Dreams surpassed my expectations of wedding day. Their onsite coordinator, Naomi, and I communicated via email for about 3 months leading up to the wedding. She was able to put together all my visions without me ever stepping onsite to the venue until the day before we got married. All of our guests had an incredible stay at Dreams as well. They definitely know what they’re doing there in terms of weddings and hospitality. -

Daniel was my wedding coordinator and I would recommend Him to anyone and do it 100x over. I sent Daniel a PowerPoint of my vision and THAT WAS IT, He made my dream wedding come true. My wedding was identical to the power point. The events leading up to the wedding were so perfect. Daniel did everything for us, I didn’t even have to think the whole time I was there. We started with a welcome cocktail, the next night we had a private dinner for rehearsal and then our wedding. Thank you Dreams for making the most important day of my life perfect! -

My wife and I had our wedding at this resort and couldn't have been happier! The wedding coordinator, Daniel, was absolutely incredible! The entire staff at Dreams makes sure that you feel right at home throughout your entire stay. We had stayed at Dreams twice before and have been impressed each time. Whether you step going on vacation with friends, celebrating your honeymoon, or marrying the love of your life, this resort is perfect all occasions. We plan to return for our wedding anniversary! Amazing! -

Daniel was absolutely amazing. I would recommend this venue to anyone! Everything was beautiful. I barely had to do anything. DO NOT USE FERNANDO photography. He comes with the resort package. He attempted to get into my accounts after the wedding and will not deliver my pictures. He is extremely unprofessional. Daniel is resolving the issue with him but do not use Fernando. I also hired a SEPARATE photography company. Jenn Guillen Costa Rica Wedding Photography. She was absolutely MAGIC. She is well worth the money and made the day so easy. Daniel and her were the best. Fernando is a scam do not even have contact with him. -

What a Dream!!
The entire week, and day was incredible.. an outstanding resort as we are huge AMResort fans.. this property knocked it out of the park. Gorgeous scenery and food/service outstanding. Our Wedding was on Arboleda Beach with the reception at the Seaside Terrace. I highly recommend the Seaside Terrace for a more private function. I utilized the bridal suite and it was well worth the money! We booked a SwimOut room that was also worth every penny.
The vision I had was completely brought to life, and was absolutely gorgeous.
If looking for a destination spot, Costa Rica has all the exotic traits to offer!! -

Andrea Toledo, our wedding coordinator, did such an amazing job planning and coordinating the details of our wedding! She and her staff were great at responding to our needs while we planned our destination wedding including 50 guests. The weather in September was unpredictable, and Andrea made a point to make us feel at ease and was flexible when it came time to make decisions about the weather. We have dubbed her our "wedding ninja", always working tirelessly behind the scenes to make sure the bride and groom, and every single guest was comfortable and happy. We highly recommend having your wedding at Dreams Las Mareas! The people, the food, the hospitality... Everything was absolutely amazing. -

I was super stressed out planning this destination wedding. Everyone’s super responsive except the weddings department! I had no idea what the total for my wedding was until the day before the ceremony! Colors were not right for some decor. It was supposed to be rose gold but it was just gold. I was just ready for the ceremony to be over with. I love Costa Rica and the resort itself but as far as weddings, I am glad it’s over. Oh and the steak served was cooked medium so my guests didn’t eat it. I asked that it be cooked well done for all guests. My makeup was very clownish so I ended up going to my room to fix it myself so that was also a waste. Overall, you have to be vigilant! Have someone at the resort to help you work with the staff at the resort so you don’t get stressed out. Then remember you’re getting married to share your life with someone and remain positive! Best of luck! -

Besides a few pitfalls we had with the resort, communication being primarily one of them, we still had an absolute amazing time getting married at this resort. So gorgeous, guests loved it, food was decent for an all inclusive, and my wedding reception was exceptional! Would do it here all over again! They def make up for the lack of communication when you get there -

Our wedding turned out exactly how we imagined it. We had a total of 41 people in our group that arrived/departed throughout the week. Our ceremony and reception took place on the beach. We're very easy going when it comes to details and even with a few hiccups, would still recommend Dreams with some tips/caveats:
- Start the planning as early as possible. Tico Time is a thing and they're much slower to respond.
- The resort is secluded so tours are either more limited or require long windshield time (and with an unlimited resort, you're essentially wasting money not spending your time at the resort).
- DO NOT recommend the Preferred Club - it's not the same caliber as other all-inclusive's for the price. Basic rooms are literally the same thing - except PC gets you a few mini bottles and some Pringles.
- Recommend upgrading packages to include bistro lighting (especially for the beach) and a DJ if not already included.
- Our package came with a photographer and I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the photos and natural shots they were able to capture. I also hired my own photography team that was with me for 8 hours versus the 1 hour ceremony/cocktail hour that came in my package.
- The Caribbean Trio that played during our cocktail hour was a really great addition - we loved them.
- We added a coconut/rum station to our cocktail hour and people really enjoyed that.
- DO NOT recommend spa mani/pedi - ridiculously overpriced and it's not a specialty. Maybe 15 color choices, didn't apply gel nails correctly and came off in two days, etc. Overall technique is just not there.
- DO recommend makeup as my artist did a fantastic job (wish I knew her name)!
- Booked the bridal suite for $125, but they were trying to charge for extra champagne bottles ordered which is ABSURD. I can technically order 20 glasses of champagne, but not a bottle.
**Overall, amazing time and a dream wedding week. Technicalities of the resort and fine print make for annoyances, but again we’re laid back and just talked to them about our issues and they were solved.

Erin B. Sent on 06/27/2024Dissapointing to say the least
Writing on behalf of my sister... but truly would never recommend this to anyone after attending. From start to finish the coordinators were unresponsive and unhelpful. Contracted prices and requests were ignored and overlooked. Timelines changed without any notice, flowers were extremely wilted, sound systems at the ceremony were broken, and communication was minimal. If you're considering Dreams, be sure to NOT rely on in-house coordination and be prepared to fight for things you were promised.
