Great review!!! We are getting married in Las Caletas next May and are considering staying at Dreams PV. Your review was soo helpful! Especially the pictures of the suite. I can't tell you how long I spent looking for pictures of the suite online today! Thank you!!

Great! Ya know, I almost didn't include those pics. When we decided to book a Dreams Suite, they said they couldn't guarantee which tower we would be in. We kept hoping it'd be in the new (Preferred) tower but figured it'd be nice either way. So when we were given the new tower we were super excited. I took a bunch of pics & figured someone on here might like to see what they look like since the Dreams website doesn't really show much of those suites. If you use a travel agent I would just ask that they include that you're the bride & groom and request the Preferred tower.

Anyway, glad to help out and I would 1000% recommend Dreams for you & your guests. Just the private beach alone makes it worth it and it's only a 8-10 min cab ride (50 pesos ~ $5) to downtown so it's not a deterrent to going into town.

Ya know, we really were in the perfect place! Great culture & a beautiful city with beautiful friendly people, beaches, and an all-inclusive resort so people didn't have to worry about $ when they got there. I wouldn't change a thing about it! It's definitely tropical and the hotel has been there a long time so the grounds around it are really lush (it used to be called the Camino Real before Dreams bought it). Plus being backed by the Sierra Madre mountains & jungle helps with the tropical ambiance.

 

We had a travel agent (Teresa Stauring at Vacations4Less.com) and she was able to negotiate a really good rate for us. Plus we booked in 2009 so the rates, I'm sure, have gone up. And keep in mind that May is considered off-season (though I think August is too). We originally looked into a January wedding but it was going to be a lot more expensive for our guests so we changed the date.

But, for the Deluxe room in the older tower it was $106 per person, per night, based on double occupancy, and the Jr Suite in the Preferred tower was $142 per person per night (also dbl occupancy). Really not bad considering that includes ALL of your food & drinks (alcoholic & non), non-motorized water sports, towels whenever you need them, etc, etc.
