Dreams Macao Beach Punta Cana Resort & Spa

We had an amazing family vacation at Dreams Macao Beach Punta Cana! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by how beautiful the resort is. The beach is absolutely stunning, the pools are gorgeous, and the entire property is very well maintained. We stayed in a swim-out room, and it was definitely worth it—we loved having our own pool access right outside our patio. The resort is especially great for families. There was always something for our son to do, from the water park and pools to the daily activities and nightly entertainment. The arcade was a plus for something to do at night as well but it is extremely small. He had an incredible time, which made our vacation even more enjoyable. We upgraded to Preferred Club, and the beach and pool service was excellent. A special thank you to our butler, Omar, who went above and beyond throughout our stay. He was incredibly friendly, attentive, and always available to help with anything we needed. He truly made our vacation even more enjoyable. Some of our favorite things were the delicious iced coffees from the café, the fish tacos from the food truck (don't miss them!), and the spa, which was absolutely amazing and one of the highlights for me! Every evening there was fun entertainment that gave us something to look forward to after dinner. There were a few downsides, but none of them were enough to take away from what was an incredible vacation. At check-in, you'll immediately be approached about attending a vacation club/timeshare presentation, which wasn't our favorite way to start the trip. There were also vendors walking around parts of the resort trying to sell excursions or souvenirs, which could be a little annoying at times. If you enjoy taking excursions, keep in mind that many of the popular ones require a fairly long drive from the resort. Also, be prepared to wait during peak dinner hours at some of the specialty restaurants, as they don't take reservations and the lines can get long. Overall, we had a fantastic stay and created wonderful family memories. The beautiful beach, excellent service, family-friendly atmosphere, and all the activities made this a vacation we'll never forget. We would absolutely return to Dreams Macao Beach and would highly recommend it to families looking for a fun and relaxing all-inclusive getaway.

My sister and I had an AMAZING time staying at Dreams Macao Punta Cana! The beach is beautiful, and there were a variety of fun activities to do each day and night! We enjoyed the food, the drinks were delicious, and the rooms and restaurants were top notch. But n what made the experience unforgettable were the staff members we got to know while we were there. Moises our butler, Patricia from the Preferred Lounge, Lorenzo from the World Cafe breakfast, Julio from Oceana, Jonelvis from the front desk, the gym worker, and entertainment staff Victor, Mambo, Kenny, CJ, Marcello - just to name a few! I would definitely go back to this resort!

The most wonderful resort. Incredibly clean- I never visited anywhere in the 2 weeks that I was there and it wasn’t to standard! Apart from the pool at times which at times had sunscreen flowing in areas. Very Warm and friendly staff. The host at the restaurants would welcome our family and would make a fuss of our 4 year old which she loved. Brilliant restaurants! Never had a bad meal!!! The shrimp/ grouper and salads were delicious in the main buffet!!!! We visited all restaurants bar the French as we had a 3 year old.. We even booked the additional Extra BBQ grill evening with fire and dancing show which was a nice extra. Our swim up room with Butler as part of the preferred packed was a great extra to have… when my little one popped back to the room for a snack… we had someone that could bring a tea/ cake to the room without me having to call my partner back from the main pool/ bar. My 12 year old joined in with 2 workshops- pairing a coffee cafeteria and a coconut candle which were lovely take homes! We watched a couple of shows which were to a high standard… the events team worked quickly really hard- there is always something going on… The beach when we arrived had seaweed on but the team worked quickly to remove and by day 3- no sign or smell of it… beautiful sand, and clear sea.

We had a fanatic time here. I’m not going to lie, I was super scared of being poorly or not finding anything nice to eat or even not being able to go into the sea after reading all the negative reviews..but I can honestly say this was not our experience at all. Check in was so smooth and quick. We was given vouchers to spend and the opportunity to pay $100 dollars to use the arcade facilities and the zip line and climbing wall throughout our stay which was amazing as we was a party of 3, staying for 11nights! So this was an absolute bargain. Our room was spacious. Everything worked how it should. We were in block 4 on the fourth floor which over looked the garden and we could see the sea which was beautiful. Our room was cleaned daily.. you can request for cleaners to change bed and towels whenever you wanted. Highly recommend downloading the app as this helps communicate to the Housekeeping staff. You can also order room service which is completely free which was a fantastic touch as we was not preferred and felt like we never missed out on anything. The food was good.. I wouldn’t say amazing.. but it all was enjoyable. We ate in the Mexican restaurant and the Italian..both were a lovely experience and food was what we would expect. Nothing we ate made us ill. The only picky point I would make is the cocktails.. the most common ones are made in slushy machines which got a bit much after a while…try ordering a cocktail that you would not normally drink at home as they will make it for you! When we found this little trick, we were getting the bar staff to make us all sorts! We also ate at the taco truck and in the coco cafe.. both was delicious..and the coffee really hit the spot if your a coffee lover! The sun lounger situation was a little bit tedious..they go soo quickly.. on the first day I had a bit of jet lag from coming from the UK so I went for a walk at 6 in the morning and found that people had already saved the loungers..who is getting up that early on holiday to do this? You’re all crazy! The beach was absolutely stunning! Soft powered sands and beautiful turquoise waters.. yes the waves can be big..but they are so fun to jump in or bob around in like a little cork. If you walk right, down to the far end of the beach, the waves are calm, you can swim and snorkel..but be prepared to be stopped by vendors..just wave your hand and keep walking.. they will soon leave you alone. The staff work incredibly hard. They are friendly, and can’t do enough for you! The animation team are incredible..they want you to join in the fun but are also happy if you just want to watch.. they don’t pester you! Overall this was a fantastic holiday. Lots to do and sea! We felt completely safe inside the complex..we were relax and felt like the team are there to make sure you have the best vacation ever! If your reading the bad reviews..don’t bother..go into this with an opened mind…you will be pleasantly surprised like we was. I hope this takes some anxiety away if you’ve booked and now regretting your choice. You’re going to have a lovely time.

Absolutely amazing stay for all the family from the rooms to the drinks and activities. A great selection of drinks and food with amazing restaurants. Lots to do on the resort to keep everyone entertained. Rooms were lovely and kept clean!
