Be sure you know which property to which you are referring. There are two Dreams resorts here. Dreams Palm Beach is in the heart of the hotel area of Bavaro Beach while Dreams Punta Cana is quite far North and reasonably isolated.

Dreams Punta Cana is very nice. I go there often and stayed there in July for my daughters 2nd birthday. The rooms are very nice allthough i will say the mattresses are really quite hard, but thats the only complaint.

No wrist bands and no queing up to make reservations for the restaurants, you just go straight in.

Steak reastaurant on the beach very nice and the buffet is also very well done too.

Plenty for children to do if you are travelling with kids, my daughter loved it.

I like it so much i have booked my wedding there next June, so cant be bad eh?

Hope you ahve a great time

P.s be sure to see the Circus of Dreams show on the beach

Gregg,
the Dreams Palm Beach is not on Bavaro Beach, buddy,
it is in the calm Bay of Cabeza de Toro, just 15 minutes from the airport.
happy travels
Mike

Dreams Punta Cana is in Uvero Alto and the water is rougher than in Cabeza de Toro

Yes the sea is rougher in Uvero Alto (Dreams Punta Cana), but i cant say that really bothered us.
However i presume that all Dreams resorts are run the same i.e no wrist bands and not having to make dinner reservation i expect.

I have been to Dreams Palm Beach (Cabeza del Toro) and it is very nice allthough i have not stayed there. I will say that there is a little more to do there than the other Dreams as there are a few little shops and so on near by and Mikes Marina fishing charter if you are so inclined. Also Animal Park (which is a rip off in my opinion!!!)

I do not think Dreams Punta Cana have single rooms only single occupancy, we stayed in the basic deluxe room, no frills and we had a king size four poster bed, DVD player, sofa, full bathroom, mini bar and room service.

Either way you will have the pleasure of seeing "The Circus of Dreams" show at either resort...Lucky you!!

How rough??I like to swim but not with too many waves.It just isnt easy to pick the right place and hotel..of course everybody has a different opinion.I'm only looking for a lovely beach..and not a noisy hotel..

Then i would suggest Dreams Palm Beach in Cabeza del Toro. Allthough as i said i havent stayed there but if it is anything like Punta Cana i dont see why you wouldnt have a great time.
