Dreams Royal Beach Punta Cana

Had a fantastic stay, room, food, beach, entertainment and staff were all 1st class. Some takeaways- - We stayed in the 7000 building. The 7000 and 5000 buildings ( Both Preferred Club) are near the front of the resort , all actual 2 room suites with balconies or patios, some have mini pools. The rooms were large and spotless. The good, it’s quieter and this is almost a “mini” resort with its own restaurant/buffet, coffee shop and pools. All excellent. The bad is that it’s about 15 min from the beach. There are shuttles and a nice walkway over a lake. Consider booking in the main part of the resort near the beach, these are not suites, but still large and very nice. - Restaurants were all good, the buffets were huge. We thought the food ordered off the menus was a touch better. Careful, it’s easy to gain 10lbs in a week! (May want to bring some loose fitting clothes lol) - The beach-excellent, clean and a gradual slope into the water. Waiters will bring drinks to your chair. The hotel has floating booms about 150yds from shore, keeps the boats and some of the seaweed away from the swimming area. If you want front row loungers you need to be up early and mark them with towels/beach bags. Plenty of palm trees and Palapas for shade. - Electrical outlets- power is US 120v but there are only a couple of recepticals in the rooms and they are singles. Bring a power strip. There is a receptical in the bathroom for hair dryers. - Transport from the airport. We booked this thru the hotel, they use a company called Amstar. When we arrived Amstar did not have our booking, they had not received one from the hotel. They took care of us any way (+ for Amstar) but it took a while for them to get us a van to the resort. Once at the resort we spent the week trying to get this sorted. The hotel was of little help, and refused to take any responsibility for the foul up. - We eventually contacted Amstar and they sorted it out. Amstar had never received our booking from the hotel. Once sorted the return was excellent, Amstar was great, nice van, on time, good driver. So, use caution when having the hotel book anything extra, may be best to book it yourself. Amstar was good, we’ve also used Punta Cana Mike.

Staff were so friendly!! Especially Ambi, Yery, and Vladimir!! We would come back just for them!! :))

Had a great time...can't remember his name but he referred to himself as the man with the briefcase...he seemed to be everywhere. Such a joy to see him every day because of his personality

Just come back from an amazing 10 nights at this resort. The room was lovely, very clean everywhere you go. Staff are so friendly and happy all day everyday. Only tried the Fusion and Mexican restaurants which were both good and a nice change from the buffet. The buffet had a good choice but a-bit repetitive and also not that hot. Entertainment was also good although didn’t do the beach party or circus. Did get badly bitten which I guess was mosquitos didn’t see any about but possibly got these in the evening whilst sitting near the greenery at the entertainment. Pools all looked inviting however we are beach people so spent our 10 days on the beautiful beach, possibly the best beach I have ever been to. We enjoyed the walk over the bridge to the new preferred section seeing various wildlife. We would recommend this resort to family and friends and would like to try other Dream resorts in the future.

My wife and I went to sandles last year so we had low expectations. Dreams royal beach was much better and half the price! I would highly recommend giving this location a try . You will not be disappointed!
