Dreams Cabo Room Rate for Guests??

robin439 · September 30, 2012

Hi Everyone,

I'm recently engaged, and we are just in the beginning planning stages of a wedding in Cabo probably in November 2013. This is my first post, so hopefully I am doing this right! I've been searching the boards, and haven't found much about the room rates for guests at Dreams. I really like everything I've read about Dreams, but my biggest concern would be cost of room for the guests as looking at the published rates for a couple would be around $500 a night which I feel like would be a lot to ask of some of our guests that are coming on a variety of budgets. Based on the significant cost savings that there seem to be when most of your guests stay on site, I would like to choose a resort where most of our guests can stay.

We will likely have somewhere in the range of 40-70 guests, so maybe 30-50 rooms for 3-5 days each if we can funnel most guests to stay where our wedding is. Couple questions about those that are planning a wedding at dreams:

1.) What kind of room rate deals did you get for your guests through the resort or a TA? What are the average costs per person/ per night that your guests are paying?

2.) Does Dreams have a requirement that a certain percentage of your wedding party is staying at your hotel to get the lower priced wedding packages? I've been pricing some other properties and found that some have a minimum room requirement & also have a percentage of wedding guests requirement imposed (i.e. 90% of wedding guests must be staying at property with AI to receive discounted rates on wedding).

Any information that any of you have would be greatly appreciated. I really like everything I'm hearing about Dreams, but the cost of the rooms for our guests is the one thing that has given me reservations to pursue it further.

Thank you!

We are going for a week and staying at and getting married at dreams. Our trip was around 3500.00 a couple with airflights of $600 each in an junior ocean suite. That is all inclusive price for 7 nights. That would run about 325 a night or so. They do run a promo for every 5 rooms booked you get 1 free. For every person that does not stay there you have to pay a $99 per person day fee. They do not deal on wedding packages the price is the price. They will not exchange things out either, for what I have found.

Thanks so much! I haven't heard back from the resort yet, and the cost of rooms is the one thing that's been holding me back from considering this property. $325/ night isn't bad at all. Thanks for the input!

Rates should be lower than $500 a night... closer to the $330-400 per night for double occupancy for november..
