This hotel has great customer service. From the second you pull onto the property you're treated very kindly & well. The property is clean & beautiful. The beach is absolutely stunning! Calm, shallow, beautiful blue water and soft, fluffy sand. The beach is everything I had hoped for.
We upgraded to a premiere package and it was worth it, but the room was a bit small in my opinion. The king sized bed & pillows were a bit too firm for my liking but it's not something that would prevent me from coming back. The staff work incredibly hard to take good care of everyone. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Amazing experience as usual with Dreams resorts. I had my designer sunglasses stolen by another guest in the gym, and within 1.5 hours after reporting it the security team checked cameras and tracked down thief and retrieved my sunglasses. I was very impressed. Pool bar is great. Beach is amazing. 200 meters out in white sand at only knee level water. Food was 4/5! Walking distance to local shops and clubs.

We had a great relaxing vacation. The beach is white sand and very clean the water is amazing the color blue. You can walk out 100 yards on the sand bar knee deep.
Service was top notch. I want to give a special shout out to Angel Gustav and Louis
Our pool concierge who found us great lounging every day in the sun or in the shade. Our server Genlin who took great care of us the 2 days we reserved the Bali beds. Definitely recommend those. And to all the staff who went out of their way to be sure we were happy. Great time thanks Megan & Rich.

Stay FAR Away from Dreams Sands Resort
I stayed at Dreams Sands from Tuesday to Friday, paying in full for myself and my wife—including an upgrade to the “premier” experience. My wife had to leave early Thursday morning, so I asked my younger brother if he wanted to stay with me for the final night. Mind you, I already paid for two guests through Friday. No extra services, no extra food or drinks. Just a simple guest swap.
Apparently, that was unacceptable to the staff. At checkout, they refused to give us our luggage, threatened to call the police, and held us hostage until we handed over $200 in cash—with zero explanation beyond “hotel policy.” It was unprofessional, hostile, and completely unjustified.
Beyond the nightmare ending, the resort itself is trash. The food? Inedible. The drinks? Watered down and awful. The facilities? Run-down and far from what’s advertised.
Save yourself the money and stress—don’t book Dreams Sands. Ever.

Resort and beach access is absolutely fantastic. The food - not so good. The only okay place is Buffett. And Steak place. Staff is nice and keeps this place clean. I wanna highlight Oscar from front desk, he was very polite. Took care of us and had resolved our issue quick and in a very professional way. And Enrique in the Breakfast and Lunch area is amazing too, super friendly and takes cares of u very good. So big thanks to him he always welcomes us here so warmly. Overall we enjoy being here, not too crowded especially this year...but yes they can do a better job on the food choices...
