Not Worth It! Weddings beware!
If you’re considering having your wedding at Dreams Las Mareas, here are a few important points to think about: 1. Lack of Preparation: During the rainy season, the venue seems ill-prepared. There’s no backup plan to relocate your ceremony unless you’re willing to pay extra for indoor space or tents. 2. Unfortunate Experiences: I witnessed a wedding reception take place in the rain, with guests trying to eat while holding umbrellas. It was quite uncomfortable, and the service continued outdoors despite the downpour. 3. Additional Costs: Be prepared for upcharges on everything. It would have been reasonable to expect a contingency plan for inclement weather, but that doesn’t seem to be the case here. I do not recommend!

Amazing Views and Relaxing Vacation
The hotel was absolutely beautiful but secluded. No need to rent a vehicle for this location if you do not plan or have time to venture out of the area. Several large pool options, and a pretty cool slide for not only adults but I guess the kids can enjoy it too. Just kidding we had as much fun as the kiddos. I sprung for the Swim Up Preferred Room, but unless you plan on spending your day in the room it may not be necessary. It really doesn't connect to the larger pools which would have been the best feature. Also, I feel like paying for a preferred package was a waste of money, since i never stepped foot in the preferred lounge, the breakfast for that lounge starts later than you would imagine for an early riser. My mother paid for a preferred option in addition to be able to access the same areas as us as noted by the staff at check in but never needed it. The preferred club pool was accessed by ALL. Which i find to be unfair especially we preferred club members had to pay additional. There is no control over the section. This location was selected by the bride and groom of the wedding I was attending. The food options were okay at the snack bars by the pools were okay, unfortunately they only have one or two bartenders or cooks at each station making it for long waits on drinks and food. The rooms were clean, except for the lizard i slept with the entire stay since he would hide instead of coming out. He was on the wall when we checked in, and the bellhop attempted to scout him out but could not reach, by night he was near my bed. The pillows were a bit lumpy and uncomfortable but after a long travel day, I still was able to pass out. If you are lucky and stay on one of the higher floors, you may have a close encounter with some very clever monkeys. PLEASE REMEMBER TO LOCK YOUR BALCONY DOORS... the monkeys will open the door and enter the room to see what they find. The wedding reception was held in one of there "ballrooms". Two problems to consider, one there isn't any soundproofing. The party next to us had already started by the time we arrived to our setting, we could not hear any of the speeches given by the maid of honor or groomsmen. The second complaint was that there isn't a dedicated dancefloor. The entire room was carpeted making it difficult will heals. Other than that we had an amazing trip with good company of family and friends. Wish we had time to see more or experience more but the tours are hours long and we were on a tight schedule. We didn't have time to leave the hotel. My last note is... the gift shop is entirely too expensive... if you can shop local or on the beach...

Really GOOD morning!
Wonderful immediate service from Kattia in the premium lounge here at Dreams this morning! Even though Kattia was doing morning prep she dropped what she was doing to help us! She even helped us improve our Spanish speaking language skills!

Go! This resort is amazing!!
This was a wonderful resort! I could have done without the children, however, you could find nice quiet areas without them. So many pools to choose from, the only complaint we had is that 3 of us slipped, the tile they used is VERY slippery with or without shoes. But the grounds are well kept, housekeeping is super fast, and room service was stellar!! The people were all very nice, friendly and very helpful! The food was delicious, many varities to choose from in all of the restaurants! There is something for everyone! This resort is about a 90 minute ride from the airport, Amstar did a great job shuttling us to and from and telling us certain landmarks. The monkeys everyday were fun and exciting, lots of gorgeous plants to look at. Connie at the lower pool was amazing, her customer was outstanding!! The drinks are wonderful here! They do not short pour so becareful! I loved this resort! Outstanding trip was had by all! Thank you to the staff and everyone at Dreams!
