fitness facililty looks impressive but none of the machinery is maintained. The cardio equipment rattled, didn't work or squeeked.
We had quite a few mosquitos in our room each day despite keeping the windows closed. I'm not sure why.

All in all, this is a beautiful resort.

We stayed five days 4/29-5/3 at Dreams and had a great time. The weather was positively perfect high 80's - 90's with a breeze and no humidity. The all inclusive meant ALL INCLUSIVE.. Top shelf alcohol and great food.
We hung out at the adult pool that had plenty of lounge chairs and rafts to float all day. The staff were friendly and gave good service. We only had a problem with one of the room service waiters. When we gave him a twenty dollar bill and asked for change (he had delivered 2 wines and a desert) he would not give us the change we asked for which was $15.

We visited both San Jose and Cabos San Lucus and enjoyed both towns. Dreams has a free shuttle that will take you and pick you up to Cabo only. We also had no problem finding a bus in Cabo to take us back to the resort and it was a very nice bus with AC. When we took the bus to San Jose our driver left us off at a strange area and we had to walk a long way to the downtown shopping area. We did not see any other buses going our way either, so I would recommend to get good instructions from the hotel what street to get off the bus and if there is another bus to take you to the downtown area. The Bellboy had told us just to take the bus and should have given us better instructions.

I did like that the resort's staff kept the vendors from walking all over the resort area and approaching everyone.

All in all, we were very pleased with our 5 day stay and can't wait to return.

First of all, if you are looking for perfection, don't vacation in Mexico. Some of the reviews of this hotel are completely unfair in my opinion. Second of all, if you want to come down to Baja and have a relaxing time, stay at the Melia! We came with a very large and demanding group, and our check in took some time... but hey, you're on vacation, what's the rush? We had an ocean front room which was comfortable and clean dispite the difficulty opening the door. This is not a new hotel, but it was comfortable AND clean enough to overlook the chipped trim, single vanity, and closet doors that didn't work perfectly. We left the maid a five dollar bill our first day and you wouldn't believe how clean our room was, and how stocked they kept our fridge. We were so impressed, we left her another 5 halfway through.
Which brings me to my second piece of advice... bring at least $100 in ones with you and drop them around like you're a millionare. Smile and be friendly with the servers and you will get PHENOMINAL service in return. The breakfast is by far the best meal of the day, and the fresh guacamole is to die for! Order the coconut shrimp at La Teresa... AWESOME. The people who work there put in long hours for very little pay, and when you hand them a few dollars everytime you see them, tell them how much you appreciate what they do for you, you will find that your food tastes better, your glass remains full, and your stay will be nice. Our second night at La Teresa we dined with a very difficult woman, who complained about nearly everything and was very rude to the waiter. I, on the other hand, palmed the gent a five at the beginning of the meal, smiled and was pleasant, apologized for her behavior, and dropped his assistant another two. This lady and I ordered the exact same thing, and her meal came out burned. Coincidence? I don't think so.
JoAnne, the woman who handles the excursions, is very professional and helpful. I would recommend the snorkeling at Santa Maria. UNBELIEVEABLE. Cabo San Lucas is starting to get a little touristy, and eating lunch there is expensive. I would suggest going in the other direction back to San Jose. Cute town with less tourists and more unique shops. Catch the bus at the stop in front of the hotel. Only a buck one way.
The pool was well maintained and clean, and there are all kinds of activites for children. We didn't have our two with us (thanks mom and dad!), but those who did couldn't say enough good things about the staff and activities for younger set.
The liquor is NOT watered down. Be careful of the Margaritas. WOW. You only need a couple of those to keep you going. Modelo and Pacifico are great beers and in large supply. If you need XX or Corona (are you serious?) go into town and buy some and keep it in your fridge. Pleeaaaeeese. If you have teenage children they won't be carded. This is unfortunate, but if you bring them and they want to drink, they'll have no trouble obtaining alcohol. Just be ready to deal with it when it happens.
Overall, we had a pleasant experience at the Melia. Perfect? No. Wonderful? Yep. Enjoy your stay.
