Good family vacation. Beach is lovely. Rooms are clean. Service is really good they try very very hard to please you. Only negatives, the food was not great and although lots of restaurants, they repeat menu items (and circulate to the buffet) so in reality not much variety. Also babysitting service was WAY costly - $15/hr PER CHILD!! (The sitter herself though was great, the kids instantly liked her).

Staff was excellent. A la cartes were great. No reservations needed. Service was quick and very professional.

The hotel was fantastic, spacious, well kept, clean and friendly staff.

The hotel, staff and beach were amazing. Well worth the money paid. The preferred club was over the top with extra services and such friendly staff. I would definitly go again.

We had a really great time during our stay at the Dreams La Romana. The place is all it promises to be and more. We did not want to come back and we miss it terribly.

The no need reservation in all 8 restaurants is fantastic, we had so much food selection we did not have time to try it all. Now I wished more of them were open for lunch. The staff is remarkable, patient, courteous and always willing to please. I wonder how many times someone can say Holla in one day with a smile.

The entertainment staff is outstanding and the shows are pretty good.
The preferred section does not seem worth it. The only thing I wanted from there was a cold Corona not available at the other bars.
The spa is beautiful and the massages are excellent. Getting the $40 coupon is worth it.

The sales pressure is defiantly higher before you have a tan. Beware of the merchant tables that get setup about twice a week. They don't accept No for an answer. You look, you buy.
They offer bikes but there is no real bike path or interesting tour you can do. That we found was not worth it.

We highly recommended it to all our friends and would go back.

dans l'ensemble un excellent endroit a séjourner,la nourriture ,la propreté des lieux, les bars,l'animation sont excellents , la plage est le point moins bien elle est petite, environ 15 minutes et ont a fait le tour de la baie,et les chambres ne sont pas bien insonorisé.

Traveled w/ a wedding group of about 50, and we were definitely noticed. Most of our party were families and middle-aged relatives, but the 15 or so 20-somethings were gawked at for being active and enjoying a few drinks at the beach.
We got along well with the 2 other large, Canadian wedding parties that overlapped our stay, but we, along with them, were definitely judged by the other guests for celebrating(ie. drinking and playing at the beach)the reason for our stays: weddings.
DO NOT travel as a large group.

Great place for families

We enjoyed the overall experience! the weather was great. Resort was very clean and well maintained. Staff were fantastic (especially Kelvin the waiter at the Oceana Restaurant).

Three drawbacks:

They don't have kids menu's prepared for the kids to look at and read. We had to ask what was available for the kids.

Even though we paid for preferred which meant we should have had our bar fridge stocked daily, it didn't happen. We had to call to get it done.

There were too many salespeople (vultures) that were way too persistent. Made it uncomfortable to walk around.

We will not return to this resort because of the vultures.

Nice resort, great amenities but hotel staff was just OK. Not very friendly and didn't really go out of their way to make the vacation a "Dream come true".

We had a great time. We celebrated New Years's and everything was well organized.

very relaxing week with the kids. Good relaxed atmosphere. Very safe. Could leave our bag on a chair and go for a walk with no worries... Preferred club was worth it. Quiet with good service. Rooms are all close to one of the 3 very nice pools. No dead locks on room doors!

We had a wonderful week at Dreams La Romana. Not without issues but generally on par with other high-end resorts in the Dominican. We dined each night at one of the a la carte restaurants, one very good (Oceana), one a complete bust (Seaside Grill). We had breakfast and lunch most days at the main buffet (World Cafe) and were never disappointed.

The room was fine, although check-in and out (particularly out) were a hassle between lack of bell boys and huge challenges with the promised courtesy room for late departures.

We partook in only a few of the many activities and only one show, but those that we did were also up to expectations. The beach was nice, although smaller and a bit crowded compared to ones in Punta Cana, and preferred spots were definitely staked out early in the day, leaving very little for any one arriving later. The non-motorized water sports were easy to get access to.

A highlight for the week was the excursion to Catalina Island. We also checked out the nearby flee market and went into Bahahibe one day to do a bit of shopping, but found it limited, even by Dominican flee market standards.

On balance, although I'm not inclined to make repeat visits to the same place, preferring to try different places, there is nothing about this trip that would cause me not to return to this or another Dreams resort.

Très bon service en général. Le personnel est très aimable et parle Anglais et un peu Français. La nourriture est bonne mais pas assez de choix au buffet et pas assez de restaurants ouvert au diner.La plage est un peu petite mais l'eau est très belle pour la baignade.

Hôtel d'une grande propreté, service impeccable de tous les employés. Les 7 restaurants a la carte sont très bons et sans réservation.

Staff goes above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable. Pools were lovely although beach was a bit crowded since it's not super long. Food was good and loved that no reservations were required at the a la carte restaurants -Portofino and Bordeaux were our favourite restaurants. Rooms were clean but dated with lots of noise from the hallway. Would probably upgrade if we returned to ensure a better room location. The kids club was also top notch. We would return to this resort again.

About 90 grueling minutes through the Island, it is a beautiful resort with family friendly and courteous and warm staff...

Nous avons été au Dreams - Punta Cana et non La Romana, car nous aurions eu à effectuer le trajet en autobus (2-1/2 hre).

