We had an awesome stay at Dreams Resorts & Spas, but I specifically want to focus on my Dream Spa facial experience. Guadalupe gave me the best facial and the most relaxing experience and created moments of peace and renewal. If you visit Dreams, please ask for her. You will not be disappointed.

10 day stay, with 15, 13 and 4 year old twins, excellent small family resort, can get from farthest point, to point in 5 minutes. Food - Excellent fruit and food. -For dinner arrive just before 6 with families to not wait for a table and have an ocean view from most restaurants. Rooms -Beds were incredibly comfortable, -rooms were clean -we never heard a sound from inside our room, so everyone slept great. -Not the most posh resort I've ever seen but we've been back 3 times since they make up for it with amazing perks like, BEACH -saxophone player on the beach one day -dinners set up on the beach, -different themed food brought to the beach each lunch hour (sushi, fish tacos, bbq), -movie night on the beach, -they had an incredible concert one night, - crafts, - dancing lessons, -lots of effort made to keep it fresh and fun. - The gym was great. -The sand wasn't awesome like it used to be, -Seaweed when windy, (3/10 days for us) employees worked endlessly to clean it up. KIDS CLUB The twins begged to go to the kids club every chance we would let them, so nice that they don't just keep the kids in a back corner the whole time, but bring them to make bracelets on the lawn by the pool, treasure hunts on the beach, a piñata on the beach, cupcake decorating, bracelet making, and of course the small waterslides with the club. Felt very safe, Big waterslides were also awesome and had you could still see the ocean. The teens loved playing basketball at the court, and all the silly games at the pool. Watch out for scented toilet paper for sensitive skin. The marina is one block away for a change in scenery if you want to check out the boats, eat at a different restaurant, or see some different fish in the clear marina water where it meets the ocean. Abigail and Perla are amazing Read less
