my boyfriend and I just came back from punta cana, we had a 5 night 6 day vacation that was absolutely amazing! food was great at most restaurants, our favorites were japanese & french. The French food was delicious, but very small portions, order alot! Employees at the resort were so friendly and nice, made us feel at home! we suggest to do some tours while you vacation. We did the Aquatic tour, which was speed boating and snorkling all in one.. out of this world! we also did Horse back riding, pretty cool but not our #1. We also rode ATV's. What an experience, definately something to look into while there! Pool side was great, wake up early enough to grab a chair, just leave your towel on the chair and go have breakfast at the world cafe. Fresh fruit by the pool every day around noon, lunch daily at most restaurants and also a BBQ on the beach. Beach was phenomenol but we did spend most of our time at the pool due to entertainment. Rooms were perfect for what we did, shower and sleep! We loved our vacation, can't wait to book again soon!!!! =)

This was the second time i have stayed at this resort and it won't be the last! from the moment you arrive you are made welcome and the staff are polite to eveyone and really take an interest in you. The dancers and entertainment team are the reson why this holiday is so great and i'm sorry i had to leave but i promised i will return and i hope there will be some friendly faces again! Anyone who wants an amazing holiday full of sunshine and laughs needs to visit Dreams Punta Cana.

We just came back from our vacation. It was a very beautifull resort, a lot of plants and palm trees. Service was great, they have a lot of people working there to make your stay plesant. Very nice entertainment, very good performances, they have like 20 people on the team. Pool was very nice, very big as well. We went with our toddler, so I would deffinetely say they are kid friendly resort. Dreams has an amazing children's areas, for small kids and explorer's club for bigger kids. The beach was beautifull, but if you like to swim in the ocean it's rocky though, so you have to watch out. They room was great, if you go with smaller kids and take stroller, I would advise ask for a 1st floor room because they don't have elevators. Our 1st floor room was great, we upgraded it twice to get it. So my advise always ask for upgrades, it doesn't hurt to ask. One of the negatives of our trip that our toddler got sick on like 4th day, so parents watch out what your kids eat, very important, give them healthy food. It was pretty bad with our toddler, I was glad to be home in US. We went to see their doctor, didn't like him at all, was very mean, so pray so you won't get sick, and if you do be prepared to pay big money. They think americans are super rich so they charge a lot. Thank God we didn't pay for anything. Overall awesome resort, worth the money. And always be wise when going out of country!!!!!

I'm amazed by some of the things I read in other reviews of this hotel. Let me start by saying overall, I had a good time, but I think I would have had a good time at most places. We stayed at the Dreams the last week of April, 2008, and this is what we found.

We had three rooms while we were there. The first was already occupied when we got to it. The second had a leaky ceiling. The third was fine. They did move us and upgrade us after the first mishap and we had to wait a day to get moved from the leaky room. They were easy to deal with and everyone was very nice, but we heard about other rooms in the complex and it doesn't seem like the hotel is in good condition b/c quite a few people we talked to had something leaking or something else wrong with their room.

Anyone that tells you the food is good might need to see a doctor. I did have a few good things to eat while I was there, but overall the food is aweful. The Mexican is by far the worst restaurant. I honestly think everything we ate there was prepared in a microwave. The steakhouse and seafood restaurants were ok, not great, but not bad. The thing we noticed is that they are very inconsistent with food. We ate dinner with another couple one night and everyone pretty much ordered the same thing and all the entrees came out different. Some overcooked and some undercooked. Bring a spice rack too. I thought the food would be spicy here, but it was surprisingly bland.

Some miscellaneous good and bad items about the hotel. The pool is very nice. I've read some reviews that chairs and towels are hard to find. Chairs are always available. They just might not be right next to the pool or at the part of the beach you want, but there are enough. Towels are also available in the morning, but don't give your towel up b/c they run out after lunch. The bars and drinks are fine. If you want more liquor in your drink just ask for it. Most bars and restaurants seem to be understaffed though b/c you do have to wait sometimes, especially at night. They bring vendors in a few times a week to sell junk. I've been to all inclusives before and this is typical, but these vendors where very pushy. Avoid them. Finally, if you really want to go to the D.R., I would suggest something closer to the Airport. We didn't visit the hotels there, but we drive past and most looked very nice. The Dreams is a pretty good drive from the Airport on a very bumpy road, so if you're taking a 4 or 5 hour flight to get there you probably don't want to spend another hour driving that road. Check out the reviews for hotels closer to the Airport, I'm sure there's something good there.