Nous avons adoré nos vacances a cet hotel, tres belle hotel. NOus étions 4 et on a par contre trouvé la chambre un peu étroite pour 4 personnes, 2 adultes, 1 ado et 1 de 8 ans. Par contre la chambre est pour dormir. On a fait le Bavaro Runner EXCELLENT TOUR a faire pour voir du pays, bien organisé, et prévoir des choses a donner aux enfants car il y a visite d'école et de lieu typique. Un tres bon choix d'hotel

There is so much to say overall I really enjoyed Dreams La Romana. I thought it was well kept. I loved the seclusion of the hotel because it truly provided a getaway for guests especially if you didn’t want to leave the property. I think having a wedding on site is a great option, they truly cater to the needs of the bride with the stunning venue and the availability of restaurants or areas to host the reception with a great price point.
I enjoyed the variety of restaurant options that were available, Seafood, French, Italian, Local, Mexican and Asian Fusion. All the restaurants were great, they provided a different ambiance and I felt that I was actually in a restaurant and not in a hotel - I enjoyed that feeling. I thought that the regular rooms were average - there was nothing spectacular about the room. I did enjoy the safe in the room however and the fact that there was just a pin pad no key or combination which was a huge plus.
There were some issues with insects in the rooms such as roaches, but that can be expected with a tropical location. I loved the room service –I wish that they were more efficient in collecting the plates however, because they would sit there. Additionally, I felt that the maids were not consistent in the cleaning of the rooms there were times that I would still be waiting after 11 am to get my bed made.
The beach I think was the most disappointing, it was quite mushy and had a lot of seaweed, the water was not as clear but that could have been attributed to the recent hurricane in the area, I did get stung by a sea urchin so sea shoes are recommended. The 3 pools however made up for it including the infinity pool with the swim-up bar I loved the feeling of being in the water at sunset – and the water was very warm so it made it comfortable at night.
The entertainment crew was fantastic and so was the planned activities there was always a lot to do if you wanted to and you could also choose to sit back and relax.
I think that changes I would make if I were going back I would get a Preferred Room which is cheaper if you get that deal before you leave – some airlines have this included. I would also get a room not on the ground floor which eliminated the roaches and also gave you a view which was nice to wake up to. I would also try to get on the bus to two that would have been nice to see the way that the locals live and also get more gifts the hotel souvenirs were generic and didn’t provide much in the way of options nor were they cost effective – the tour bus stopped on the way to the airport and Columbus Plaza was much better for options and price point.
Overall it was a great vacation I had a fabulous time – the wedding location was stunning the gazebo overlooked the water and that was memorable. I would definitely recommend Dreams over any other hotel in the area.

Real 5 Star Hotel. Foods, rooms, services, pools, activities are all good. Enjoy 24hr roomservice and the unique dominican restaurant "La Jungla"

très bon rapport qualité prix

Un très bel hôtel, belle chambre bloc 4, personnel super gentil et souriant, le buffet principal très diversifier, 7 resto à la carte sans réservations, les spectacles tant à l'extérieure qu'au théâtre intérieur très diversifier et 2 spectacles de hautes gamme au théâtre intérieure, le site est super entretenue, la plage est petite,tout dépendant si vous aimer marcher, pas beaucoup de vague, on est dans les caraibes, beaucoup d'acivitées tant à la piscine qu'à la plage, concours de paella, olypique, etc.
Possibilité d'aller à Bayahibe par la plage, et on peu faire de l'apnée de l'autre côté du quai et il y a une trempoline dans la mer pour amuser petit et grand.
Je vous conseille fortement le Dreams, j'ai adorer l'endroit. Je vais certe y retourner.

2 semaines de "farniente" dans un beau complexe, propre, confortable, amusant et où on mange bien.
Pour le prix que nous avions payé, je considère que c'était exceptionnel!

Dreams La Romana was an excellent family vacation. The resort was clean and beautiful, the pools were terrific, the beach was nice, and the food was wonderful. Our room was fine, we liked being on the third floor, there was no musty smell at all. Service was very friendly. We would most definitly return to this resort as a family or even just the two of us.

Overall a great resort that I would recommend to anyone. I would travel back there in a heart beat. (try and fly into La Romana, to avoid drive from Punta Cana or Santa Domingo if you can) All staff were friendly and willing to help. Food at the restaurants was very good. Pools were clean and the bartenders at the pool bar were the best. "Junior" and "Danny" and the guys to go to.

The hotel was nice and the people were great

Hotel was nice. Good quality for price. There were a few hiccups which is natural for a poor country - you can't expect the same quality and speed you would get at home. Overall it was a good trip - the beaches were one of the most beautiful I've seen.

on a eu des belles vacances à cet hotel.la bouffe est bonne et le personnel fait du bon travail.le seul point négatif est la petite plage 5 minutes de marche et tu as fait le tour.si vous aimer prendre des longues marche sur la plage ce n'est pas l'endroit.

Sorry to say I had a bad room. 4115 is in Need of some work. Broken Toilet, sink that leaks onto the floor, A/C and DVD player, some were fixed (however broke again) others were not even addressed. Extra lock on balcony door broken and one card access key to the room stopped working 3 times and had to be reprogrammed. Front Desk Staff were very dismissive of these issues and acted like they had better things to do then help you. English is not spoken very well at this location and some staff do not speak it at all. A new room was not offered however an upgrade that I would have had to pay an extra $700.00 for was.

Room doors are paper thin - heard everything including the night shows up to 11:30pm and late night party folks walking down the halls at 3:00am. This was an issue with a child as we would be in bed by 9:00pm at the latest. If you’re in what I’ll call “Hotel” block 4 or 5 this will be an issue as I heard other complaining of the same issue.

El Patio food was great (Mexican) as were the beach and pool areas. Buffet is small for the size of the resort and is very limited in its selection. Tables were not cleared quick enough leaving people without a place to sit and staff not doing anything about it. Coffee bar was also very nice.

I did not have a 5 star vacation like others have posted and will not be returning to this location in the Future. This was our first time at an all inclusive. Not what we had be “Dreaming” of at all.
