Overall, my stay at the resort was better than I expected after reading some reviews. The location was beautiful, with nice views and a peaceful atmosphere, and the staff were generally friendly. However, the resort lacks organized activities and entertainment, which made for some dull evenings. Dining options were quite limited, especially during lunch and without a buffet, which could be frustrating over a longer stay.

The room we had was clean but quite dated, with some minor issues like missing towels and a hairdryer. The floor was convenient for access, but I felt it could use some updates.

The resort's location adjacent to the rainforest was lovely, providing beautiful views and a tranquil environment. However, accessing the nearby town at night felt unsettling due to the darkness.

I recently had a family vacation at Dreams Playa Bonita, and overall, it was a memorable experience. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate us, especially after a rocky start with our room situation. The amenities were plentiful, but I did find the evening entertainment lacking in variety. The cuisine was generally good, although some inconsistencies with service at the bars reminded me that improvements could be made. All things considered, we enjoyed our stay and appreciated the beautiful scenery.

Initially, we had some issues with our room assignment, but Mr. Batista quickly resolved the situation, and the ocean view rooms we were moved to were spacious and comfortable.
Service

The service was mostly excellent, particularly from Mr. Batista and his colleague Victor, who offered outstanding support during our stay. However, the bar service could be improved for a more seamless experience.
Location

The hotel's location is stunning, right by the beach with gorgeous ocean views, but getting chairs with shade required some early mornings due to limited availability.

The dining options were enjoyable, with several standout restaurants. However, I did find some inconsistency in the quality of food between the different venues.
Facilities

The amenities, particularly the pools and the private lounge, were well-maintained and pleasant. The entertainment offerings could be more varied and longer in duration.

The resort has a beautiful setting and well-maintained grounds, but the dining options and service leave much to be desired. While the rooms are spacious and comfortable, the overall experience is marred by slow service and inconsistent food quality. For the price, I expected a lot more, especially from a resort spa.
Rooms

The room was nice enough, comfortable, but lacked a hairdryer. It wasn't made up when we returned after an afternoon tour.
Service

Service was hit or miss. Some staff members were helpful, but overall it felt like they were untrained and not attentive enough to guest needs.

Our stay was a mix of highs and lows. The property itself is beautiful, especially the ocean views, and we enjoyed the pool and grounds. However, the service was lacking, particularly in terms of responsiveness and dining quality, which didn't meet our expectations for an all-inclusive experience. While we made some wonderful family memories, I can't say I'd recommend this resort without noting the significant service and dining issues.
Rooms
7.0
We stayed in a preferred club room on the 3rd floor, which offered a nice ocean view. However, I was disappointed to find there was no hair dryer provided, and the fact that all rooms seemed very similar made the upgrade feel less special.
Service
5.0
The staff we encountered were friendly, but we often found ourselves having to hunt them down for help. Even basic requests took longer than they should have, making the service feel inconsistent at best.
Location
8.0
The location is fantastic, right on the beach with beautiful views. However, the resort lacks enough seating on the beach, which was a letdown for a beach destination.
Dining
5.0
Dining was hit and miss. The buffet was often unappetizing, with poorly prepared food, though we did enjoy our meals at the Italian restaurant. It was frustrating to have such variance in quality.
Facilities
6.0
The facilities, particularly the pool area and grounds, were well-kept but needed more attention to detail, such as keeping the pool clean and ensuring there were adequate beach towels available.

While the hotel boasts a stunning location with beautiful views and nice amenities, there are significant issues with service and dining that detract from the overall experience. The rooms are comfortable but tend to have cleanliness issues. It's worth mentioning that the beach is also less than ideal. If you can manage your expectations and approach the stay with a positive mindset, you might enjoy your time here.
