Jul 13, 2025World Cafe is the best!
The staff at the World Cafe buffet was the absolute best. Specifically, Alexander (Alex) was super kind, attentive, and quick. The US should learn about customer service from them. Simply amazing. I'm so grateful ❤️

Great vacation for two families
Great overall experience - two families traveled together. Kids were 12, 14, 14. Super fun for us all. Nice for adults to be able to access the Secrets side. The swim pool with the slides was super fun! Food was exceptional! Rooms were perfect for the two families. Each couple had a king bed too. And the kids shared two doubles.

Dulce is the best!
Dulce was a great worker at the Gaming Room! We played a lot and she helped out with a smile everyday :). The hotel was great and so was the food

Great Resort and Staff
I would highly recommend this resort! It’s very large and there are so many things to do throughout the day, we never got bored. All of the food was amazing. The teppanyaki was so fun and I’d highly recommend getting a reservation. The best part of this resort is the staff. They are so attentive and personable. The pool concierge, Maria, was the sweetest person and made our grandma’s birthday celebration very special. Shoutout to our favorite people Yajsel, Javi, Wendy, and Sofia on the entertainment team for always bringing the fun to all of the activities! We loved hanging out with them!

Jul 07, 2025Mediocre at best
Bahía Mira Dreams boasts grand accommodations and stunning grounds, with the beach being a true highlight for this side of Mexico. While rip current advisories popped up a couple of days, other days allowed for wading into the ocean. The beach is sandy with some rocky patches at the wave break, but still offers a refreshing alternative to poolside lounging and is somewhat walkable. While nothing extraordinary, the pools served their purpose. The kids especially enjoyed the mini slide and the swim up bar pools. Though technically the swim up bar and jacuzzi in the Dreams (family side of the resort) is an adults only area, the relaxed enforcement across was appreciated by the families despite some bartenders seeming annoyed by endless strawberry daiquiri requests! That swim up bar, by the way, offered the best ocean view at the resort. Our main disappointments were the subpar food and limited restaurant selections. The seafood options were scarce and the overall menu across all restaurants lacked creativity. The Mexican themed restaurant, in particular, was surprisingly bland and more like reheated catering than a proper culinary experience. The alcohol selection in the Dreams section was noticeably bottom shelf options. We only found better options by venturing to the Secrets adult only pools after our kids enjoyed the kids' club. It would have been nice not to feel like second class guests in the Dreams section. On a positive note, the kids adored the water park and spent endless hours on the slides. The taco truck by that pool was the best food experience we had at the resort! Well the Italian did have some hits with our group as well. Most of the staff were friendly and accommodating, though a few bartenders seemed less enthusiastic. The spa offered a decent experience, and the saunas and water features made up for a creaky massage table. The zip line was also a decent experience. The kids loved zipping through the trees and trying to one up each other. The best part it’s in the resort so no traveling to a destination and it takes a little over an hour to complete. The guides were awesome and had the best attitudes of the staff at the resort. The resort offered some after dinner themed nights which we did not take advantage of many because the kids were mostly wiped out from the long days. In summary, a beautiful resort with great family friendly amenities and beachfront access, but room for improvement in dining and drink quality.
