Dreams Vallarta Bay Resorts & Spa - All Inclusive

What a great resort!! My husband and I had cancelled flights and had to find a quick place to stay so we booked this last minute and I'm so glad we did. Due to snowstorms in the midwest our flights were cancelled 4 TIMES! It was so stressful and yet Dreams made it truly a dream. What was an accident turned into one of the best resort experiences. The staff treated us like royalty and went above and beyond the whole time! Reyna at check in was so kind, Ariana in concierge was incredible, Hugo & Omar serving drinks on the beach were on top of it! The staff makes a huge difference here! The little touches like cold towels, welcome drink and everyone saying "Welcome home" really set the tone. The food was incredible, the drinks were top notch and watching the sunset there literally anywhere at the resort was so beautiful! Did I mention they had whales right off the beach rolling and breaching in the beautiful water! We will be back!!!!!! Actually can I go back now?!

We really enjoyed our stay at Dreams Vallarta. We arrived earlier than expected, so our room wasn't ready. The helpful man at the front desk offered us an upgrade to a room on the penthouse floor for an additional fee, and we decided to splurge and take it (which also gave us access to the Secrets Vallarta side [the adults-only side of the resort]). It was very quiet up there, especially since there was no one above us. The room (2566) was very spacious, the shower was huge, the vanity had ample room for all our toiletries, and there was a separate toilet room for privacy. We especially enjoyed that there were screens on the balcony doors, so whenever we were in the room we left the glass doors open to enjoy the fresh air. Our room had a great view of the ocean and the whole resort. We didn't ever hear any other guests or any traffic noise at night. There was some minor local construction noise during the day, but it wasn't bothersome. On two of the four nights we were there, the hotel lit off fireworks on the beach after dark. That was quite loud, but it was a really nice display. The buffet had theme nights for dinner, which we went to a couple nights, but we preferred eating at the Castaway restaurant for dinner (no reservations required) - the food was delicious and it was a little quieter. We also checked out the coffee shop (their pastries are DELICIOUS!) and the jewelry store, and a new gift shop opened in the resort while we were there. The location is great - there is a lot of beach walking available, and it's within walking distance of both the Malecon [downtown] area and the La Isla mall to the north with more upscale shopping. There are a lot of small stores and pharmacies all over the place. We felt safe walking back from the Malecon area even later at night because there were so many people out and about. One word of caution: Immediately after checking in, the man at the front desk called over a guest relations specialist (or something like that) to give us information about some additional perks available to us. She was very nice, but we quickly realized that it was a pitch for their travel club, so we passed.

Great location, service, pools, and food. Perfect for our family of four (kids ages 11 and 14). Staff was helpful and kind. Only critiques would be that the beds are only full size not queens and that the teen room wasn't very exciting. But those things didn't bother us too much because we spent 90% of our time at the pools, beach, and restaurants.

Mt wife and I travelled with our daughter, son in law and two children ages 7 and 3. We had two suites on the ground floor with the walk-in pool. The rooms were wonderful and the pool was a welcome end to a beautiful day at the beach and common pools. The grandkids called this the best vacation ever. Made us very happy We splurged on the rooms and such a wonderful chain over lower priced options. This was truly a wonderful vacation

We have been coming to Dreams Vallarta Bay for the last 10 years and would like to recognize the exceptional service of our personal butler, Mauricio. We stayed in the Preferred Club in a master suite ocean front and Mauricio made our stay over the top wonderful. He was very attentive and quick to resolve any issues we may have had. He went out of his way to make our stay extra special. His attitude and positivity are joy to be around. We can’t wait to come back next year and see him again.

Only there for a short time, but what I experienced was outstanding. Highly recommend the Preferred option rooms. Above and beyond.

The resort was pretty clean. Our oceanview room was great. Food is average for an all-inclusive, but we tend to be picky. Pool chairs are a pain unless you get up at 6 am. I always go down and stay in my chair to respect others and see many people reserving four to six and leaving until 10:30 or 11. Resorts MUST get a handle on this rudeness.

We stayed here for 6 nights and the service and atmosphere was spectacular for all of them. Omar took such great care of us by the beach and pool. He helped us book a cabana and made our experience so memorable. We really enjoyed the empanadas by the Mexican restaurant. Abraham was our waiter inside the Mexican restaurant and he made sure we were well taken care of and having a great time! He even came out to help get us more drinks during the live shows.

Our destination wedding at Dreams in Puerto Vallarta was everything we dreamed of and more. From the very beginning, we felt genuinely cared for. Our wedding coordinator, Livier, was incredibly attentive and courteous, always present, always reassuring, and truly invested in making our vision come to life. That peace of mind meant everything to us. The two-day celebration was absolutely top-notch. Every moment felt magical, intentional, and beautifully executed. The views were beyond breathtaking — the kind that make you stop, take a deep breath, and realize how special the moment truly is. What makes this experience even more meaningful is that our entire family fell in love with the wedding and the trip itself. Seeing our loved ones so happy, relaxed, and emotional alongside us is something we will cherish forever. This wasn’t just a wedding; it was a once-in-a-lifetime memory that we will hold in our hearts for years to come. Thank you to the Resort team and especially Our coordinator Livier ❤️

We found the service and cleanliness at this resort is not what you should expect for the money you pay. The food quality is unremarkable overall, with one exception of the Asian restaurant. Other than the bus boys and the pool service who work very hard, most of the other employees were substandard. it was not unusualy that we would have to order the same drink at the buffet two or three times until it actulaly eventually arrived. There were however a few exceptions to this general statement, but they were in the minority.
