Okay, our 36th anniversary.......Sept.14- 21st,08. Went last year and greeted with cool towels and champagne! ( No more champagne or towels.) Met the General Mgr. Mr Tirado. now we booked 7 nights again out of LAX. We called 2 times long distance asked if there were any renovations or changes, they said no........we only changed the bedding in the main building and we are done. We e-mailed Mr. Tirado and said our 'Special day ' was our reason for the trip and HE promised to get us a great room. Which he did, it was very nice.......a plate of fruit and a bottle of bubbly!!!!! That's not the point, we check in and the guy at front said sorry but the WHOLE building next door is CLOSED, the SEASIDE oceanfront rest. CLOSED, the SPORTS BAR, CLOSED for good. The Snack bar on the beach CLOSED. BAR on the Beach CLOSED, had to call Mgmt. for drinks! PLEASE understand we only expected at least the same as last year.........Now for $2,000 grand wouldn'T you ???????

NOw the great part was my husband and I tried to make the best of our trip. In fact we even got to meet the HGTV star KIM MYLES and her hubby SCOTT.....We sent them a botlle of champagne (Carlos, Mgr.) helped us out.! (Designer lady, of show "Myles of Style") ALL the employees go way way beyond the call of duty to make you happy, most of them remembering us from last year. We Tip' very well even though tips are included, we even were invited to the home of one of the bartenders!!!!!! We tookd him to lunch outside on his day off. Now come on ......Can't the Mgmt. make it nicer for the patrons???? You know my husband and I are retired and lived on a very limeted budget...........we saved all year for this trip and we feel that al the very least they should have told the TRUTH,,,,,,,,maybe we could of went at a later date! Now our best freinds are going in 2 weeks and have no idea, we tried to explain but ???? that's 5 people........Ok write me if you need more info....the emplyees are the GREATEST......

My wife and I came here for our honeymoon. This place was fantastic, rooms were clean and the food was excellent. During the month of september they have turtle releasing which was awesome. Everyday they have a new drink of the day, whether it be alcoholic or non. There service staff was very friendly and helpful and the room service food was actually quite good. There are plenty of activities going on all day long. I recommend this place highly i will be staying there again in the future

So there are some good and not so good things about the dreams resort in PV, so let's start with the good. The location is fantastic, only a $5 cab ride to town, so while the all inclusive option is great, I still like to go to town and explore which was a very easy and quick thing to do.

At the resort itself, the common areas were nice, restaurants, pool, and beach were all very nice. The buffet was especially good for breakfast and lunch. The pool and beach were comfortable places to lay in the sun, no problems there.

The down side, number one the service left a little to be desired. they weren't exactly waiting by to bring you another drink at the pool, had a bit of attitude by some, not all, of the wait staff at the bars, and in the evening foud it difficult to find drinks / food outside of room service. The rooms themselves were a bit run down and out of date, though one of the towers was closed completely wihle they remodeled so seems they are doing the right things to spruce up the place.

All in all a decent place, service was probably the biggest issue, but I would stay again as the location was perfect.

Visited Dreams for 8 days in September 2008.

First off, regarding the location-I was unaware how rainy it really was during Low - Season. It rained all day for 5 out of the 8 days and rained for at least 3 hours each day on the other days. It was also EXTREMELY hot. Humidity was next to unbearable. Which played a part in the overall comfort level of the rooms. I am sure this also played a part in my view of the overall trip.

The hotel is very dated and was unaware that half of the resort was being renovated during our stay. Pools are old, rooms are plaster, and the beach is just okay.

Service is fantastic. Drinks are always plentiful and only a second away. Wait staff is friendly and generous.

The three restaurants in the resort are all good. Oceana, the seafood place, was our favorite. Entertainment is seriously lacking in the evenings, compared to previous all inclusive trips.

Daily activities are fun with a great Entertainment team. Yoga and Water Aerobics are daily which is nice if you plan to try to even out the calories.

I gave this resort overall two stars because while the staff was great, the entire resort was really sub-par to what APPLE Vacations rated it. And I have used APPLE many times. I was disappointed.
