Domes are Fun!

We made a last minute decision to stay in South Haven for one night as we were passing through. The domes looked fun, so we booked. We loved our dome. The decor was fun and we loved the privacy. The pool area is really cute with shipping container lounge areas where we just relaxed. We will definitely be back for a longer stay!

Great getaway for anytime of the week. Friendly service, that was very knowledgeable. The owner was very nice and helpful. The owner made you feel like family. Room was very detailed in decor and relaxing. View was amazing and not crowded. Anything you can think of from food to drinks, swimming weights or exercise equipment or weightless float and meditation tanks.

Daydream Domes was such a magical experience! The staff were the kindest, most helpful humans. Our AC wasn't working when we first arrived, but Missy was all over it, and by the time we got back from dinner the dome was nice and cool. The pool area isa whole vibe from morning meditations and singing bowls, to DJ dance parties and games. The domes were clean and spacious, and the property is stunning. We will absolutely be back - I won't stay anywhere else in South Haven now that I found Daydream Domes - absolute perfection.

More Dome, please!

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay! It was a fun and unique experience and I look forward to returning in the future. I loved the dome- cool layout/design in the space and it’s obvious a lot of time and love was put into the creation of this property. Great communication from owner as well as very warm and welcoming. Also- I highly recommend a float session!

Super cute concept! Customer service was a 10, which is saying a lot considering we had the entire resort to ourselves for the off season with no staff on site. I have to admit it was a little spooky at night bc we were the only guests, but once I got past that I LOVED IT! We can’t wait to book during the summer season and use all the amenities. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Dirt and rocks in water

The dome had dirt and rocks in the water. We couldn't brush our teeth or have drinking water. They didn't offer any solution to the problem. There was nothing relaxing about the stay. No chairs to enjoy the outdoors. It was missing the "luxurious" aspect that they described. The bedding was so crunchy and loud due to how shiny it was. The faucet, shower and fridge handles all fell off. The door somehow locked us out of the dome in the middle of the night. The tub is charming but useless as you can't fill the tub up because there is no water pressure. Lastly, the highway noise is very loud. They offered to make things right due to the water issues, but never followed through.

Daydreamer Domes was an awesome, unique experience. The dome was comfortable and decorated nicely. We didn’t get to use the pool but the area looked awesome. My husband and I both tried a float for the first time and it was cool! The staff were very friendly and welcoming.
