Dreams Vallarta Bay Resorts & Spa - All Inclusive

We stayed here March 22nd-29th. Very clean resort, food was good, drinks are very watered down from pool bar. Beach was great, fun swimming in ocean every day. Pools aren’t my thing but they are nice. Always being cleaned at night and tested. Chairs are saved by 6:30am Some get saved for hours but I just throw their towels in bin and sit if I want if no one shows up. Bar fridge in room was only restocked once during entire week. And I had to ask 3 times and then talk to front desk. Pain in ass because I like bottled water to brush teeth. But first world problems . Pool BBQ was good when they fired it up. Felt very safe there and aside a few issues, will definitely return. Just an honest review. Next time would stay on Secrets side

Our first time staying at Dreams Vallarta Bay was for our wedding, and what an unforgettable experience it was. We travelled with 40 of our closest friends and family and spent 7 incredible days celebrating together. There are so many layers to this review, so let’s start with the amenities. The food, the rooms, the pool, the spa, and the overall service were all impeccable. Our entire group couldn’t stop raving about the facilities, and having every room ocean-facing was such a special touch that made the experience feel even more elevated. The service truly stood out. Every staff member we encountered was attentive, kind, and genuinely fun. You can feel the care in everything they do, and it made such a difference for both us and our guests. We cannot say enough good things about the team. Now, onto the wedding itself. I have to give the biggest, most heartfelt thank you to Livier, our wedding coordinator, who was truly the reason our day was as perfect as it was. She took the time to understand our vision and brought it to life in a way that exceeded every expectation. She handled every detail with care, and made us feel completely taken care of throughout the entire week. On the day of the wedding, everything flowed effortlessly, and we were able to be fully present and soak in every moment because we trusted her completely. Eduardo and the spa team made my bridesmaids and I feel so beautiful and pampered, which was such a special part of the experience. Our minister, Lucie, created a ceremony that felt incredibly personal and meaningful, and our photographer, Charly, truly exceeded all expectations. We are absolutely in love with our photos. From start to finish, the entire experience was seamless, thoughtful, and genuinely unforgettable. Between the incredible staff, beautiful resort, and the care that went into every detail of our wedding, we truly felt so celebrated and taken care of. It was everything we could have hoped for and more. 10/10 experience. We would do it all over again without hesitation.

We had our wedding at Dreams Vallarta Bay! Celeste, our wedding coordinator, was fantastic to work with. She made the wedding planning very simple and stress free, and on our big day she was present and available making sure everything went smoothly! I would highly recommend staying here and having a wedding here!

We recently stayed at this resort and had a really lovely overall experience, with a few areas that could definitely be improved. One of the absolute highlights of our trip was the kids club—Sarahi was truly exceptional. She made such a genuine connection with the children and created a fun, welcoming environment that gave us peace of mind and allowed us to relax. It was a standout part of our stay and something we really appreciated. Dining was another strong point, especially at Castaway restaurant. The dinners there were consistently wonderful—great food, beautiful setting, and attentive service. It quickly became one of our favorite spots on the property. We also loved the location of the resort. It’s perfectly situated and offers beautiful views, and the pools were fantastic—always warm and very enjoyable for both adults and kids. That said, there were a few disappointments. The lack of nightly entertainment was noticeable, especially compared to other resorts. Even a bit more variety or consistency in evening activities would have made a big difference. We were also frustrated with the mini bar service, which was inconsistent and often not restocked as expected. It’s a small detail, but one that impacts the overall experience. Lastly, like many resorts, the “chair game” was real—finding pool or beach chairs without reserving them early in the morning was quite challenging, which took away from the relaxed vibe. Overall, we had a great trip thanks to the staff, location, and dining, but with a few improvements, this resort could truly be exceptional.

Food was a real disappointment with teens. Some were adults only and some were closed intermittently. Buffet became VERY boring. For a typical all inclusive it was nice enough. Beach fun. Pool clean. Rooms well appointed. Service excellent. But if travelling to Puerto Vallarta, stay at a hotel in the romantica zone with better beaches, eat delicious street food and try the many fantastic fine dining restaurants.

La vista

Disappointing, restaurants closed for days, lacked enough servers, zero energy at the pool, same 90s playlist every day, buffet was only open for breakfast. Disco was only open 1 day and lounge lacked enough staff, long lines and zero entertainment.

We had been to this resort twice in the past but not for 4 years. Every time we would be somewhere else we would all compare it to Dreams Vallarta Bay and were never happy with any other resort. When we were finally able to make it back, it did not disappoint. Junior is the best, anticipating everything we needed. We will be back again!

We were lucky enough to have our dream wedding at Dreams Vallarta Bay Resort & Spa in October 2025, and we still talk about it to this day! We worked with Livier Cortes, who was so kind and helpful in the planning process and ensured that our wedding day went off without a hitch. We couldn't be more grateful to the staff at the resort for making us feel so loved and special, not just on our wedding day, but for the entire duration of our stay. We can't wait to return and make more memories!
