Dec 07, 2025Il Mare not worth the price
Come here for the island not the resort We had a return trip from last year because Pods weren’t open. I would definitely do an air bnb next time

Dec 07, 2025Very disappointed
I will not stay at a Dreams resort again. This was first Dreams and Curaçao experience and I had high expectations. Too much effort on trying to sell you on the vacation club. Too much effort on those who are members. Too bad we couldn’t have had some of the same experiences as the VIPs.

Hell
I would not recommend this hotel. Beach was very small. Pool and beach area had limited seat and umbrellas. The buffet SUCKS big time. Food was very limited. Hot dogs undercook, burgers overcook. No food for vegetarians besides nachos. Staff ignores you. My fish dinner was cold. Drinks are water down. Do not waste your money or time at Dreams unless you like Hell.

Don’t waste your money! Preferred Club is a scam!
Service, restaurant availability and food choices, top shelf booze selection is never available. Staff ignore you! Pool bartender spent all day ignoring people, served maybe 5 drinks a day! Times for restaurants don’t matter, they open whenever! No one knows when or where to eat! Food is ok at best

Nice location & views, Entertainment lacks
Very nice beach & pool areas. Wonderful view from floor 5. Casino is nice. Food was average. Entertainment was almost non-existent. Pool bar closed at 5:00, no afternoon or evening entertainment at pool or beach, just a radio playing music. The little entertainment they did have was annoying. I was hoping for live music that was enjoyable and/or danceable. No waiters/waitresses on beach or at pool as advertised. Bartenders were quick and delightful though. Overall bored with venue.
