Majority of the staff was awesome. The concierges were a little pushy to do the presentations for my liking. They advised it would only take 1.5 hours. Once we were there, two hours in, I told them I didn’t think their discount program was the right fit for us they kept pushing and followed up by a manager (Alex). In my opinion it’s unprofessional for a manager to get up the table without properly dismount himself, just because he didn’t get what he wanted. then they brought another lady to speak to us. At that point I was frustrated because we had plans and I kept telling them this was not the right fit and at the end they seem upset. Which gave me a bad taste in my mouth. I do want to say Fernanda and David from the buffet restaurant were super awesome with us! Kudos to them. Made us feel welcome at all times.

We went with a large group (20 adults 22 kids). Small to medium size resort. Which worked for us with kids due to a lot of walking from one place to another. Most of us stayed at the Preferred Club, which is a separate building but right next to the main buffet, pool and beach. Advantages of Preferred club is that each room comes with a personal assistant, who you can text and request anything. Has access to somewhat premium drinks on the 2nd floor. Has small lounge area with food items 24hrs, next to the concierge on the ground floor. Overall its great. Food: pretty decent. They try to add variety daily for lunch and dinner. Seevice is pretty good but can be a bit of delay based on how busy it is. But they try their best. Restaurants are good, different items compared to buffett. Must try the seafood restaurant next to the pool, they got fresh catch (red snapper) fried and pork belly tacos are amazing. But everything on the menu was good. Snack bar by the pool has amazing fried fish tacos, plus chicken fingers, hotdogs, burgers, fries, nachos. Pools: well maintained, the waiters are pretty quick with the drinks. Some mixed drinks could be a bit too sweet. But overall good. Beach: okay, nothing compared to Cancun beaches. Although no seaweeds, but tons of rocks which made it difficult for kids and elderly to walk around in the water. But the area outside of the beach is very clean. Activities: kids club, nigh club, and had shows some days. But mostly signing and karaoke.

Our recent stay at Dreams Vallarta Resort was exceptional. The staff was incredibly welcoming and made our experience truly memorable. Special thanks to Oliver, Alejandro, Jacqueline, and Jocelyne from the Carnival main dining room for their hospitality and excellent customer service. Omar and David at the front desk, along with Judith Avalos, were very nice and accommodating. Oscar and Manuel at the Capers restaurant were formidable. We highly recommend this resort for anyone seeking a top-notch vacation experience.

My stay was wonderful. I will be returning. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The food options were good and the restaurants were nice and clean. The only problem was at check in . It did take a while to check in and after a long flight you just want to rest. Maybe the hotel can consider more people at the counter for check in. Also, the beds seemed full size not queen size but over all I would recommend this hotel . It is beautiful!

The hotel is clean and the staff are wonderful and professional. But the hotel is very old, they didn’t have any AC anywhere in the hotel except for the rooms, the food is very very limited and the same thing everywhere. We go to All Inclusive trips 2 times a year and this by far had worst food! The entertainment is lame, very boring! I mean we still tried to enjoy our time after spending so much money, but didn’t deserve it.

I’ve stayed at Secrets back December 2016 and this visit had my daughter. Booked using Expedia and stayed Saturday- Tuesday. Uber to the hotel from airport, 15min ride at 12pm. They would have a room for me at 1:30 and we could start enjoying their amenities. Room on the 12th floor was cleaned very well each day and it had a beautiful ocean view. Just sucks the elevators are very slow so lines can be long. 3 pools and decent amount of spots on the beach as well. The only really good restaurant was the sushi. The 6 other restaurants were just OK nothing to rave. Bellmen, maids, coffee shop, and front desk were nice. The concierges not so friendly since you don’t want to be bothered with timeshare spills. Didn’t like that if I wanted access to Secrets, I had to pay for a daily pass but Secret guests can come over free! Back then when it was Now Amber, it was free for me to roam thru both hotels. Checkout at 11:55am and was fast and smooth. July is apparently their raining season so each day poured down 1-2 hours straight at night and during the late day, more of an over cast. Overall, was a relaxing vacation, so many resorts in PRV that I would like to explore them all, never stay same place twice. This is a good resort for kids but not many activities for them to do but swim I would rate overall 4 stars as it’s a nice hotel.
