Mar 28, 2026Be aware of “preferred” vs main building
We booked through Expedia and never stayed at Punta Cana Dreams before. Here is the thing you need to know. There is an extension to the original main building called “preferred”, which is very disconnected from the main Dreams Royal Beach. It will take you 15 minutes to go to the beach either taking a natural walk path or taking a trolley, which is not bad but if you have little kids, it gets too much going back and forth. Another bad thing is all the shows and activities are in the main building so you have to take a trolley again to get to the main area. If you have little kids and they need a nap, it gets super hard to take them back to the “preferred area” . I am not even sure why it’s called preferred. There is literally nothing preferred about it. There is only one restaurant there “portofino”, which is also a breakfast buffet area in the morning. You will not get the same experience as the people who stay in the main building. My suggestion is book directly through the resort to ensure that you stay close to the beach and activities. This “preferred area” feels a lot like a downgrade or subpar option of Dreams. Also, our rooms weren’t cleaned daily even though we left generous tip daily. For the price we paid, it shouldn’t have been an issue. As far as restaurants: The best service we got was at Seaside by the Grille. The food wasn’t the best but service was above and beyond. The worst service was at Fusion. The employees were super slow and for not being busy, the waiter ignored our requests. We had to ask random employees for our drinks and food. Market place buffet area was not good. Mexican place was ok. The whole experience we had no idea what activities were going on as all that was happening at the man building. They need to be more transparent about that extension that’s not exactly part of Dreams experience. One lady staying in the main building had a monkey land experience through amstar tours and we didn’t even know about this opportunity. That’s just tells you that how different they treat people from preferred section than the main building guests. As far as transport, we booked hqt through Viator and had zero problems unlike other bad experiences booked through resort.

Mar 27, 2026Great atmosphere
Great place and atmosphere for swimming and beach. Preferred is a must. Food is not great, I would say adequate at best. My kids ate a ton of ice cream.

Mar 27, 2026We will be back
We are repeat guests to this property, we did love it last time and this visit great as well. The quality of service, right from the smooth checking process with special requests being attended( Shout out to Arsimendy), to the helpful and smiling staff. Awesome food and drinks. everything was nice. We did not get a chance to enjoy the specialty restaurants. We had a toddler with us this time. The wait time was crazy, the guests should be allowed to book ahead, at least some of them. We thoroughly enjoyed the World cafe though. World Café. This was our only to go place for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner because of a toddler we had in the group. The buffet spread was really good, 60% of the menu was repeated. They were good so we really did not mind it. A feedback on the service, men are not allowed if they are wearing tank tops, REALLY, in an all inclusive beach resort!! Looking at what the girls wear in todays world this is gender discrimination. The hostess tried to fit 6 of us in a table of 4 and kept insisting that it was meant for 6 when half of the restaurant was empty(while she was adding chairs and covers). Another day we were shoved in a hot corner without any ac. All of this was done by the same person. Guess she did not like our faces. They servers were excellent, attentive happy and smiling. Blue Dorado: The bar did maintain the fun quotient. Jose and Stacey made it even better. Interlude: Interlude was our favorite spot though out, in our last visits and even this one. The staff has changed from last time but the quality of service has not. Hardworking and smiling staff. Shout Out to Gerson, Luis de la Cruz, Nahun & Franklin. Good Job Guys

Great stay for family and 21+ trips
Stayed on the Dreams (family) side but had access to Secrets for clubbing and restaurants. Very very clean property. Very beautiful. You felt like you were really in an escape. The smell...it smelled luxurious in the spaces and rooms. Bathroom had some peeling wallpaper but that's an easy fix. Beds were super comfy. Pillows as well. Restaurants were all great and nice variety so there is something for everyone. The staff really are super friendly. Everyone with a smile. I liked that a lot . I definitely would come back with the little one. We went during spring break so there were a lot of college kids there on family side as well but it was fun. They were all great and well behaved and added to the fun factor.

A spectacular experience
This was my first experience in the Caribbean. It was spectacular. The hotel was very nice and all of the food experiences were amazing. The proximity to the beach and the ocean was unbelievable. I would love to visit here again.
