Paradise Unveiled
It was my first time travelling to Puerto Vallarta, and as a solo traveler, I was a bit anxious. However, from the moment I stepped foot into Dreams Vallarta Resort, my experience surpassed all expectations, leaving me utterly impressed so I felt compelled to share a thorough review:
1)Room: While I booked a Preferred Club Room with an Ocean View, my view encompassed only partial ocean view and resort pools but nonetheless, it was enchanting, and I was delighted with my accommodation. The room itself was clean, spacious, bed was comfy, and mini bar and amenities were refilled immediately upon request. However, the true highlight of the Preferred Club experience was the dedicated butler service. Assigned to my room was the invaluable Jose Becerra, whose unwavering commitment to ensuring my comfort elevated my stay immeasurably. From daily check-ins to thoughtful gestures, Jose's exemplary service exemplified hospitality at its finest. The entire Preferred Club staff, including Isabel, Hector and Erika, contributed to the overall experience of my stay. For those considering the Preferred Club, I wholeheartedly recommend requested Jose as your butler.
2)Staff: Without exception, the resort staff exhibited unparalleled friendliness, professionalism, and dedication. Their concerted efforts to ensure guest satisfaction were palpable, underscoring the importance of acknowledging their exemplary service through gratuities so make sure you tip them because they truly deserve it.
3)Pool/Beach: The pools and beach areas were meticulously maintained, with ample seating and towels. Service was prompt and courteous, with Hugo standing out for his exceptional attentiveness The beach itself was great with smooth sands, further enhancing the resort's allure.
4)Restaurants: From breakfast and lunch buffets to themed dinners, the culinary offerings were diverse and delicious. Each restaurant, whether Italian, Japanese, Mexican or International buffet-style, surpassed expectations. Notably, the Mexican restaurant, Tamarindo, stood out for its impeccable service (especially Abraham and Maria), vibrant ambiance, and mouthwatering cuisine, including the captivating spectacle of fresh guacamole preparation tableside.
5)Entertainment: The resort's entertainment team, led by the dynamic trio of Sarai, Alberto and Octavio, ensured a lively atmosphere throughout the day. Evening activities in the main lobby ranging from live music, karaoke and bingo nights were great and entertaining. Additionally, guests could groove the night away at the on-site nightclub with a DJ spinning tunes from 10:30 pm until 1:00 am daily.
6)Location: The resort's location is ideal, situated centrally and within close proximity to numerous attractions, notably the Malecon which is an ideal destination for first-time visitors to Puerto Vallarta. A mere 10-minute cab ride transports you to this bustling locale. Throughout my stay, I found the locals to be exceptionally friendly, and the overall environment exuded a sense of safety and security, contributing to a thoroughly enjoyable experience.
While there's much more I could praise about, my overall experience at Dream Vallarta was nothing short of exceptional. I eagerly anticipate my next visit and extend heartfelt thanks to the entire Dream Vallarta team for creating such unforgettable memories during my stay.
