Dreams Macao Beach Punta Cana

Great week, buffet food experience could be improved

belle semaine, expérience nourriture buffet pourrait être améliorés

Very nice hotel. Helpful, warm, and professional staff. We LOVED our family experience. Beautiful beach, but the waves are strong; very little seaweed on the beach. I highly recommend it.

Très bel hôtel
Personnel serviable, chaleureux et professionnel
Nous avons ADORÉ notre expérience en famille
Belle plage mais les vagues sont fortes, très peu d'algues sur la plage
Je recommande fortement

We stayed there for 7 days. Swim-out privilege room, block #4. Room: Clean. Comfortable. As the days went by, housekeeping became increasingly delayed. But it was done well. For the last 3 days, the room was cleaned between 3 and 4 pm. At 5:15 pm, the evening housekeeper was knocking to prepare for the night. There was no consistency in replenishing items like washcloths or the minibar. There didn't seem to be a standard restocking schedule. You get chips and M&Ms on arrival. You won't get any more after that. On departure, we left our cell phone chargers in the room. 20 minutes later, we went back and had the door opened: the chargers had vanished and no one had seen them. Yet, the valet came by and a maintenance worker was applying sealant in the bathroom. So, at least two people could have taken these items. Due to its location, the room was directly overlooking the public square, and the music festival was blaring, with weddings, bar entertainment, and lobby shows. Early bedtime was impossible despite the traffic. Loud music until 10:00 AM Quebec time. Swim out. The pool always had a lot of dead leaves at the bottom. But the temperature was pleasant. The resort is stunning. Well-suited for young families and people with reduced mobility. Everything is close by. This is the downside, since everything happens outdoors and the music competes with each other, especially in the evening, as mentioned earlier. The staff is fantastic. Polite, efficient, and attentive. If you need something or have a problem in your room, they respond in a flash. In less than 15 minutes, the repairs to our door were done. Wow! The privilege section on the beach offered incredible service from Willy Wonka and Francesca. The little cold washcloths with eucalyptus oil, the lunch box delivered to your chair—simply amazing. A 3.5 km beach with magnificent waves. A little seaweed, but swimmable. Surfers and kiteboarders will love it. It's a beautiful place with stunning scenery. A whirlwind of weddings. Wow! Not one was the same. It really seems to be a specialty. A festival of young families everywhere. The staff were very attentive to families. From the outside, it looked perfect. Basically, for the two of us, the lively evenings with such a high level of cacophonous decibels didn't suit our needs. The theft of our luggage upon departure put us off returning. But I repeat, it's a very beautiful resort, with good service, in a sublime location. It all depends on what you need. For us, it was a desperate need for complete rest.

Nous y avons séjourné 7jours.
Chambre swim out privilège bloc #4.

Chambre : Propre. Confortable.
Plus les jours passent, plus l'entretien ce fait tard. Mais bien fait. Les 3 derniers jours, la chambre à été faite entre 15h et 16h. A 17h15 la fille de chambre de soir cognait pour faire la préparation pour la nuit.
Aucune constance du remplacement des éléments utilisés comme les débarbouillettes ou le minibar. Il ne semble pas y avoir de standard de remplissage. Tu as des chips et des M&M à l'arrivée. Tu n'en auras pas d'autre après
Au départ, nous avons oublié nos charges de cellulaire dans la chambre. 20 minutes plus tard, nous sommes retourné et fait ouvrir: les charges s'étaient volatilisées et personne ne les a vues. Pourtant, le valet est passé et un ouvrier fait du scellant dans la salle de bain. Y a donc au moins 2 personnes potentielles qui ont pris ces choses.
La chambre de par sa situation géographique était directement sur la place publique et le festival de la musique à tue tête r/a mariages , animation du bar et show du lobby. Couche tôt : impossible malgré des bouchons. Musique forte jusqu'à 10h heure du Québec.
Swim out. La piscine avait toujours beaucoup de feuilles mortes au fond. Mais la température agréable.

Le site est sublime.
Bien adapté pour les jeunes familles, les personnes à mobilité réduite. Tout est proche. C'est l'inconvénient puisque tout se passe dehors et les musiques se compétionnent en écho surtout le soir comme cité précédemment.

