“Don't be fooled by the 5 star rating!”

Dreams Punta Cana

May 18, 2008
5/15 found this review helpful

We just got back from a week holiday at Dreams (but more like a Nightmare! – this place doesn’t even deserve a two star).
We chose this hotel after reading the reviews. Although there was a mix of positive and negative reviews, we still decided to go for it. It is a choice we regretted as we had an awful time there.

Room:
We requested when booking a top floor room but we were checked into a different room that had a funny smell – clearly it was not used often – it was also very small not at all like what they show on their website. Moreover the balcony door and the room door were not working and we had another guest walk in our room in the middle of the night. It took the hotel staff 4 days to fix the problem – which was very annoying given we were there for only 6 days. They didn’t even try to find us another room until the night before our departure which was useless.

Food and drink:
Food had little variety and was often not good at all. They used the same white fish and called it different names (today Grouper, tomorrow red mullet, mahi mahi, kingfish, etc). They used surimi (fake crab meat) and called it fresh rock crab. The food at Hitmitsu (the Chinese restaurant) and Patio (the Mexican) was disgusting. The only ok place to eat is Bordeaux (the French restaurant).
With regards to the drinks, it was a hit and miss.

The staff:
Can be hard to communicate with them. They always act as if they understood you and often times don’t. The service was not as friendly as we expected.

Hidden additional charges:
+ tones of additional charges which you only find out once down there such as the lobster, the beds on the beach, the dvds, and a so-called room with a sea view which is quasi non existent

“Great, Dream Vacation!!”

Dreams Punta Cana

9/9 found this review helpful

I wanted to share my info. about Dreams in Punta Cana because it was truly an amazing week. The resort is more than I expected. I went down for my cousin's wedding & the Resort did a great job w/ it. Everyone from front desk, performers to house keeping were all nice, polite & friendly. The bartenders were great too. Francisco by the Casino & Carlos & Juan in the Club are the best!

It has a wide variey of resterants from a superier Buffet to French, Mexican, Italian, Japanese hibachi, a steak house & of course, SEAFOOD. Plus, a grill section on the beach during the day. The food was very good in all of them. I suggest getting to them early because they get packed pretty fast. There is a nice dance club inside for the evening.

The pool is a river pool which is very long & has a swim up bar as well. There about 8 bars on the resport & also a Casino. It is kinda small but serves it's purpose. It has slots, Black Jack, Poker & Roulette. The beach is breath taking.

They also, have many activities for the kids & a kids, "Explorer Zone." And also play movies outside at night on a big screen by the pool. Very family friendly.

Finally, I can't say enough about the Entertainment Team. These guys/girls bust their butts everyday from 9 am. -Midnight. They do all activities throughout the Resort & put on a different show every night in the theatre . Stephanie was great along w/ Melkis, Michael, Jose, Joseph & 50 Cent. I have been to many resorts in Mexico, Aruba & this has been my favorite trip so far but pack the sunblock it did not rain & the sun is killer. It is hot but that's why you are going away anyhow. Enjoy & cheers!!

“Great time but customs and Delta were horrible”

Dreams Punta Cana

Dreams Punta Cana, DR.
May 15, 2008
6/6 found this review helpful

My wife and I celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary at Dreams Punta cana May 5-10. First the bad part then the good.
Our luggage didn't arrive until the next day around 5pm so missed a nice dinner the first 2 nights because our wardrobe was in Atlanta being rummaged through by the airlines I chose.
Stole my running shoes. Also the first day was spent switching rooms because they first 2 had hardly any cool air-conditioning.
Finally got one that was comfortable and a great view of the ocean. Room 9301. If you get that room you will love it. Perfect everything. The front desk was very eager to accommodate our requests and were great.The concierge,maides and everyone working were great, friendly and eager to make our time nice.
Had a blast at the pool and beach. Snorkling and body surfing was my favorite. We did not go on any excursions as we just wanted to spend our time together in the resort. Plenty to do.
The bars were awsome. El-presidenta can't wate till they import that to America. Best beer in the world.
The food.....Well some good and some bad. Our favorite was the Japanise bar and The Oceana. Breakfast got boring but did the job. Oh well was not there to get all fat anyway..haha
Everything else was paradise! The pool was great. Never had a hard time finding a place to sit by the pool or a float to float on.
The bartenders were awsome and made most drinks I liked perfect. Best Rum in the world also.
Get a Sammy Sosa or a dirty monkey. Yummy and gets you hammered. I will try to post my favorite picture. One I took off my balcony at 6am. Beautiful. Something I enjoyed every morning before heading out for the day and night.
Coming back....Yes our luggage left in Atlanta again. Got it the next day at around 5pm. The airport in DR was a pain. No organization at all but you what do expect standing in a third world airport.(grass Hut).. Yes it is a giant hut. Plan on about 3 hours to get through customs and getting your luggage checked in. Two different lines.. Both a quarter mile long.
First you get in a long line then they check you baggage. Inside every one. Then you get in a line right next to that one to check your luggage in and get you bording passes. I'm laughing, thinking about all the people that are sitting in those lines right now saying there has to be a better way..haha
Folks, that's about it. Like I said some great and some not so great. Would I go back? yeah but I will chose a direct flight and a different airline.
Hope this helps as these all helped us make our decision to go there.
Happy Vacationing!!!

“loved it, will return”

Dreams Punta Cana

May 15, 2008
3/3 found this review helpful

Just returned from a week at the Dreams. Everything was excellent. The staff is incredible. This resort was recommended by a friend and his description was perfect. As soon as we arrived the staff was very welcoming with a glass of champaign.
The food was excellent, the pool was very large and clean and the room was perfect.
There are two things that I had a problem with, one is the vendors that are allowed to come to the resort to sell their products are very pushy and the ocean is very rocky directly behind the resort, although we walked down the beach a short distance at it was fine there.
We will be returning in the future.
