Puerto Vallarta hotel shines with luxury amenities and daily activities
Dreams Puerto Vallarta Resort & Spa-All Inclusive-All Inclusive defines luxury resort life, filling a roster with recreational activities, high-end and casual dining and pampering spa treatments. A supervised kid's club gives parents more time to enjoy the three pools and fitness center or simply rest in a beachside palapa (an open-sided, thatched-roof hut). Everyone enjoys the views of Banderas Bay from expansive rooms equipped with balconies and modern furniture.
Highlights
  • Luxury resort with rooms and suites overlooking Banderas Bay
  • Seven restaurants, 24-hour room service and private beachside dining
  • Full-service spa
  • Daily activities for kids and adults
Rooms
Dreams Puerto Vallarta Resort & Spa-All Inclusive captures a zest for the good life in luxurious rooms and suites, all of which face the ocean. High-end appointments fill the space. Exquisite marble sparkles on the floor, while sleek furniture boasts aquatic and tropical colors. Soaring vaulted ceilings in some rooms bring depth and airiness, a feeling furthered by the expansive, fully furnished balconies overlooking Banderas Bay. Guests help themselves to the beer, juices, soda and water in the mini-refrigerators, which are refilled daily. A phone with an option for Internet access, double or king beds and a safe are standard amenities.
Features
Twenty-four hour room service sates hunger at any moment, but many guests prefer to try the seven restaurants on site. El Patio restaurant, serving provincial Mexican Pacific fare, delights with picturesque archways that lead to four courtyards. When date night is in order, adults-only restaurant Portofino dishes up Italian cuisine. For those extra-special occasions, guests can request a private table on the beach for an additional charge.
Recreation
Travelers set their own pace at Dreams Puerto Vallarta Resort & Spa-All Inclusive. A robust menu of recreational activities fills the schedule. Guests can take aqua aerobics, go snorkeling or ocean kayaking, play board games or simply rest in a beachside palapa or in one of the three pools on the property. Kids have their own distractions, thanks to the Explorer's Club, which plans activities such as treasure hunts, arts and crafts and games for kids ages 3 to 12.

Parents use the free time to enjoy the fitness center or spa--a haven for massages, facials and skin-softening body treatments.

Excellent value

I liked the reception by the staff when we checked in. They offered cool, fresh smelling towels to wipe the stress & sweat of a long travel day away. Nice private beach which is completely raked out every morning. No silly wristbands. Many restaurant choices. Good variety of tasty menu items. Room service was great. Local vendors allowed on site were friendly and not pushy. Close to town but still secluded. Friendly, helpful staff. The only thing that slightly annoyed me was that one of the pools close to our room location was constantly being closed due to wedding receptions. Free wifi would be a good addition in the future.

At PVR airport skip the nasty overpriced airport food. Walk over the pedestrian overpass and right as you exit the last step you're in front of Tacon de Marlin. Smoked Marlin, shrimp, or other seafood burritos. Reasonably priced and super tasty.

Wonderful Resort

Great staff, wonderful food, and the grounds are beautiful. The beds since our last visit were much improved. The following are some shortfalls that keep this very good resort from being great. Only one ice machine for entire bldg. No plastic liners for room ice bucket. Very, very limited selection of beer. So many restrictions for the use of the hotel coupons they're basically worthless. No bottled water for the pool/beach area. Called room service twice, we were told both times they didn't have the item.

Great Hotel, Wonderful Staff

We just returned from Dreams after an 8-day stay and it was everything we'd hoped for. The room was good. The view was spectacular. The staff were fantastic. We would definitely come back. After reading reviews from other travelers, we opted not to upgrade to the room with the balcony since all rooms have a sliding door and an ocean view. We weren't disappointed. However, we paid $60 for Wi-fi for the week, which we later learned was included with a Preferred Tower room. That might have offset part of the cost for us, but they didn't explain it in those terms. If you end up purchasing Wi-fi, do it through the website with your credit card. You will pay an extra $10 if you purchase it through the hotel gift shop. We stayed in room 1507 with a king-size bed. It was neat and clean. It had a musty smell that is pretty typical of beach hotels, especially older ones. It wasn't that bad, and we didn't even notice it after a couple of days. I was very happy with the size of the room... plenty of space to more around. It had a "living room" area that was great when we ordered room service. The staff was wonderful. Everyone was friendly and seemed genuinely happy. Guadalupe kept our room very clean. Our mini-bar was kept stocked. The even took notice to what items we were using (Coronas and bottled waters), and left extras above the fridge. The bellhops were helpful and quick to get your bags where they needed to go, or to get you a taxi. The bartenders, especially Orlando at the beach bar, were happy to recommend drink or make whatever you asked for. The entertainment team (Oscar, Freddie, etc.) were always busy making sure that everyone was having fun, and staying informed about the activities that were available for their enjoyment. My wife and I made this trip alone, to celebrate our anniversary. But, we would definitely consider bringing the family back in the future. It looked like the kids were all having a blast. Thanks to the Dreams Team for showing us a great time, and for your wonderful hospitality.

Money-saving tip: Short drive from hotel

Save some money and walk up to the road to take the orange bus to the Romantic Zone. It's less than $1 USD per person, and is more fun than riding in a cab.

After arriving at the airport - WALK ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE AIRPORT WITHOUT STOPPING AT THE "INFORMATION BOOTHS". All these "agents" are trying to do is to sign you up to visit a timeshare!! Don't waste precious vacation time - GO STRAIGHT TO THE CABS/BUSSES OUTSIDE!!

Highly Recommend Dreams Puerto Vallarta

We just spent a week at Dreams Puerto Vallarta and would definitlely stay there again. Our room was in the older building. The beds were comfortable, the room was quiet, and the view was spectacular. The beach is beautiful. We swam, kayaked, and boogie boarded. The food was good. You don't need to make reservations which makes eating very convenient. The staff is friendly and accommodating. Town is about a 5-10 minute cab ride and the airport 35 minutes away. Bring bug spray because there are a few mosquitoes. The resort is very family friendly and fun for couples too.

Exceptional, attentive staff

We will go back and might well make a yearly winter break. I was recently diagnosed with Celiac disease and have to avoid all foods gluten in them. The first dinning hostess we spoke to immediately asked for dietary restrictions. My partner advised them of my issue. I wasn't going to mention it. Moments later I was approached by the captain waiter and a chief who advised I had nothing to worry about they would ensure my meals were gluten free. It did matter which restaurant we chose for a meal my status was known and prepared for. I was treated like a king. Amazing! Outstanding!

Great Spring Break for the Family

Stayed March 2013 for 5 days. This was a great stay for our family...myself, wife and 11 year old daughter. Lots of kid friendly activities, staff was great. Food was good, my daughter loved the Ice Cream in the buffet. We had no problems and no complaints.
