Dreams Las Mareas Costa Rica - All Incluisve

Pros-beautifully maintained property. Pools are phenomenal, staff are well trained, really accommodating. Thought the food choices were good and the food for the most part was very good Cons-our checkin was not informative. We had to find things out on our own. They spent all the time trying to sell us a vacation plan. Skip the preferred cost. The bar and breakfast for preferred was underwhelming. No one monitored the preferred beach everyone used it. Lighting could be improved at night. We got lost frequently, big property

High hopes that turned out to be very disappointing. We had a preferred room which was very limited and wasn’t really worth the money. I advanced booked the romantic dinner and prepaid, we show up at the date and time and they don’t have the reservation and accuse me of lying until I walk all the way back to our room for my phone with the email confirmation. They still didn’t correct it that evening. The schedule for events was off all day. We booked a tour at the hotel and I asked if all 4 of us could participate in, I had our three year old with me. We show up at the tour and he can’t do anything, so we had to toddler swap for 5 hours. Am star would not refund the money. We asked about dinner reservations twice and were told completely wrong things. Two restaurants did not allow kids under 16 inside and their were limited tables outside, leaving the lackluster buffet as the main option. The grounds were just in need of maintainence and good luck getting a lounge chair after 8am. Very isolated property, so something to consider if you like to be out and about. Gift shop has outrageous prices, which I don’t mind some mark up, but these prices were 50% more. We’re on to our second stop in Costa Rica and it is already much better!

Being an all inclusive they would only deliver two drinks at a time to the room .

Amazing resort and staff. Highly recommend this hotel! Felt like I was in paradise this whole time. Only downfall is how far you are from the excursions. We did an ATV excursion from the guys on the beach at the hotel and went right from there. They were very knowledgeable and took us to different beaches with amazing views.

This property has many pools and plenty of space no matter how many people it never feels crowded. We liked that it has plenty of restaurants to choose from. The only thing we did not like was the first impresion from check-in counter. The guy that did our check in, was not very welcoming or inviting. Im not expecting a red carpet or anything, but atleast a welcome or a smile. I guess maybe because we are not members of the resort and just renters. Who knows, but usually when going to a resort in other places, they ask us what are we celebrating or what is the reason for a visit then they recommend places to go and visit. This was our first time in Costa Rica so we were new to things we could do. Some help would of been nice. We found that the person carrying our luggage and housekeepjng was nicer than the consierge and chick in people. The house keeping was so honest and humble costarican people.

Resort lures you with resort credit and then surprises you with a strings attached coupon book for way over priced services. Also they call absolute vodka top shelf along with other low shelf spirits. The food was average and the premium restaurants require reservations are always full.

The property was beautiful, but getting out to do excursions you had to travel far off.

Beautiful property and location! Loved everything about it! Great food and drinks. Our room had a fantastic ocean view. Pita Vida!

Ok so this is a REAL review. Room was great we had a mountain view and it was excellent in my opinion due to layout of property not worth spending money upgrading view. Comfort of beds was like a 6.5/10. Shower was like a 5/10, literally hot water was like 88degrees F, not warm nor hot. But after baking in the sun all day it was excellent, just first thing in the morning it felt like a polar plunge. The food for the most part was very good, some things superb, and 1 meal at portofino was uncooked. Drinks and service overall were above outstanding. He grounds were impeccable and pool large and well thought out. The beach was beautiful sandstone colored sand with moderate sized waves, and surrounded by lush forrest.

Location excellent. Local residents friendly and helpful
