The food was very good but not all restaurants were open and our Oceana restaurant was closed for the first week. The preferred pool is good with sun-beds etc available all day. Very nice mix of people in the resort . The entertainment was hit and miss but my son and I did good rendition of Sweet Caroline on the Karaoke night which went down well. The resort does need some work as things are looking tired and no air on in the teen hangout made it unusable . Overall a nice holiday made by the staff. Read less

For our first family trip to Mexico we were keen to mix some culture and the opportunity to relax - the usual recipe for a holiday! The team at Dreams were excellent, our booking allowed us access to their 'preferred' package and this was apparent from the moment we arrived. Their suite for guests was cool and comfortable, the amenities clear. Our rooms, interconnecting with a small pool was ideal for our family needs. The restaurants were mainly really good, with the exception of El Patio which was a big let down as we'd hoped to truly explore Mexican cuisine on site. World Cafe, as the only buffet option, was really well run. The no 'booking' system works (which I found better than having a 'slot' system, which can lead to disappointment) If there's a wait, it doesn't matter, 30 mins at an all inclusive isn't a hardship, right? A la carte and good service. Supper on the beach was delightful and this is where the food (wonderful BBQ and more) hit the holiday note just right. Big nod to Roberto, Preferred pool concierge, a delightful chap. Extremely hard working with an exceptional eye for detail. Likewise Emilio, nothing was too much trouble - very grateful for his help! Overall, great team. Clean, tidy and good value for money. Considerations - We were there at the non-peak time, this led to the evening entertainment schedule being limited and in the lobby (bar one evening which was done on the beach - this was great) We appreciate that with low occupancy this is rightly adapted, but a nice cocktail bar with softer lighting / more seating for a drink in the evening would have been great. 'Desires' club was an option, but not quite the vibe for a reflection on another day being spoilt in a beautiful setting... It did get a little noisy with people singing and talking loudly at around 01:00 coming back from the club - not a killjoy as they're also on hols, but a slight pest. They had 3 weddings (congrats!) whilst we were there. This did put pressure on the dining options with one closed to general use for 4 days as a consequence. Not the end of the world, but it'd have been great to have been advised upon arrival so we could have made alternate plans. Due to circumstances clearly beyond the control of the hotel, this coastline (and more locations beyond this) has been impacted by the seaweed problem. The team did a great job clearing this but it's impossible to fully overcome it. This severely restricted the use of the lagoon for swimming (for us). Once again, this is not a hotel fault at all, sadly an instance that is impacting many hard working hotels. Read less
