Super helpful staff. Lots of options to eat. It was hard to find seats out by the pool and the drinks were a little watered down, but overall, we had a great time.

We had a wonderful stay at this all-inclusive resort! The property was beautiful and had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. The room was spacious, clean, and very comfortable, and the swim-out pool was definitely the highlight of our stay. It was amazing to be able to step right into the pool from our room and made the experience feel even more luxurious. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our visit. The only downside was the food, which didn’t quite meet our expectations. Because of this, we often ventured out to enjoy the local restaurants, where we found delicious food and got to experience more of the local culture. Overall, we had an amazing time and would definitely recommend this resort to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway. The swim-out pool alone made the trip worth it, and we’d happily stay here again.

The hotel is very clean. The staff is very friendly and most if not all of them know English. The food at the buffet was hit or miss, some stuff is good some is just okay. They rotate the menu around everyday so there is always something different which was nice. The teppanyaki restaurant was excellent, great food and a great show. We were disappointed with the pools. We went in July and it’s VERY hot and humid, we were expecting that and planned to spend a lot of time in the pools. Unfortunately the water was warm and not refreshing at all. All pools including the hot tub felt like the same temperature. This was the biggest disappointment for us. They also close the snack bar outside very early 5:30pm and the pools at 8pm when it actually feels good to be outside. Overall the stay was fine but we probably wouldn’t go back, at least not in the summer.

We had the same front desk agent that checked us in and out. We have to say he has no customer service skills. It took over 20 minutes to check in 3 rooms. Never greet us or even smile during the check-in process. When we checked out, he didn't say a word or ask how our stay were. Very disappointing!!!

We had a great stay at Dreams Vallarta. The standout experience was the Mexican restaurant—the food was excellent, and the guacamole was the best I've ever had. The staff throughout the resort were friendly, helpful, and accommodating, and everyone spoke excellent English.

The resort and our room were very clean and comfortable. The AC worked wonderfully and kept the room nice and cold, and the view was amazing. We had a couple of minor maintenance issues, including some broken jacuzzi jets and a broken clothesline, but these were small inconveniences and did not impact our stay.

The room service food was surprisingly delicious and exceeded our expectations. Breakfast was our favorite meal of the day. The lunch and dinner options at the Asian restaurant, seafood restaurant, and buffet were okay—about what you'd expect from a hotel. While enjoyable, they didn't feel as authentic as some other places we've visited in Mexico.

There was a strong push to attend a presentation, but when we declined, the staff remained respectful and courteous regarding the gifts and additional add-ons.

Overall, I would highly recommend Dreams Vallarta for anyone looking for an upscale, hotel-style vacation in Mexico, especially travelers who only speak English. The excellent service, cleanliness, comfort, and outstanding Mexican restaurant made for a wonderful stay.

This was our first time visiting this hotel, and the experience was truly wonderful.

What made it even more special was the warmth and hospitality of the staff. As visitors from California, it means a lot to see that our people and our culture are never forgotten. It was a pleasure to visit our beloved Mexico and feel so welcomed.

We would like to especially thank Junior, Carlos, Miguel, and Juan at the pool area for their outstanding service. Also, a special thank you to our guide Jimmy, who took us out on the sailing excursion and made it a memorable experience.

We would also like to recognize Josué from housekeeping and our butler for their excellent attention and professionalism throughout our stay.

Thank you all for making our visit so enjoyable. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Muchas gracias y hasta pronto.

Food is great. Staff is friendly. Aerial view/pictures of property and pools are deceiving as it includes both dreams and secrets (they are right next to each other). Dreams resort section is actually quite small and showing its age (pool towels are old and frayed). Only one dining option with partial ocean view.

Why too many weddings with loud music till 10:30 most evenings. Many of the restaurants were closed. On some evenings only 2 of 5 were open. They no longer cook lunches outside. That used to add variety to the food. Also the no longer cook outside for the morning buffet with selections of coffees.

