Dreams Royal Beach Punta Cana

We were so impressed with the friendly staff, clean amenities and quality. We just returned 2 weeks prior from a trip to Maui at an upscale condo but not all inclusive. We were blown away with what was all included as a preferred member. We left with a bill for $35 for a beach casita rental! Food was good, clean, very nice amenities. Just wonderful

We visited with extended family (ages 12-78) for a week and everyone had a really great time. The property itself is beautiful, with the bridge back to the preferred section a huge highlight (we never got tired of walking it with all of the animals and the lights at night). There were lively sections, but never felt too crowded and easy to find quieter spaces to lounge. Both the pool and the beach were great locations for all ages. Huge shoutout to David H at Tres Colores, who went out of his way multiple times to make our dining experience memorable (especially for one of our family members with celiac). And huge shoutout to Marcelo, who was one of the most present, fun, and helpful concierges we have ever had at an all-inclusive.

We were pleasantly surprised with how we loved this hotel. We took our 10 and 6 year old and they had a great time. It was clean, the staff was friendly, the rooms were large enough for us, the night entertainment was great! They had a variety of restaurants, buffets and little cafes to eat and drink at. The pool side entertainment was fun and the drinks were flowing. I would highly recommend this hotel!

We came here hoping for the best, but having been burned by AIs before planning for the worst. We were happily surprised by how good this place was. From when we arrived (and 30 minutes from the airport when there's no traffic is convenient), to when we left (hint - if it's Carnaval leave an hour before you think you want to leave!) it was nothing but a great time. We stayed in the new preferred section, where you can take a shuttle or a 5 minute walk to the rest of the resort. The walk over the bridge is great! Lots of animals to see, and it's just peaceful. The food was generally better than expected. Granted, I would have preferred more local cuisine (I mean why travel to another country to eat food you have at home?) but overall was pretty good - even the teppanyaki which is usually overly salty was done well. Have you ever been to a resort where you felt like just another number, where they pretended to care? This wasn't that. From Raul in Portofino to Samuel at the front, from Rayphin and Emmanuel at Blue Dorado to Marcelo (our Concierge), everyone knew us and was always friendly. While it may have helped (a little) to speak even a little Spanish, it wasn't completely necessary. We would go back here tomorrow if we could, you should go too!

Our concierge, Marcelo, was the best! He was so attentive to all of our needs and checked in daily. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The rooms and grounds were beautiful. My only recommendation is that if you want Preferred Club AND to be close to restaurants and the beach, choose the Preferred Club level and request ocean view so that you are not given a room at the front of the resort. The golf cart transportation was supposed to be every 5 minutes, but we had several 20 minute waits. That said, we often chose to take the beautiful 10 minute nature walk from our Preferred building that included a boardwalk over water and the walk was a daily highlight. We stayed at the Excellence last December and would choose to return to Dreams Royal Beach if we are given an opportunity to return to Punta Cana.
