Dreams Punta Cana Reviews....
Dreams Punta Cana has been a favorite choice of Vacationkids families since first opening in as a Sunscape Resort 2007. In 2009 it under went a multi million dollar expansion to upgrade it to Dreams luxury standards. Our staff has visited with each and every upgrade as well as enjoying some vacation time with their own families.
Dreams Punta Cana is located on the northeastern, Atlantic shore of the Dominican Republic in Playa Uvero Alto, about 90 minutes ride from the Punta Cana airport and 2.5 hours from the La Romana airport. Geographically if you look at a map of the Dominican Republic you'll see that the eastern side of the island comes to a point. Most of the Punta Cana resorts are located along the southern, bottom side of this point. The southern side of the island faces the Caribbean Sea. Dreams Punta Cana resort is located just around the other side of this point and it's beach faces towards the east and the Atlantic ocean.
The focal point of Dreams Punta Cana is it's massive, signature award-winning pool called the Lazy River. Please know this is NOT a waterpark type ride with a current...it's just the name they have given to the pool because it winds through the entire property like a river. This 300 square yard pool is one of the largest in the Caribbean. It starts at the far end of the property near the lobby exit and spa with a zero entry area, shallow splash area for kids including a fun iceburg that the little ones can climb and slide on. At the end of the pool is the reward...the swim up pool bar where you can kick back, enjoy a nice refreshing drink and a little time in the jacuzzi while enjoying the view of the ocean.
The Beach here is beautiful...white sands and crystal blue waters. Due to the location of this resort, the beach here isn't crowded and perfect for long morning or sunset walks. There are plenty of non motorized watersports available in addition to wonderful dining and nightly entertainment.
If there are any down sides to this resort or considerations parents need to make it would be....
- Dreams Punta Cana is a bit isolate. It's a perfect spot for a relaxing resort vacation but not a great choice if you choose to sight see around the island.
- Dreams Punta Cana faces the Atlantic Ocean. The beach here is gorgeous but the waves tend to be a bit rougher than other Punta Cana resorts located facing the Caribbean Sea.
