Upside: Overall good hotel and restaurants. The Asian restaurant and Carnival buffet was very good. The 3rd floor lobby bar and hang out area was very nice. Down sides: room service, pool food and drinks were mediocre. At check in they try to rope you into a time share so BEWARE. Very pushy and not ok as we paid over $650 a night and didn’t want to get hustled upon arrival. Also the pool area felt like a cruise ship. Can’t sit on the beach front chairs as vendors harrass constantly. Looked like majority of people were over 50 or had small children. DJ was way too loud and most of the music genre not appropriate for the overall age of guests. They did change genres part of the day but hard relax with the music blaring. Room was nice and clean but the smell of the cleaning solution was overwhelming. Had to leave the slider open all night to keep the smell down and keep fresh air circulating.

Staff was amazing. Friendly, accommodating and helpful. Spacious rooms and property with many food and entertainment comforts to offer.

Everything was great! The only thing I’m very disappointed is the amount of pressure they use to buy their membership. They take a lot of your free time and they are very pushy and keep offering after mentioning not interested.

We went with a large group (20 adults 22 kids). Small to medium size resort. Which worked for us with kids due to a lot of walking from one place to another. Most of us stayed at the Preferred Club, which is a separate building but right next to the main buffet, pool and beach. Advantages of Preferred club is that each room comes with a personal assistant, who you can text and request anything. Has access to somewhat premium drinks on the 2nd floor. Has small lounge area with food items 24hrs, next to the concierge on the ground floor. Overall its great. Food: pretty decent. They try to add variety daily for lunch and dinner. Seevice is pretty good but can be a bit of delay based on how busy it is. But they try their best. Restaurants are good, different items compared to buffett. Must try the seafood restaurant next to the pool, they got fresh catch (red snapper) fried and pork belly tacos are amazing. But everything on the menu was good. Snack bar by the pool has amazing fried fish tacos, plus chicken fingers, hotdogs, burgers, fries, nachos. Pools: well maintained, the waiters are pretty quick with the drinks. Some mixed drinks could be a bit too sweet. But overall good. Beach: okay, nothing compared to Cancun beaches. Although no seaweeds, but tons of rocks which made it difficult for kids and elderly to walk around in the water. But the area outside of the beach is very clean. Activities: kids club, nigh club, and had shows some days. But mostly signing and karaoke.

Had a great time at BFF's birthday weekend. Will come to Dreams Villarta again.
