  • Overall: Rating of 4.6 out of 5

    "But I would definitely recommend Dreams to family or friends." source Orbitz

    "Overall, we'd go back in a heartbeat and other guests there told us that out of the 4 or 5 other all inclusives they'd stayed at both there in Puerto Vallarta and elsewhere, Dreams was by far the best one overall and they'd never go to a different one again." source Travelocity

    "We would definitely recommend this place to anyone and would gladly take a return trip without hesitation." source Expedia

    "Overall a great vacation (especially for the price)." source Orbitz

    "It wasn't a bad experience because the beach was great and we could spend out time there but overall I think I will try somplace else next time." source Travelocity

  • Clean: Rating of 4.5 out of 5

    "Clean,great service,fantastic location,helpful staff,wide selection of foods,very hard beds but if you ask they will supply soft mattress pad,like a cruise at a resort." source Travelocity

    "The food was fantastic, the people delightful, and the whole resort was spotless and beautiful." source Travelocity

    "People at the Hotel very friendly, food was great, hotel very clean." source Expedia

    "The resort is beautiful and very clean." source Expedia

    "The room was not clean, the furniture was stained and desperately in need of replacement, the bathroom had broken and missing tiles, mildew, and stopped up drains." source Travelocity

  • Service: Rating of 4.6 out of 5

    "Excellent service in the restaurants and the grounds were very well maintained." source Orbitz

    "Great service / very friendly staff." source Travelocity

    "The service at this hotel could not have been any better. Esp the drink service around the adult pool." source Expedia

    "The beach was beautiful and the drink service was quite good. Tips: bring sun screen (expensive at hotel), bring several one dollar bills for tipping, ask for a topper on the mattress, get up early for place in the shade on beach, go early to restaurants to avoid long waits, order room service for breakfast, take a cab to the hotel and avoid the prepaid transportation." source Travelocity

    "Although close to the airport and convenient to town, the service was not so great. Although gratuities are included if you don't tip the servers, the service goes way down hill, and you can be completely ignored while trying to get a drink at the pool or beach." source Travelocity

  • Location: Rating of 4.6 out of 5

    "Negatives for the resort are slight, but include a lack of sunfish-type sailing activities, a smaller-than-usual pool lounge-chair area, and a fairly long distance (approximately 20 minutes by cab) to the city's marina, where all major water activites (e." source Travelocity

    "Guests would head to the pool very early and place a personal belonging on a chair located in the most prime positions (front row/new umbrellas) and think that they have staked their claim for the day." source Travelocity

    "There was also a small adult only infinity pool and the lounging area around it was even smaller and crowded, so we never even tried that pool, although it looked very nice." source Travelocity

    "I also liked that it was only 30min to the airport, 10 min to downtown, 30 min from the marina and only 30-40 min when we went ziplining (totally AWESOME) in the jungle." source Travelocity

    "The beach area is loaded with palapas (large umbrellas) and lounge chairs so you can choose your own semi-private shade spot and lounge by the ocean." source Travelocity

  • Value: Rating of 4.6 out of 5

    "Great: Private Beach - Only a handful of vendors which were employed by the hotelService - Not especially fast but very friendly engagingPortofino's RestaurantVery Good: World Cafe- BreakfastEntertainment TeamAverage:Rooms - Beds were very firm and the walls were paper thinRemaining Restaurants - Food was hit or missTips:No need to exchange for pesos, everyone takes USDOverall: Can't beat the value." source Travelocity

    "We felt very safe and we thought the fares were reasonably priced. Just make sure to negotiate the price with the driver before you take off." source Travelocity

    "Though this worked out to our advantage (we were sent to the Barcelo at no extra cost, and the Barcelo staff treated us wonderfully." source Travelocity

    "\n\nLocation is great, we'd walk up to the main road every day to catch the bus into town- 1/8th cost of getting a taxi." source Travelocity

    "Hey, it's not the Four Seasons, but for a very inexpensive vacation package to PV, you can't go wrong with this resort." source Travelocity