Le personnel est génial. Polis, efficace, au petit soins. Tu as besoin de quelque chose ou tu as un bris dans ta chambre, ils te répondent à une vitesse éclair. En moins de 15 minutes les travaux sur notre porte était faits. Wow!
La section privilège sur la plage, service incroyable de Willy Wonka et Francesca. La petite débarbouillettes froide à l'huile d'eucalyptus, la boite à lunch livrée à ta chaise. Juste incroyable.
Plage de 3.5 km avec de magnifiques vagues. Un Peu d'algues, mais baignable. Surfer, amateur de kite. C'est une belle place avec un sublime paysage.

Un feu roulant de mariage. Wow! Pas un d'eux était pareil. Ça semble vraiment une spécialité.
Festival des jeunes familles partout. Le personnel était très attentif aux familles. De l'extérieur ça semblait parfait.

En gros, pour nous deux les soirées animées avec un si haut niveau de décibels cacophoniques ne correspondait pas à notre besoin. Le vol de nos charges à notre départ nous a enlevé le goût d'y retourner.

Mais je le répète, c'est un très beau resort, avec un bon service, dans un secteur sublime. Tout dépend de votre besoin. Nous c'était un besoin criant de grand repos.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ TripAdvisor Review — Dreams Macao Beach Punta Cana
We’re an older couple traveling without children, and we come to all-inclusive resorts for one thing: quiet relaxation. We spend our days reading in the privacy of a swim-out pool, so our review focuses on the room, food, service, and overall atmosphere—not entertainment, nightlife, or the beach.
We stayed in a Preferred Master Swim-Out Suite, and it was excellent. The room was large, spotless, very comfortable, and—importantly for a swim-out—there was no musty smell at all. The private pool was exactly that: private and perfect for reading. The only downside was the room’s location right beside the main pools, which meant loud party music on a constant loop every afternoon. That said, the room’s soundproofing was very good, and even with the music outside, our afternoon naps were never interrupted.
Food and drinks were fine, and the presentation was consistently very good.
• The Japanese restaurant was easily our favourite.
• The French restaurant was also very good.
• The only real miss was the Italian restaurant, where both the food quality and the very noisy atmosphere were disappointing. The night we visited, the staff seemed to be dealing with some sort of internal issue, which added to the chaos. When we decided to leave and go to the buffet instead, the maître d’ chased us down and tried to convince us to return, which felt a bit odd.
Service throughout the resort was excellent. Staff were friendly, warm, and attentive. The butler service was the best we’ve experienced anywhere—helpful without hovering, which we appreciated as low-maintenance guests.
A few mosquitos here and there, but nothing unusual for the tropics and never a real issue.
The only real negative was the aggressive timeshare pitch at check-in. In the Preferred Lounge, staff who appeared to be part of the check-in team took our passports and had us sign multiple forms to receive “vouchers,” which turned out to be a timeshare presentation setup. We were tired after traveling and didn’t catch on right away.
I’ve said this before in my reviews, and it applies here as well: I don’t understand the marketing strategy behind the paid wine lists. The prices are extremely high for the bottles on offer, far beyond what makes sense even with typical resort markups. The house wine is fine but nothing special for anyone who enjoys wine. The markup on the paid list is enormous, to the point of being completely out of step with the wine’s actual value.
Overall we had an excellent stay: great specialty dining (especially Japanese), superb butler service, a quiet and comfortable room, and the private, relaxing environment we look for.

It's impossible to exchange Canadian and US dollars for pesos at the hotel; you have to use an ATM. It's not a problem, but the machine only dispenses 1000 pesos, and it's not possible to exchange those 1000 pesos for smaller bills at the hotel counter unless you're lucky and get a waiter. A major drawback.

Il est impossible à l'hôtel de changer $ canadien et américain en pesos faut passer guichet automatique pas trouble mais le guichet donne juste des 1000 pesos et pas possible de changer les 1000 en petite coupure au comptoir de l'hôtel çi on est chanceux avec serveur gros bémols
