Overall the week was F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S!!! I could not have picked a better resort/location for my wedding. I was worried the cascade terrace (where i had reception) was not going to be private enough….but it was fine…the oceana terrace is also very beautiful…we had our welcome dinner there.

Dreams Resort (A+): The resort is beautiful and just as beautiful in person as it is in the website pics. There were a lot of people of all ages there and our group loved it. It was a little bit of a downer that the beach is not swimmable but you only need to walk like 10 mins down the beach to the Hilton to swim in the ocean…or we took the bus to Costa Azul / Zippers and went into the water there but I would have been just as happy to have another pool day

Cons of resort: you have to take a taxi or shuttle into cabo san lucas. you can take the bus to san jose. also, they make you shut off music around 10:30 for your wedding...you may be able to push it to 11:00pm.

Weather (A+++): Could I say PERFECTO! My reception started at 6pm and it wasn’t too hot at all…in fact I am so glad we didn’t start later because they day/night just fly by…By the time pics were taken, dinner served, cake cut etc. there was very little time for dancing.

The Explorers Club: The explorers club was great. A friend dropped off her 3 & 5 year old and they didn’t want to leave. They had stuff planned all day like: how to make Papier Mache piñata, to collecting sea shells and the kids really loved it.

Food (B): The food for my welcome dinner was a Caribbean/Mexican buffet and it was fantastic! The food for my reception was also good but not as good as the welcome dinner. The service was impeccable for both events. The food at the resort was ok…not bad but not awesome either…I mean it is Mexico, people….not San Francisco. Portofino is really good. El Patio and Oceana are really good. Himitsu was not so good (my friends at there and didn’t like it). The oceana grill has really yummy fish tacos. Breakfast at El Patio was probably my favorite meal....great omelette bar.

Room Service (B+): a couple of nights we had a poker tournament in our suite and it was so great to order food at like 2am…sometimes they took awhile though and I had to call back and be a pest....food choices limited but anyone that will bring food to my room in the middle of the night rates at least a B.

Pool (A+): i prefer hanging out art quit pool because i can get fish tACOS SERVED POOLSIDE.

Night time entertainment (A-): Pirate night was really funny….karaoke night was funny in a “she sucks and must be so embarrassed” sort of way….mime night…well I skipped that one….mimes scare me.

Service (A-): overall everyone is really friendly and helpful…the shuttle service was a pain in the ass because they were really inconsistent with their policy. Like they wouldn’t shuttle 1 group because they said you had to make a reservation the night before…but when I tried to make a reservation for the next day (like they said i had to) they told me to come back in the morning to make a reservation for the same day….uhhh…ok.
