When we arrived they hit us w an extra $300 per day charge for 5 days ($1500) for my 2 kids which were included in my original booking. And then the all inclusive pool bar closes at a certain time so u have to go to lobby bar but whos gonna go from pool to lobby bar which is a 5 min walk and up an elevator. Then the liquor cart comes around but its only a tease because they charge you extra for that. For 2 adults and 2 kids i ended up paying $950 per night. This hotel was nice but not worth $950 per night. If it was around $500-$600 per night like we had originally booked then i would say yeah not bad.

I have stayed her now 5 times. I have always booked on Expedia, every trip since 2012; the property was brand new my first trip. I haven't been here since 2019. I recently stayed April 2025 at Dreams. I booked Dreams because I love the view of Centro and the mountains. I have stayed at Secrets (adults side) 3 times; view sucks all you see is hotels. As of 2025 or so....Yuck!! Warning!! Two separate hotels!!! Not all inclusive like in the past. You need to add $300.00 if you want full access to the 2 restaurants and pool, which seems PETTY, unless I was duped and didn't care once I was at the hotel . Ick!! Don't think I will stay again. Very disappointing! They claim they had a renovation, but all they added was add-ons like luxury daybeds for you to spend more money (makes sense, but not a remodel) Hotel lookin shabby as well; lobby furniture, lobby wood deck tired and needs replaced, buffet yuck. I have always stayed in the Preferred Club; the buffet they offer is not like it was in the past not worth the effort or money, the only benefit of the Preferred club is it's closer to the ocean. Just a total Ick-disappointment....not sorry!

Overall was a pleasant stay. Food options for lunch were not optimal. Buffet was very limited for breakfast and lunch. Probably the most limited food options I have ever encountered at a Mexico all inclusive. But the staff were fantastic and the resort was clean.

We’ve been to this resort multiple times over multiple years. The staff is great and has tenure. There’s a couple hiccups along the way but they are always ready willing and able to make it right. It’s great for the kids and we always have a great time. There’s a wedding almost every night but they shut it down at about 10pm. We’ll be back again next year!
