My husband and I had the pleasure of going to dreams onyx November 18-25, and let me tell you we were beyond pleased with our experience! We arrived late Friday afternoon, were whisked away in a golf cart to preferred club, and received a warm welcome from the staff. We woke up Saturday morning, and were in total awe of the beautiful grounds, staff, food and drinks. First impressions go extremely far- and I will say my first impression is how clean and sparkling the facilities were- even the public washrooms were constantly cleaned.
We had the pleasure of spending the week with our Butler Francisco, he was SO kind, attentive and offered amazing recommendations. He offered to take us and our friends to the Breathless for dinner and picked us up in a golf cart. Francisco kept us in the loop with daily entertainment, and would pop by the pool or beach to check in if we needed anything.
I asked Francisco to help me with a little birthday celebration for my hubby- he had everything planned and set up- we moved rooms due to upgrading- he moved everything for us and kept us enjoying our vacation. I had booked an appointment at the spa and cancelled due to plans changing- I felt awful as I hate to cancel anything- Francisco was so understanding and truly made our requests or plans his top priority. He had 25 other rooms he was servicing, he truly made us feel welcome, even helped in assisting our friends when they arrived.
The preferred pool is where we spent most of our time- the pool was cleaned every morning by staff, the pool bar and service was AMAZING! Each day warm welcomes, drinks on point and hilarious staff- Jensey was one of our fav bar tenders- he was SO kind and always stopped by to see if we wanted another drink, needless to say both hands were full of drinks lol there was a female bartender who was also AMAZING!!!! I’m so sad I forgot her name!
Water slides/lazy river- we had so much fun!! The slides are pretty fast! Lazy river was great to have a few good laughs!
Food and restaurants- quality was great- service was amazing! We did the hibachi which was fun- not much of a show but maybe just an off night. Nothing negative to say!
The night entertainment- our fav show was the rock show, male and female singer were both great, the male singer gave the entire audience goose bumps! This guy needs shout outs he’s definitely gonna go far, gets the crowd pumpin! Other than the rock show and the Madonna show- entertainment was lacking a little bit, however preferred club guests can go to Breathless right beside for night entertainment.
Rooms- the linen, pillows and towels were the best quality we’ve experienced at any resort (been to 6) the maid does a great job at cleaning the room! Bar and snacks are stocked daily- m&ms, milky way chocolate and pringles. Coke and sprite in the fridge- this was amazing!!
Secret treasures- a little hut about a 15 minute walk down the beach to the left of the resort (if you’re staring at the ocean) man these girls were great! Hubby and I both got a 60 min massage and only $35 each- I would highly recommend! There’s even a little bar you can have a drink if they’re busy. Everyone at the resort was heading here- can’t beat the prices as the resort spa was quite outrageously priced.
Overall- the dreams onyx reflects high quality and great leadership, you can tell they have a great management team by how each staff responds and treats their guests, so friendly and happy to assist- the service was consistently great across the entire resort! KUDOS to the staff and leadership team!
This vacation will be difficult to top due to the staff, service, cleanliness and grounds!
