Dreams Palm Beach Punta Cana - All Inclusive

Overall a very enjoyable vacation. Let's start with what we liked: - Clean resort overall - Great rooms - Great pool area and beach - Friendly & available staff - Good buffet food - Real all-inclusive - Good choice of Entertainment and Activities - Most water activities free Now to what we didn't like: - It took 4 hours to get to our rooms: we did arrive 3 hours before check-in time but they could have made an effort to provide us with our rooms early. - English proficiency of staff not good - Not enough beach towels and beach chairs: you have to go at 7:00 AM to get towels and find good beach chairs (with some shade) - Food in restaurants: Decor was nice, servers were very friendly BUT food was a big disappointment!! There were only two restaurants with reasonable quality: Himitsu (Asian) and Seaside Grill. The italian (Portofino) was also acceptable. The french restaurant (Bordeaux) was a BIG disappointment. - Wine bottles: some wine bottles are available for a fee but they were too much overpriced. We believe the positives greatly outweigh the negatives and we recommend this resort. It's just a pity that with so much good things to enjoy a few details make the experience less than perfect.

The hotel and staff were great. The food was mediocre; the fresh fruits saved the show. All the restaurants were "American"...I really expected to get some Dominican food. I will say, however, lock your suitcase when you leave your room...someone stole my Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses.

We found this hotel to be a very nice value for the money; great staff, nice rooms, nice property and good food.

This was a beautiful resort with a beautiful beach and great pools. Also liked the swim-up bar in the pool. The Spa services were very nice and reasonably priced. The only negative was that many of the activities were not "all inclusive" compared to other "all inclusive" resorts we have visited. At Dreams Palm Beach you can either book via the concierge desk or there are many people on the beach selling various activities. So if you are looking for adventure trips, glass bottom boat trips, horseback riding, etc, remember to budget at least $500 USD extra. The vendors on the beach were a little aggressive at times and there were many of them. But when we stayed closer to the hotel on the beach, they didn't bother us. The only activities included in hotel price was 30min windsurfing and 30min canoeing (to my knowledge, there may have been a few more). The entertainment staff was EXCELLENT! There was plenty entertainment all day and night (much better than other resorts we have been to). Daily schedules are left in your room showing different events for that day for both adults and children.

excellent

Arrived at Dreams only to be told there was a dress code for 75% of resturants at hotel. I had to purchase dress slacks and dress shoes in order to enter these resturants.I questioned the front desk only to be told that this has happened in the past and ther's nothing they can do about it. A dismal and upsetting way to start your vacation.Aside from that our stay was enjoyable.Having visited Punta Cana before I would say that ther are some other all-inclusive hotels that fare better then Dreams.

Hotel was very nice and staff friendly. I had one issue and the room i thought i was to have, i didn't. I had to wait an hour and a half for VIP check in and they located me by a pool speaker. Once they moved me the next day, things got better.

We went to Dreams Palm Beach in Punta Cana for our honeymoon and it was absolutely wonderful. We went for 4 nights and could have used a couple more nights! Upon check-in we were upgraded to the honeymoon suite for a discount and I would definitely say this is the BEST decision we made. With an upgrade to the preferred club you can dine at the Seaside Grill which is by far the BEST food. The other restaurants are ok, but more bland and it all seems to taste the same. The preferred club dining is absolutely delicious tho. With the preferred club you also get access to your own bar where you can make your own drinks - perfect if you want a little kick to your drink! The service was impeccable, the room was gorgeous, and the beach was absolutely beautiful. We did the professional photo shoot and we would definitely recommend it! Although expensive, it was worth it as the pictures are GREAT and we only paid for the ones we loved. Overall, a great trip and we are ready to go again with friends!

our room wasn't cleaned one day, same with our friends. it really didn't matter to us. did some great excursions.

This was so relaxing.Only bad thing was the towel game , guest's putting towels on pool and beach chairs early in morning and not coming back for hours.
