Feb 12, 2026Dreams Vallarta Bay is a good destination
We had some issues at check-in as the initial room (loud HVAC unit next to the door) so assigned a new room. That room was much better location with no noise, but had not been restocked for new guest with amenities. We had to call to get that taken care of. Room was 1561 with beautiful ocean view as all rooms are at this resort. It cleaned routinely and towels promptly exchanged. After our initial issues with the mini-bar and coffee center, we were stocked daily and extra water was left which we appreciated very much. Overall, the food at every restaurant was very good! We enjoyed every meal and the service staff was excellent! Our first and last meals were at Castaways with Jasmin and Eduardo serving us – all of the ceviche was fantastic and so was the whole fried fish. The Mexican restaurant was delicious, Roberto took good care of us and having table side guacamole made by Israel was a superb addition. Tamarind was fun sitting in the sunken table and we met the fabulous Sandra! She was so much fun and we had the pleasure of seeing her again at the buffet and while she serviced as private event…she is fantastic. The buffet was good (excellent green juice), but the staff was wonderful. Special thanks to Andres for providing my husband a shirt (cover his sleeveless shirt) one morning and the pleasant greeter Glendenith. Dreams Preferred Bar is not that spectacular as its in an odd setting almost like an after thought but the bartender was great and made good drinks! Beach is where we spent our time and not the pools. Alfonso was the best server – he was constantly checking on us and never missed a beat. Bring water shoes as the beach is rocky and has strong currents at times. The only negative about the beach is the constant vendors coming up, but that is not the resort's doing! As for the evening entertainment most shows were held in the lobby, were enjoyable and one evening included an awesome Mariachi band. We enjoy the pre-history Mayan cultural dance show held in the amphitheater. This resort is close to the airport (a bonus) and easy walk to shops around the area. We took an Uber downtown to Malicon (seaside promenade) and spent a day in PV - it is worth going to visit.

Most Amazing Wedding Week!
My husband and I booked our Wedding and stay at Dreams Vallarta Bay, and had the most incredible experience! From the very start, I knew the Dreams Vallarta Bay was the PERFECT location for us. It was beautiful, looked fun, and had an amazing Weddng Venue and package. When planning our wedding, Livier Cortes, our wedding planner, made the experience so special and so customized to US and what WE loved. She was so warm, friendly, and informative. There was absolutely zero stress in planning this wedding thanks to Livier, and the Dreams Vallarta Bay team! From Livier, to our videographer, Alfredo, my make-up and hair stylist in the Secrets Spa, Monica, the DJ, to all the staff and bartenders....it was a true dream that came together! So grateful for everyone who helped make our wedding so special and so memorable! If you are looking for an amazing wedding location, or even an unforgettable vacation, you HAVE to choose Dreams/Secrets Vallarta Bay!

Excellent value for the price.
We had a great experience at Dreams Vallarta Bay. The food was better than anticipated, the drinks were great, and the evening entertainment was enjoyable. We’ve stayed at other Dreams resorts before, such as Dreams Sands in Cancun, and this experience was by far better than that one. The ocean can be a bit aggressive at times due to the tides, but it was still swimmable. Bring water shoes if you’re sensitive to rocky areas near the shore. Overall, for what we paid, it was a great experience. I would highly recommend it if you’re looking for an affordable place to stay with good vibes.
