I know there are brides on this forum that are getting married at Dreams VM, so I hope the resort rises to meet the reputation of other Dreams Resorts. I'm taking a 3 day honeymoom at Dreams VM in May. I'm slightly worried, but hoping it will be better by then. Since I'm only there for three nights, and we plan on just relaxing after our wedding, I'm not concerned with entertainment at all. The rooms are super luxurious (rave reviews on the rooms on Trip Adviosr) and the beach is really nice. Let's focus on the positives, too. Thanks Mel! I was getting a bit worried from the negatives reviews, but I'm over it now. Our group wanted a resort with nice rooms and a bars.... so I think we are covered! we have so many activities planned that we just want to have a nice place to relax. Hope the issues that come along with opening a new resort are sorted out soon. Dreams staff reassured me that they are working on it. ~Susan

I think I have a couple of pics on my work computer that the WC send. I'll search and I'll send them to you. I was getting a bit nervous with some of the reviews on TripAdvisor, but I'm hoping that all the issues are being worked out. I send e-mail to Dreams staff and the reassured me that they are working to taking care of those issue that come along with opening a new resort. Please let me know if you have any questions. ~Susan
  3. I'm traveling with 50, but I'll like to get more, but don't want to travel with the extras...

I totally agree with Abbie's thoughts on the 2 types of travelers. I think you can kind of tell when reading the review if the reviewer is like you or dislike you. Does that make sense? Some people are insanely hard to please. You need to treat people with respect, be friendly, and TIP! The rewards are immeasurable. My honeymoon hotel opened a month ago, and the reviews are totally a mixed bag. I'm just hoping that by the time I get there in 3 months, the kinks will be worked out. The real traveler photos are totally the best! Hi Mel! I was really starting to get down when reading all the mixed/negatives reviews of the VM. I really do hope that all the issues are worked out soon. My brother made a good point thou... the main aspects that we were looking for in a resort is a great room, peaceful location, nice beach and bars. We are going to be doing tons of activities while we are there, so we need a nice peaceful place to relax and drink Where you planning on switching to another location?

I really needed this.
  6. Thanks for the review. I'm also are considering the Vista Grill as a location for our dinner. We'll probably have 25 guest. I'm so glad that all was wonderful. Congrats!!!
