Dreams Royal Beach Punta Cana

Will be traveling here again has the perfect combination of food and hospitality. Definitely five stars Also the entertainment is out of this world

This was my family's first experience at an all-inclusive resort and Dreams Royal Beach Punta Cana did not disappoint - fantastic experience. We did not upgrade to the premier member status to get upgraded drinks and perks - we did not experience any long wait lines to restaurants or delays in service. Key Highlights: The staff (especially at the kids pool/slide area - waitresses were amazing and on-point), the beach, Explorer's/Kids' Club amenity & staff, the restaurants, and the relaxation...don't hesitate, book today! Our accommodations: We booked a two bed w/tropical view room and was surprised on the amount of space in the room. The room was cleaned daily, we had fresh towels and restocked of water & beverages (both alcoholic and kid-friendly), and our beds were made and pressed. The beds and couch were pretty comfortable. Restaurants and buffet: During our stay, we had majority of our meals at either the buffet (for breakfast) or the beach grill; every night we had dinner at one of the restaurants on the resort. - For breakfast, the omelet station was delicious. The assortment and variety was also impressive. We did do room service a couple times during our stay and our kids loved the experience - the fruit was freshly cut and the eggs were made to order. So i if you like sunny side up or scrambled (like how you'd make it at home), I'd recommend the room service - For lunch, we ate all of our meals at either the Panini Station next to the kids pool (ham and cheese panini were a hit with our kids) or Beach Grill (perfect for burgers, fries, fruit, etc.) - both were super quick and the quality was great. - For dinner, we at a different restaurant each night - would recommend arriving between 5:45 - 6:30pm, otherwise, there will be a line. I would definitely go back to these restaurants, in priority order: - Seaside Grill (Seafood and Steak) - awesome steaks and fish entrees - Tres Colores (Mexican) - food and drinks were delicious - Fusion (Japanese Fusion) - hibachi experience (make reservations with the concierge) was cool and food was decent. At the main restaurant, the food was ok. - Portofino (Italian) - the pasta was good, the salad buffet was great! ***Expectations on the food - I've read many reviews where folks were disappointed by the quality of their meal. I would encourage everyone to view it as going to their local restaurants or grilling the food at home - the quality is on that level. Pools, Ocean, Beach, and Chairs: We stayed at the kids pool area because of the slides - our kids loved them. The age range of the kids that we traveled with were between 5 - 9 years old and all of them loved the slides at the kids pool and the beach. At the other pools around the resort, it was almost impossible to get pool chairs because other guests would be out bright and early (before 6:30am) to put their towels or pool stuff down to reserve/lock down the chairs. So if you want to try and get a spot along the lazy river or back pool, you'll need to get up early and get your towels out before breakfast. For the lazy river, bring a floaty. The hotel does not have any floating devices to rent and buying a donut floaty will cost roughly $40 USD. At the beach, we did not have any issues finding chairs to put our stuff on and relaxing - if you want chairs closer to the front, you will need to get there shortly before breakfast, but otherwise, plenty of chairs to choose from. The sargassum was present on the beach, but the staff around did a great job daily to minimize it. The ocean was great and the kids spent hours each day in the water. Explorer's/Kid's Club: This was probably the best part of our trip - being able to drop our kids off for a few hours to enjoy some adult time or to have dinner. The staff did a great job at keeping the kids engaged, doing different/new activities daily to make sure the kids were having fun, and our kids made friends that they played with during our stay. During drop-off, we received a phone and the staff would contact us if they need anything. This was by far the best perk of our trip and we really appreciated the staff! Nightly entertainment: Every night there were shows on the main stage to get guests up on their feet! The shows that we really enjoyed and would recommend are: - Queen concert - Rock concert - Circus show on the beach My family plans to return to Punta Cana and we will definitely book Dreams Royal Beach Resort again.

We had a wonderful time at Dreams Royal Beach Punta Cana. This was a family and friends trip with 3 generations of people attending from age 7 to age 70. Also 2 of us were celebrating our birthdays. Our Personal Concierge Mayker was awesome. He communicated with us and sought us out everyday to ensure all our needs were taken care of. He ensured special treatment in room and in restaurants on our birthdays. The staff through out the resort were pleasant and helpful.. Most of us were in Preferred Club, which, I would recommend for all. If you want peace and quiet, then stay in that newer preferred section of the resort. If you want more of the action or to be closer to the beach, stay in the Preferred Club of the main section of the resort. Secrets was right next door for the spa and workout services. Secrets had really nice shows at night (In my opinion, nicer that Dreams). It is a very short walk away or you can get a cart shuttle. The staff for the shuttle were not always the best, but all the other staff were very good. Food at the French restaurant was good and the Japenese restaurant was entertaining. The other restaurants were OK.

its a beautiful place! just not as baby friendly as you would think, it was hard to get around with a stroller and our room was close to the lobby so when they played loud music you could hear it through the room while babies were sleeping. so maybe ask for a room closer to the beach away from the lobby!

This place is fabulous! The beach,pools, restaurants!!! Everything! The service is top notch and the friendliest staff! Tip or no tip everyone gets the best service. We thought the food was great! The buffet is on the smaller side but you’ll find a great variety. The French restaurant is a must!!! I have to mention the staff! I’ll return simply for the staff they are the heartbeat of this resort! The coco cafe in the lobby has some fantastic iced coffees and pretty good cappuccinos. Never a chair shortage. Beach or pool always something available. Now for the only complaint, we did not always have maid service. One day the room was not touched. Heard a few other guests with the same issue. We didn’t complain and if we had I’m sure they would have addressed it. Others called not sure how they made out. It was late and we didn’t want to wait on service. Some nights there was turn down service and fresh towels but that only happened twice. I should mention we did not book the “preferred” section and the issues with room cleaning seemed to be in NON preferred section.
