Dreams Royal Beach Punta Cana

We just got back from a family stay at Dreams Royal Beach, and overall we had a really great time! The location is beautiful, the grounds are super clean and well-kept, and everything feels nicely maintained. It’s a great place to relax and enjoy the beach. A big shoutout to our Butler Billy — he was absolutely amazing! He set up a special local dinner for us, helped organize birthday celebrations, made reservations at restaurants so we did not have to wait and really went out of his way to make everything perfect. Huge thanks to David, Brandol and Nahum at Blue Dorado — they always had our first Bloody Mary ready to go, Icebergs waiting after that and the occasional Green Tea or MiniBeer shots. They also kept us entertained all day. Starlin became a good friend during our stay — my daughter really enjoyed all the great conversations with him during our trip. We also have to mention Alfredo and Daily at Portofino/Market Café — they always served with a smile and made us laugh. The only drawback is we only found them on the second part of our trip. Anyelina at Coco Café made the best coffee morning drinks and afternoon tea drinks. We stayed mostly at the pools. We did venture onto the beach one late morning only to be harassed by the local vendors. We could not walk from our chairs to the water without being approached by 3 separate vendors. This is not a fault of the resort and does not contribute to the rating above. We just make mention so no one is surprised. The only downside for us was the food — it was just okay, which was a little disappointing for a Dreams resort. We have been proud visitors of Dreams/Secrets for well over 10 years. The food generally lacked a luxury appeal and certainly lacked flavor. While service overall was great, we had one rough morning at World Café where we were seated without enough place settings and service was slow and inconsistent. However, this drove us to visit Market cafe, where we met Alfredo (see above). Other than that, we really enjoyed our stay and loved the people, the atmosphere, and the location. With a little improvement on the food side, this place would easily be a 5-star experience!

Loved our stay here! Beautiful pools and beaches, very clean and well-maintained. We stayed in the Preferred Club and Jose C was our butler. He was amazing! We were a group of 10 and he helped us immensely with all our needs. He checked in with us every morning and we loved seeing him throughout the day. The entertainment team - Tarzan, Vladimir, Brownie, Baby Face, Tony and more - we’re so much fun! We looked forward to their pool activities and seeing them later at night for the shows. We had great service by Raul at Tres Colores, Yelfy at Seaside Grill, Daily at Portofino and so many more. We loved the staff here!

From check-in to check-out, my experience at this hotel was exceptional. The front-desk staff were warm, welcoming, and efficient. My room was beautifully designed, immaculately clean, and equipped with all the amenities I needed for a comfortable stay. The animation team were very friendly,professional, specially Vladimir. The hotel facilities—especially the pool and the beach were modern and well maintained. The on-site restaurant served delicious meals with excellent service. This is truly one of the best hotel experiences I’ve had, and I will definitely return

We stayed 7 nights in the preferred club. Everything from the time we arrive until the time we left was wonderful. Our butler Yacaira was wonderful as well. The food was good all around except for the Asian and Mexican restaurants. We will definitely be returning to this resort. Out of all of the resorts I’ve stayed in this by far has been the best.

We have just returned from a weeks holiday from this fabulous hotel. We stayed in room 7211 in the Preferred Club area. This was a junior suite garden view, which was excellent. Well worth spending the extra money to be ‘preferred’ as you get more options where to eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner. You also benefit from a personal concierge. Jose was so good, very attentive and always very quick to respond to any message you sent him. The hotel is laid out really well and spread nicely to give you quite an exclusive feel. Having access to the preferred swim up pool, have you an option to have a quieter space and use of the pergola day beds. Good choice of restaurants and we didn’t have a bad meal, food was really good and a wide choice. We would definitely recommend and plan to visit again.
