Dreams Spa & Resort in Puerto Vallarta

My husband and I took the ultimate mexican vacation in December, when the weather of the Pacific Northwest was at its very worst. We left the cruel winter far behind, and entered a world of pure fantasy. When our taxi from the airport pulled off the main street onto a narrow cobblestone road, that was lined with stately palms swaying gently in the breeze as though they were sentries announcing our arrival, I knew instinctively we were entering a very special place. We had to pass through a massive wrought iron gate which absolutely defined the boundary between reality and fairytale.

Our taxi was met by an energetic welcoming staff. We were given flutes of fine champagne as we exited the vehicle. They said our luggage would be taken to our room and told us to relax and enjoy and that we would not have to worry about a single thing for the next 7 days, which proved to be exactly the case.

If one so desired, you could spend the entire 7 days right at the resort. The food is unbelievable and abundant, and you have the choice of 5 gourmet restaurants, as well as 24 hour room service, a large buffet for breakfast and lunch, and snack bars set up on the beach. There is a world class spa that offers a variety of different treatments. I personally liked the hot stone massage, which was done on a deck over looking the ocean.


There are three pools, with the main pool having a swim up bar and a jacuzzi insert. Of course, then you have the huge sandy beach which is dotted with thatch huts if you need a shaded break. It is the largest private beach in Puerto Vallarta, which means you have plenty of space to spread out and catch the warm sun’s rays.


There is nightly entertainment specials and planned daily excursions off-site if you wish. The all inclusive package is unbeatable, as it includes all drinks, meals, activities and gratuities. The service awesome, and the staff makes the trip memorable for all. Xavier, who was our server at the breakfast buffet presented my friend and I each a plate he had made, and our husbands with a bottle of tequila gold, on the last day of our stay. I know this will sound like a clique’, but this is stuff of which dreams are made. We will definitely return to this quiet paradise on the Pacific.
