Dreams Royal Beach Punta Cana

We stayed at Dreams Royal Beach Punta Cana from September 14–21, 2026, for seven nights. It was my husband, myself, and our 17-year-old son, and overall we had a wonderful vacation. We stayed at Dreams Royal Beach Punta Cana from September 14–21, 2026, for seven nights. It was my husband, our 17-year-old son, and myself and overall we had a wonderful vacation. We stayed in Preferred Club Master Suite with Private Pool, room 7135, and honestly, the room was amazing. It was an end unit, so it felt very private and peaceful. Having our own pool was such a treat, and the room itself was clean, spacious and beautiful. One of our favourite features was the outdoor jet Jacuzzi tub. The food was actually very good. My husband and I are frequent all-inclusive travellers, especially in the Punta Cana area, and one piece of advice we always give people is not to be afraid to order more than one thing. Portions at all-inclusive can sometimes be on the smaller side, so we often order two appetizers and two mains each. If we really want to try a few things, we will even order three. We usually let our server know what we are doing, and nobody ever had an issue with it. It is all-inclusive, enjoy it! Sometimes you will love something and sometimes you won't, so ordering a few different things means you're much less likely to be disappointed with your dinner. The service was excellent, and we definitely tip for good service. We want to give a huge shout-out to our butler, Martin. He was absolutely amazing from the minute we arrived until the minute we checked out. He was attentive, helpful and genuinely made our stay easier. Another big shout-out to Raya, one of the servers at the Preferred Club pool bar. She was wonderful and really took care of us. She would often come out to our private pool to bring us drinks, which was such a nice touch. The bartender Yuni at was so much fun! He had such a great personality and always made stopping at the bar enjoyable. We also want to mention the manger at the Preferred Club Lounge. Unfortunately I can't remember his name. We had one small issue during our stay with the jets in the outdoor jacuzzi tub not working properly. It really was not a huge deal, but our butler Martin brought it to the manager's attention, and the manager went above and beyond to make things right. We really appreciated how seriously they took it and how they handled the situation. The grounds are beautiful, the pools are gorgeous, everything is clean, and there are bars and food options everywhere. The entertainment was also very good. We only made it out to the evening entertainment one night, but we really enjoyed it. The drinks were good, and the water slides were a lot of fun. Something that was especially important to us was how accommodating everyone was with our son, who is autistic. He doesn't always want to go to restaurants in the evening, and the staff were incredibly understanding. They offered to have pretty much anything he wanted from the available menus sent to our room. That meant a lot to us and made the vacation much less stressful as a family. One thing we highly recommend is getting one of the beach cabanas for the day. We stayed at Secrets the year before and had a beach cabana there, so we decided to do one again at Dreams Royal Beach. It was absolutely stunning and such a relaxing way to spend the day. Of course, like anywhere, you're going to occasionally come across someone who isn't quite as enthusiastic or chatty as you might expect. We didn't take any of that personally. Everyone has a bad day sometimes, and overall the service we received was fantastic. We've stayed at a number of all-inclusive resorts, particularly in Punta Cana, and Dreams Royal Beach definitely gave us a great family vacation. Beautiful property, great pools, good food, excellent service, fun activities, and a staff that genuinely seemed to care about making our stay enjoyable. We would absolutely recommend Dreams Royal Beach to families looking for a great Punta Cana vacation. We had a fantastic seven nights and would happily come back!

Everything was great except the food. All of the food, even the specialty restaurant food was mediocre. Plenty to drink, plenty of uncrowded pools.

We Loved Dreams Royal. The Swim out room was an upgrade for my husband and I. The view from the room was flush with beautiful plants and greenery all over. The beach was gorgeous and the ocean easy to walk into. The individuals that gave exceptional service were Reye from house keeping. Nelson M. from the On A Roll restaurant and pizzeria. The pizza was oh so good. Miquelini from The Market cafe was welcoming and friendly. We also enjoyed making a stop at the Dolce Cafe where all members of staff were great. The food was good but definitely had room for improvement.

Got back home a couple days ago. Firstly this was definitely one of the nicest resorts we’ve ever been to. Not sure what capacity the resort was at but you never felt cramped or that it was too busy especially by the preferred pool. We initially booked room 7105 which was a Junior suite pool terrace room in the preferred section however it simply didn’t suit us with our 10 month old who is a light sleeper so we chatted to our butler Michael who sorted us out a move to room 7204 which was a family room which had a separate bedroom which suited us much better. Our 10 month old has severe allergies to most common foods however as a result the staff went above and beyond in catering for him by cooking fillets of salmon, fish or chicken for him for dinner, also by providing ingredients to make our own food in the room. Jenipher the allergy concierge was especially amazing in this area. There was a hiccup one of the nights where they provided a food he reacted to however it was soon sorted so much so they gave us a free cabana one day which was lovely 🥰 We didn’t try the buffet but ate at Portofino most days. Fusion was some of the best food we’ve had at an all inclusive especially the Tepinyaki experience. Seaside grill was very nice as well as the shack serving burgers and hotdogs. The Mexican was a bit hit and miss partly down to the fact there was no AC so was extremely hot. We wasn’t impressed with the French “Mercure” partly as that’s where our son had his reaction but because the menu wasn’t that appealing. The bars were all very good with very generous measures. If you tip the bartenders here and there certain ones will remember you and look after you. Didn’t know there was a turn down service until the second to last day when it was offered so that was very hit and miss. Either offer it every night or don’t at all. What I would say is in other resorts we’ve stayed in the maids would leave chocolates on the bed and slippers on the floor, maybe the occasional rose petals on the bed, just little touches not just changing the towels. The entertainment was a little subdued. The circus and bbq on the beach was the highlight. We went to the entertainment in the main plaza and where on other holidays it would would go on till 11pm and further by 10pm half of the guests had left and things were toned right down but it didn’t really affect us as we went back to the room by 10pm. The grounds are constantly maintained and well kept and all members of staff are very polite and are brilliant with kids. Although there was a bit of sargasm on the beach everyday we was there a tractor was going up and down clearing it all up. Negatives- Most of the resort is buggy friendly however in the old part if you want to walk to the beach you have to walk through all the bottom floor of the buildings to get to the beach unless you want to carry the buggy over bridges, not anything major just not very picturesque. Nearly all of the staff are very friendly and will do anything to help you but we came across some that clearly were after a tip no matter what they did. Took a walk outside the resort however there was nothing around and although didn’t feel unsafe there wasn’t any other tourists walking around like there would be in some places so you stood out like a sore thumb.

Great Hotel ,clean, friendly , responsive. No problem getting sunbeds or queuing for meals but it was a quieter time. The Beach was wonderful apart from the sargassum which was cleared every morning. Service was great.
