The hotel

Relaxing comes as standard at Dreams Palm Beach, with their Unlimited-Luxury® promise meaning everything’s included, so you can simply do as you please. Even with activities, entertainment, and dining on tap, you’ll be forgiven for making a beeline to the sun-bleached sands to do absolutely nothing – although, while you’re there, you should try out the complimentary kayaking and snorkelling, or take a dip in the beachside lagoon pool. Geared for families, the fun of Explorer’s Club and Core Zone Teen’s Club are also included. And, after dark, you can retreat to the restaurants for gourmet Italian and French fancies, authentic Mexican dishes, or perhaps the Pan-Asian menu of Himitsu.

My wife and I are currently in our room on the final morning of our week-long stay. It has been a week filled with relaxation, wonderful shows and activities, and delicious food. The staff here are beyond to-notch. A special shout-out to Emilio (excelente!) at the preferred pool and Eddie Murphy (no, not a typo) for his awesome character and keeping all guests happy. In this day and age of Covid, there were a few things that were not available to us, but this was totally understandable. The casino and theater were closed. To make up for this, nightly entertainment was provided outdoors which included a magic show, trivia night and dancing / disco. Portofino had some of the best chicken parm I have ever experienced and the food at all restaurants was at least above average. The coffee was to die for and the orange juice far better than what you can get in the US. The resort is doing all they can in regards to the seaweed. The ocean is not the crystal blue one would expect, but it is still swimmable. Those providing negative reviews because of the seaweed should be ashamed. The staff are magical but they do not possess a magic wand to make nature take a different course. There are individuals not affiliated with the resort that will try to sell you things on the beach. This ranges from necklaces, to t-shirts, to pictures with birds and a monkey. They are not overwhelming and haggling with them can actually be its own form of entertainment. The resort provides drinks of the day, 4 pools, and at least 4-5 restaurants open per day. No reservations means that one should either get there early or later when people have already had dinner. Coco cafe has delicious finger foods and coffee flavors which I regret I was unable to try them all. The resort has an auction that you can participate with the use of funny money...earned by participating in earlier activities. Yep... in essence, you are getting paid to have FUN. The rooms themselves are quite nice; are they showing a little sign of wear and tear? Perhaps. Keep in mind that this is a resort situated oceanside. We had minor water pressure issues and minor internet issues. Turn down service was consistent every day around 9 to 9:30 and everything fully stocked. In my opinion, there was always a free lounge chair to be found at one of the pools. Staff was excellent about clearing away lounge chairs from guests that left their towels but obviously were not coming back. Covid testing is provided at the hotel lobby in order to return to the United States. The Amstar transportation, as well as the Covid testing was a seamless process. Everybody there was friendly and we were "welcomed home" upon arrival. We felt our stay here was one that we wish would never end. Thank you all at Dreams Punta Cana for a lifetime of excelente memories! Read less

Everyone was very nice and it was clean. The food is average, it would've been nice to have more dominican dishes. The Kids club is great and they took really good care of the kids. We never felt unsafe. Thank you for a great week. Read less

This resort is a smaller Dreams resort but it was perfect for our family and friends. We loved the family suites and that we didn’t have to walk far to get anywhere.

This resort is a smaller Dreams resort but it was perfect for our family and friends. We loved the family suites and that we didn’t have to walk far to get anywhere. The servers, bartenders, and entertainment staff were all so engaging and attentive. Even the bellman and front lobby security were so helpful and attentive to all guest needs, even before we said anything! Such a great trip!!! For those who like details…. See below. TEEN CLUB: Our teenagers actually didn’t use the teen club. It was in the back of the resort away from pools and the beach. CASINO: closed because of Covid. SERVICE/ ENTERTAINMENT: The entertainment team was great and involved the kids and adults in all activities. We enjoyed volleyball, bingo, water aerobics, etc. the lobby bar usually had something fun set up for the adults; martini night, margarita night, etc. The evening entertainment was enjoyable for all ages. Service at all restaurants was great and we felt so welcome with every interaction. RESTAURANTS: we loved the Italian, French, and Asian restaurants for dinner. Preferred breakfast and lunch at Seaside had the best view! Poolside lunch at the Preferred adult pool was very convenient. We also liked being able to meet before dinner at the preferred bar once it was open in the evening (Covid restrictions kept it closed for the beginning of our trip). PREFERRED: The preferred pools were lovely and service was perfect! Arismendy was the best server! So attentive and remembered all 8 of our party’s favorites. I must say that our preferred concierge experience was not the best. We have had so much better in our many other Dreams resort experiences. We were pretty much left on our own and had to hunt him down. We finally gave up and did everything on our own. BEACH: There was red tide seaweed so we didn’t enjoy the beach as we would have liked. This was of no fault of the resort. They worked very hard to limit the amount of seaweed on the beach. GYM: small with older equipment but good enough for getting in a vacation workout. Very clean and stocked with waters and towels. Had decent sets of dumbbells and cardio equipment. SPA: we actually didn’t take advantage of the spa. Too busy relaxing I guess. SEAPRO: we used SEAPRO during past trips and had great experiences and this trip was the same. We parasailed right from the beach of the hotel and had an incredible experience. I highly recommend! AMSTAR: we used them to book the sand buggy trip. Super helpful in setting up the trip and making sure we had goggles and bandannas before we left. So helpful! COVID: our Covid tests to get back into the US were so easy and quick. The resort made this process so quick and easy. Read less

The resort was sold to us as 5 stars but is only 4 stars. Hotel rooms were nice and the food was good. The staff were very helpful. We particularly thank Juan Carlos who served us drinks on the beach, always cheerful, always ready to help. But this resort has a few major problems. (1) The sea is disgusting to swim in due to algae infestation. The resort has people who clean the beach throughout the day, relentlessly, but the water is still brown and murky. (2) There were bedbugs in some of the rooms despite repeated fumigation. (3) One cannot take long walks along the beach because the resort's beach is short and Natura Park next door is closed and abandoned. We advise travellers to stick with the resorts in Northern Punta Cana where the water is better. Read less
