The property was beautiful, the people were great, the food at the restaurants was very good for the most part. The food at the buffet lunches was not very extensive. It was sometimes difficult to communicate with staff as I only spoke my language.

The staff was friendly and accommodating. Special thanks to Nick and Carlos at the lobby bar also to Narranta and Marvin at the restaurants. Overall the staff were very nice including our housekeeper Magaly. The food was suspicious. We all 6 got sick after eating at the seafood restaurant Oceania. The food was often cold and not the best. The best place to eat was the seaside buffet and grill the food was at the proper temperature if you got there when they first opened. We would not recommend Dreams and we will not go back.

At check in, I wasn't given the room I booked for weeks ago, when I asked I was told it was fully booked....which made me wonder, why not informed me if non availability of what I asked for?. Secondly the room was not fully ready when we got there Thursday 8pm?... The TV remote wasn't working, called front desk almost 7times no one answered and had to walk back to the front desk myself. Honestly pictures are deceptive. Panama is a beautiful country, Dream Playa has the potential of being a peacefully place to relax away from the pollution and noise of the city. They can do better.

This resort is perfect if you like a quiet, relaxing experience. The staff is friendly and pleasant and they worked hard to correct the mix up on our room. The dining was very nice. The buffet features Panamanian barb que which was very good. Room service was a big plus as well! The resort is in the jungle so wildlife is plentiful. The jungle tour is a must do! Finally the view from the beach is beautiful! You can see the shops lining up to go through the Panama Canal! Seashells are everywhere! The water is very nice but be careful of the undercurrent. It pulls the sand out from under your feet very quickly.

This was worth every penny. I have to admit, the cost makes this a great deal. The property could use a facelift. The dining options could be more diverse and adventurous. The service was very good. The room was nice. Staff was friendly and attentive. For what I paid, this was a great place. Most everything was included in the cost. There are premium options, but they aren't necessary to enjoy the stay. Pools were very nice. The beach was close and lovely. If you are driving, do not trust Google Maps to get you here. Ask it to find Veracruz then, when you are close, ask directions to the hotel.

The staff were very nice. However, the food was mediocre at best. The preferred area drinks and snacks were much better if you choose that option but the wait times for the restaurants and food once you were inside were a little long for what you received. (Oceana was closed the entire time due to a private event.) Also, DO NOT pay for TAXI2TAXI private sedan service because it will not be private!! We paid for private service, and we had someone in the van going and the same person on the return trip to the airport plus two more people who almost made us miss our flight. Not sure why Expedia would endorse such a service that is obviously falsifying what they provide to customers. Save your money and pay for an Uber!! It will be PRIVATE, cheaper and on time!!

Grounds were beautiful! No complaints, just my thoughts...food was good but lacked selection and variety. Staff were helpful however the bartenders did not seem as upbeat and friendly as other resorts we have visited. Entertainment in the evening was lacking, not enough places with music and/or dancing until 11pm. Overall the property was very nice, just needs updating. I am guessing COVID hit this resort hard.
