Dreams Royal Beach Punta Cana

We recently stayed at Dreams Royal Beach in Punta Cana. They had a big Super Bowl party when we arrived with lots of fun activities and food. It was windy the first two days so it was a little chilly but the pool was less windy than the beach. The food was good but I would stick to the actual restaurants if you can and not the buffet. We were disappointed cause the steak restaurant was closed every night for weddings and we never got to try it. Our favorite part was the activities at the pool and the beach. Kuromi, picachu, Vladimir, and baby face always had so much energy and always had us doing something fun. We took Spanish lessons, learned the bachata, played lots of sand volley and water aerobics. The kids area with the slides was fun and the slides go fast. The rooms were clean and had lots of space. I recommend getting a room with a walkout on the first floor into the lazy river. They had shows in the plaza every night, our favorite was the rock show. We went golfing at La Cana and Corales. Both courses are right on the ocean so it was windy but beautiful. Corales was better but also more expensive. Arrange a shuttle ahead of time to and from the golf courses. There’s traffic sometimes in the downtown area but nothing too bad.

LOVED IT!! tl;dr - would highly recommend. A smaller resort with excellent staff, food, and top tier beach. For full context - I was in Punta Cana at a different resort a mile down the road, but when my flight was cancelled due to weather and I had to extend my stay, we moved to Dreams Royal Beach. So I'll write sort of comparing the two properties. - THE BEACH!! Even though the two resorts were on the same beach, the one at Dreams Royal Beach had clearer water, no boats, and a much larger area to swim. Absolute 15/10. - Staff: the staff here was SO much friendlier, more attentive, and more fun than the other resort. Would absolutely recommend! I specifically want to call out William at the front desk who made check in and check out super easy & smooth! He was friendly, knew what he was doing, and spoke perfect English. Thank you William!! We also had a tricky situation with our flights and he gave us piece of mind with booking one night at a time. - Food: the food was really good! The food at the other resort was more upscale, but the food at Dreams were perfectly great - and better than expected for all inclusives. I loved that you could grab a quick burger while at the beach - no need to change or put shoes on! The Asian restaurant was top notch (OMG the eggplant dish!), Mexican was very good, and Italian was solid. Also the ice cream spot is the best! - Water slides and pools were really fun! I liked how the pool was like a Venice canal - it curved around so there were lots of private areas AND some hammocks. - Entertainment - we mostly hung out at the beach so we didn't do too much of the pool entertainment, but there was something everyday and it looked like a blast!! It seemed organized and people were into it. - Rooms - very solid. It's not a brand new resort so the rooms aren't super modern, but if you're on vaca all you need is a comfy bed and shower, and Dreams delivers! ALSO there's a bath/hot tub on the porch so that is the BEST way to end the night!

The resort was outstanding. Staff paid attention to detail. The pools and beach were great. My wife and I arrived 2/8/26 and departed 2/16. Weather was good. It rained a couple of days but not long. The food was good but more of a variety in the restaurants could have been better. The service is not like the states but keep in mind, this is the Caribbean :) . Overall, we had a wonderful experience thanks to Roberto. He helped make this vacation wonderful. Thanks again ROBERTO!!!!!!!!

It’s beautiful and well kept resort. It was maybe 5 star resort 10-15 years ago. But it is still well kept.Most beautiful part for me is grounds and beach Clean and neat, usually rooms are cleaned twice a day . Staff is super nice and welcoming, u feel like u are at home . A la carte restaurants are very good , i would just recommend bigger portions and more decorations for food. Only downside of this resort is morning buffet at World Caffe. Is pretty much basic with questionable food quality and variety and mostly same choices every day . I would like to see some more seafood, local food. Fresh juices not mixed with water. They have couple juice options at breakfast, they were all awful And P.S drinks are not top shelf, jack is best whisky and smirnof best vodka . Generally this is 4* experiences, but i would definitely go back

The resort itself was huge! Martin was our concierge & he was top notch. Wilkin from the Grotto bar was the best. Danilka our wedding planner was average. I wasn’t impressed with her services for spending a lot of money on a wedding. Not the best with communication skills. The food overall was pretty good. The alcohol selection was great. Had tons of fun & would visit again.

A great resort! This is our second visit and we are here for three weeks. I need to brag on the Sea Side grill for there outstanding grilled salmon. The grill manager is "Hansel" he and his staff our outstanding. The grilled salmon was as good as it gets, top quality taste and presentation. I recommend the Sea Side grill and Hansel and his staff.

We had a wonderful stay!! Jeffrey and Dolores spoiled us with service at the preferred swim up rooms coming from serving The Grotto swim up pool bar. Everyday they had a smile and put on miles of service for everyone!! The beach is fantastic, buffet was disappointing but the hibachi and French where good! Off site Sacred River was fun!! Had kids with us ages 6, 9 and 12. Atv, horse and swimming! Michael through preferred also did a wonderful job scheduling the paddle boats, hibachi and small preferences!!

Overall, our stay at the hotel was very nice and we really enjoyed it. The hotel itself is beautiful and most things were very good. Unfortunately, the check-in experience was disappointing. When we arrived, nothing was explained to us — such as breakfast times, which restaurants were included, or what dining options were available. We had to figure everything out by ourselves, which was not a good first impression. In addition, it was quite difficult to understand the lady at the reception because of her English, and I had to ask several times to understand what she was saying. The entertainment team, however, was absolutely amazing. They were super friendly, motivated, and full of energy every single day. They always brought good vibes and really made our stay more enjoyable. Another issue was that the check-in area was much too cold. You could even see condensation from the air conditioning on the ceiling. In addition, the door to our room was not properly sealed, so we could hear everything that was happening outside, which affected our comfort. Aside from these points, everything else was very good, and overall we had a pleasant stay.
