    Friendly and attentive staff

    The staff were extremely friendly, and never once did they greet you without a smile. They also were very welcoming and interactive with the children which was extremely refreshing. The specialty restaurants were also very accommodating along with the world cafe since we had a group of 12, 3 of which were children 4 and under including an infant. The only downside was the pools were fairly cold and not heated and there weren’t any hot tubs. Otherwise a very pleasant experience.

    Cried when we had to leave!

    Dreams Macao Review If you’re searching for a resort in Punta Cana that has exceptional, caring, & fun staff, beautiful views, delicious food & drinks, beautifully kept grounds, and fun entertainment ranging for kids to adults - look no further! Our adult group of 6 just returned from a trip to Dreams Macao Beach. We are frequent travelers and have been to other all inclusive resorts in and out of the Dominican. We had zero expectations and WOW, were we impressed! The best thing about Dreams Macao hands down is their staff! They are accommodating, lively, fun, helpful, and caring to all of their guests. Their #1 priority is ensuring you have a great time! It doesn’t seem like just a job to them! The service from the bars, restaurants, around the pool, spa, concierge, housekeeping, entertainment, etc are unmatched compared to any other all inclusive we have been to. HUGE shoutout to some of the people who made our stay exceptional! - Justin Bieber and Baby Face on the entertainment staff were exceptional! Both of these guys genuinely cared about every single guest. They knew how to interact with guests age 6-60! Justin Bieber by far was our absolute favorite! His kind hearted nature and up beat spirit made our stay! Best entertainment team hands down! - Juana and Yolanda Perez were our favorite poolside waitresses! They were so kind and their smiles lit up our day! By the end of the week, they memorized our drink orders and before our cups were even empty, they were getting us a refill! There was a rainy day which wasn’t stopping our fun and they made sure to keep the party going! They are such hard workers!!! They interacted with every guest and provided the same level of service to all guests! We also were very impressed with Randy, Damury, and Papa Pollo! We didn’t have to go to the bar often, but when we did, they took exceptional care of us! - Francisco at the breakfast buffet always greeted us with a smile and a fist bump! He took great care of us the entire time! We also really enjoyed George who served at the breakfast buffet and Seaside Grill. We dined with him for lunch our very first day and he set the tone!!! His upbeat personality, willingness to teach us about their culture, and superior service set the bar! Everyone I mentioned on this list makes us want to return to Dreams Macao! They deserve high wages for the way they treat all the guests. They truly made our trip special and should be recognized! ❤️ The food and drinks are amazing! Best thing I had hands down were the fish tacos from the taco truck at the water park! Don’t knock it until you try it! We all agreed the dinner at Himitsu Teppanyaki table was so good! Very entertaining and the food was delicious! Our group of 6 was highly impressed with the quality of the beef and seafood around all the restaurants at the resort! Every day, they cooked or grilled something around the pool which I found particularly neat - Things like hamburgers, tacos, kabobs, paella, etc. The food was so fresh and you didn’t have to leave the sunshine and lively atmosphere to get a quick bite. They also had specialty drinks such as coconut water straight from the coconuts and an expert local mixologist that put on quite an amazing show! We sampled a variety of specialty cocktails pair with flipping bottles and lively music/dancing! As an all adult group with this being a family resort, we never felt overcrowded by children. There are 3 areas of pools for the non-preferred guests. The lazy river and water slide area is extremely relaxed with a little added excitement with the water slides. There is also a kids pool/waterpark area that a majority of the smaller children occupy. The large, main pool with the swim up bar seemed to host more of the adults with more of an adult natured atmosphere. We got a great game of volleyball in one day with some other poolside activities. Make sure you take plenty of sunscreen! Someone will likely want to talk about their special club but a polite no is sufficient if you are not interested. It’s hard to find a reason you shouldn’t come to Dreams Macao! If you’re considering booking here, this is your sign to do it! You won’t regret it!

    Wonderful Family Vacation at Dreams Macao Beach Punta Cana

    The whole resort was fab! Ocean, swimming pools, pool bars, great restaurants, open bar drinks. What’s not to like? Rooms were huge and comfortable. Had no problems whatsoever. There were 6 of us, two grandparents, daughter, and 3 grandkids, ages, 26, 19 and 17. We had 3 rooms. We would definitely go again.

    Great family resort!

    The resort has a great layout. You never have to walk far to get drinks and food. The staff is exception, everyone there will try to make your stay special. We loved the barefoot grill. It's located in the middle of the resort making it easy to get burgers, wings, sausages, French fries nachos etc. My entire family ate lunch there everyday it was so good and convenient. The ocean had large waves (you can surf) so just be aware. My kids loved the waves and was never worried when in the water. My family highly recommends this resort.
