Frommer's Review

Formerly the Camino Real, the premium all-inclusive Dreams Resort has the nicest beach of any Vallarta hotel, with soft white sand in a private cove. Set apart from other properties, with a lush mountain backdrop, it retains the exclusivity that has always made it popular -- yet it's only a 5- to 10-minute ride to town. The hotel consists of two buildings: the 250-room main hotel, which curves gently with the shape of the Playa Las Estacas, and the newer 11-story Club Tower, also facing the beach and ocean. An ample pool fronts the main building, facing the beach. Standard rooms in the main building are large; some have sliding doors opening onto the beach, and others have balconies. Club Tower rooms (from the sixth floor up) have balconies with whirlpool tubs. The top floor consists of six two-bedroom suites, each with a private swimming pool and special concierge services. All rooms feature ocean views, vibrant colors, marble floors, and artwork by local artist Manuel Lepe. The grounds include two swimming pools (including an adults-only tranquillity pool), a wedding gazebo, and upgraded health club and spa.

Facilities: 5 restaurants; lobby bar; pool bar; 3 outdoor pools; 2 lighted grass tennis courts; fully equipped health club; spa; children's program (Easter and Christmas vacations only); travel agency; car rental; convenience store; room service; laundry service

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