Before Hyatt they always had a greater variety of restaurants open. Now it is not so special.

Everything was very clean and well taken care of, the grounds are beautiful. The staff were all so friendly and helpful and the food was excellent! The only thing I wasn’t 10/10 happy with was the beach. It’s clean and large and amazing but there’s a fairly steep drop going down to the water and it will suck you out if not careful! Some people were swimming but it’s not safe for children or anyone who isn’t strong enough or an experienced enough swimmer.
All in all I would return in a heartbeat - best resort experience yet!

Clean room but pillows were horrible. Asked for extras and they were worse. 1/2 of the Drawers were broken. Not enough hangers. Booked 3 people and had 2 robes, etc. room service wouldn’t leave my coffee outside the room to not wake up the kids. Barely ever picked up dishes even though pick up was ordered. Asked for 1hr late check out 4x no one got back to me. All restaurants had sub-par food except Asian and couldn’t try Italian because my kids weren’t 18. Beach was Rocky. Many many vendors trying to sell things literally every minute while sitting on the beach.

Overall, I would say the resort was great. Our check-in was really fast and rooms were ready when we arrived. Rooms were clean and well-maintained on a daily basis. A couple of times we had to ask to get our fridge stopped, but they restocked them immediately with the drinks that we requested. All the restaurants were great however, the buffet was a bit challenging because it was not large enough for the amount of guests and often the food was not restocked very well. I appreciated the hand sanitizing stations available everywhere. Japanese restaurant is recommended as well as the Mexican restaurant. That’s were OK not the most comfortable that we’ve ever had but still got great sleeps. Poolside restaurant was very convenient and had an assortment of food items which was great. Room service was good and appreciated. The dishes being picked up quickly in the hallways, not like some resorts. We were here for New Year’s, and they did a great job for the celebration. The fireworks on New Year’s Eve was amazing because you could see the fireworks from all the resorts along the coast. Poolside service available for drinks available and service was fantastic. Also appreciated that the pool area was well-maintained. The pool was clean and lots of umbrellas were available. Rooms were fairly soundproof, which was fantastic. There was aqua gym in the morning, people coming around offering spa services and sunglasses cleaning, which was a cool service I’ve never seen before.

Si te gusta pagar de más, no dormir y esperar horas para comer, Dreams Vallarta bay Resort es perfecto para ti.

Me cobraron 105 USD extra por dia por mis hijos, aunque Expedia cobra igual sin importar la edad. Y aunque estoy segura que si lo pague porque al viajar con mucha frecuencia ya lo tengo en mi perfil guardado con las edades de mis hijos

No es la primera vez que pasa esto en comentarios más abajo ya está un review tal cual igual a lo que me acaba de pasar

Los restaurantes tienen esperas eternas (y el italiano no es para niños, aunque el hotel se dice familiar). En mi caso hubo una boda en el lobby con música hasta la madrugada, ideal si lo que querías era una discoteca y no descanso.
Además de que ojo si planeas tu boda aquí ya que la recepción es literalmente el lobby del hotel

Climas que no sirven, alcohol barato, comida mala y un trato que deja claro que el turismo local no es bienvenido. Ya que en el lobby priorizaban atender a los extranjeros

Dreams … pero de pesadilla.

The staff were very friendly and attentive! The rooms were spacious. The property felt very secure (they check who goes in and out of the gated property). My only complaint was the fact that the poolside restaurant has a dress code even during the day. My group was dressed for the pool and couldn’t get into the restaurant because one of the men in our group had a tank top on and sleeves are required to enter, but yet us women could enter with just bikini tops!? This didn’t make sense since it was daytime and the restaurant was by the pool. That explained why most people near the pool have to eat from the snack bar instead of the restaurant.

So we leave the hotel and change to a different one. The front desk refuse to refund us for the days we are not going to stay. Which is not helpful at all. I submitted a review through the hotel’s parent company’s website and then they get the partial refund to us. Besides this. The kids club is great and staff beside the front desk are all great too.
