    Worth a try

    The bungalows at Dreams Il Mare are great but the butler service was lacking. The food was OK. The other staff were nice. We also had access to Zoetry restaurants and the food their was ok. However, the beach access from.the bungalows made the entire trip well worth it. I would gladly stay at Il Mare again. I'll just ask for a different butler.

    Hopeful 2026

    Dreams Curacao reviews are a bit deceptive - the good ones usually refer to the new Il Mare Adults Only section - guests at the original resort are not allowed to go onto that property - there is an actual security guard preventing this - guest at the original resort are also prohibited from eating at Il Mare or Zoetry, even though the food at Dreams is edible at best - the birds were not an issue for us - loved being outside since it was snowing at home I have asked Hyatt to separate the reviews for the two properties that are actually beside each other, Il Mare and Dreams Curacao (Zoetry is up the street a bit), but so far they have not done so - all reviews about the outdoor furniture and towels are true - hopefully soon to be remedied. The entertainment staff at Dreams were fabulous, there was always something going on (not sure about ocean sports) - our room was very clean but housekeeping was inconsistent - towels seemed to be an issue both inside and out! The Dreams property is beautiful - gardening staff work very hard all day - the pool is gorgeous, and vacuumed cleaned each morning I will be returning next year with much hope that significant changes have been made.

    I Would Definitely Return

    If you choose this property, choose the Il Mare Bungalows. They're really nice and come with butler service. If you can get Sudry as your butler, you will NOT be disappointed. She was AMAZING! I traveled with other family, and between us, we had a total of four bungalows. Unfortunately, the service wasn't consistent between us. My butler was great. My sister's butler was nonexistent. My cousin's and the other couple , their butler was okay. Apparently, each bungalow should have a bottle of Blue Curaçao, bittle of champagne, a cheese plate, a Snickers Bar, and some Pringle⁩s. We didn't have any Pringles nor did my cousin. We didn't get a cheese plate, but one was sent a bit later My sister didn't have any Blue Curaçao. Food was decent. I wasn't blown away, but I definitely didn't starve. Drinks, whether alcoholic or non-alcoholic, were DELICIOUS! Bungalows are spacious and situated right on the beach. They also come with a dedicated pool, restaurant, and bar. All were nice. Casino was a little on the crappy side. Very outdated and not inviting, but I'm not a gambler of that magnitude, so it wasn't a deal breaker. Other staff were kind and helpful. Any issue I had, my butler took care of it.

    Hopefully better next time.

    Food was terrible. Slow service. Inconsistent quality. Went with two other couples all had room issues. We stayed in the pods. Resort was clean. Staff was friendly. We complained to management and have an opportunity to return at their cost. We will give them the opportunity to improve.

    Dreams Curacao

    Overall the hotel was satisfactory, the dining areas were clean and the staff was good. Our room was clean and had a great view of the ocean, especially the sunsets. There were some downsides to the resort, our bathroom needed an overhaul, it was tired. The pool lounge chairs were uncomfortable, sagging and the cushions falling apart. There was only 1 ice maker working in the resort. There was only 1 bar open except at dinner time. The washroom stall doors in the lobby, locks were broken so you had to hold them closed, as well they were continually out of soap. We had a nice time but wouldn not likely return.
