Jul 13, 2025Deeply Disappointing Experience — Major Privacy and Service Failures
I stayed at Dreams Las Mareas Costa Rica in June 2025 and expected a luxurious, guest-centered experience. Unfortunately, my stay was marred by multiple service failures and an unacceptable breach of privacy. On the morning of June 22, I ordered breakfast via room service at 7:14 AM, which never arrived. Despite using the resort’s app (as promoted), my message went unanswered. When I spoke with the concierge in person, I was told I “should have called” instead, completely dismissing the app communication that the resort advertises. Later that day, the resort attempted to make amends by sending a fruit plate and wine to my room — a gesture I appreciated at first. However, just five minutes after delivery, the same staff member knocked once and immediately entered our room using a key, without waiting for permission. My roommate was partially undressed and in the middle of getting dressed, making the intrusion extremely uncomfortable and violating. Even after I formally complained, the damage to our sense of privacy and safety had already been done. This experience fell far below the standard of professionalism and respect I expected from a Dreams property and the Inclusive Collection brand. I cannot recommend this resort based on my experience. I hope management takes these issues seriously and prioritizes proper staff training to ensure future guests are treated with respect and care.

Jun 29, 2025Exceptional sad to see it close.
Truly amazing and stunning resort! Service was exceptional as was the food and drinks. The resort was clean, staff were friendly and went above and beyond. The grounds were gorgeous and lush, the wildlife was enjoyable and you felt like you were on an excursion for free. The beach was expansive and beautiful. Pools were expansive with great service. Absolutely no complaints. So sad to see this place close. Thank you to all the staff and this beautiful country for this unforgettable experience and memory.

Jun 13, 2025Nice stay!
Overall stay was good. The resort is beautiful, I don’t like that the beach is public. The staff were very friendly and helpful. There’s no distinction between preferred and non preferred guests. The food in the restaurants was delicious, I wish the buffet had non pork options. This is the last month for the resort as it’s being bought out.

Good
Overall the resort is nice, unless you’re a preferred guess you will not get any premium beverages. The lighting around the resort is poor and was a security concern. Also the rooms in building 3 need to be upgraded. The pools were very nice and relaxing but limited activities. If you are looking to book excursions, this is not the resort for you, everything is over an hour away. If you’re looking for a nice relaxing vacation with family, this is the place to stay, but if you’re looking for excursions and more of a busy environment, you may want to consider another resort. Most of the restaurants were good especially the Asian cuisine, the buffet is small and has limited selections. The Oceana restaurant by the pool was also great.
