Michael Jordon was so very kind and helpful. Beyonce, the manager, was out but I found many staff members were able to direct me. Micky was very easy to communicate with via WhatsApp. Best beach I've ever seen. Absolutely stunning, crystal clear turquoise waters. Teaching in the grassy area at 9:30am was very hot. Low attendance but great students and guests throughout the resort.

I taught yoga in the grass near the main pool. Entertainment team was great and engaging. Michael Jordan shines above all others! It’s been more than 3 years since my last teaching vacation. I won’t let that happen again. Another beautiful resort and experience being able to share what I love while recharging for a week. This was a really beautiful and clean resort. I can’t say enough good things about the staff. Every single department was outstanding and friendly. They made it that much more enjoyable.

Lovely trip. Loved teaching and my students. Micky is the head of entertainment and a wonderful human. Yoga was in the grass by the pool.

4th teaching vacation and as always it was a great experience. Everything went really smooth. Yoga class is held on a grassy area by the main pool. Classes were well attended.

Yoga was on the grass by the main pool. They have mats. I did not play music with the lovely outdoor sounds happening. This was my first family resort experience. It was really good. I love my teaching vacations and a member of the FB group. I do find it very helpful to hear others experiences when I’m selecting a resort to travel to. Thanks Fit Bodies!

I used my aux cord to plug into their sound system. Zumba by the pool is amazing setting for class! The E-Team and I announced and invited guests to class. This was a wonderful experience. Everything went smoothly. Can't wait to book again!

The E-Team is great. We all go around and promote the classes to other guests. Booking was easy and appreciate the follow up emails. I look forward to book again. Only issue is some days my class time was advertised incorrectly but it's not a big deal.

Thanks Fit Bodies for being prompt to answer questions and concerns. I taught PiYo and yoga here and loved it! Sometimes the bluetooth speaker didn't work so you may want to take your own portable. Telling guests about your classes and when/where is helpful. The Entertainment team and staff are incredible here. Overall fabulous vacation for my family and we'll definitely consider this location again! Patience was needed at this resort with check-in. We waited well over an hour to check-in after a long day of travel. LOVED the resort, Spending quality time with my companion/family, water park for the kids!

I just got home from an amazing week at this resort! I offered to teach something besides a stretching class each day but the entertainment staff wanted me to do a stretching class at 9:30 in the grass by Oceana. Attendance was low because the guests had a hard time finding the schedule. By the end of the week I did have 5 guests who participated.

Amazing resort May 30, 2021 week. Beautiful, clean, warm. Friendly staff. Daily yoga class at 9:30 am either at the grass location near the main pool and swim up bar area (Near Oceana) or at the beach oceanfront. For beach yoga staff provides a speaker and music. For grass area I brought a bluetooth speaker. Staff provides mats and I grabbed towels for everyone as well. Fantastic food, beautiful views.

The hotel staff and entertainment team were great. Friendly, helpful, and accommodating. I have nothing but good things to say about this experience. The resort was pretty empty so the classes were small and I only had one class per day about mid morning on the beach. Thursday I didn’t have a class due to tropical storm Isaias hitting the island and all activities were cancelled. The resort took great care of us during the storm to keep us safe and even brought snacks and food to our rooms so we didn’t have to go out in the storm. The resort and beach were both gorgeous and the resort took cleanliness seriously. The room was so nice and luxurious as well, food was excellent, entertainment staff was helpful, and the property was immaculate. I had a wonderful time and feel blessed to have had the opportunity! Thank you Dreams Macao and FitBodies! The whole trip was very smooth. I had no issues with flying into DR, going through customs, or the resort. The resort took cleanliness and safety seriously.

The resort was new so it was shiny and clean. We went in Sept. 2020 and there were still areas that were being painted and we could see some electrical work happening. The staff is great and accommodating and grateful that you are there. I was asked to teach yoga poolside when I arrived. With the resort at 25%, there wouldn't be enough people for two classes per day and the idea was that there were always more people poolside so a class there might attract a few people. Most days I only had one or two people, the biggest class I taught was four people. On one day, the schedule said "stretch" so I taught a Yoga Stretch rather than a flow. Over the weekend, the resort got much fuller but it was a family/party crowd and not a yoga crowd so my classes remained small. Our room was lovely and the housekeeping staff was great. My partner had to work so they could only come in and refresh the room during his lunch break and they were lovely about accommodating that. We tipped them generously The food was hit and miss and some of the restaurant staff was still getting their bearings. Himitsu had the absolute best food and we ate there several times - sushi, teriyaki, etc, El Patio was also excellent. I did not love the food at The Barefoot Cafe but it was one of the only ones open for lunch (and once, the only option.) But overall, the resort had plenty of options, including a fantastic World Cafe that was open all night and served not only coffee but also ice cream and little sandwiches and desserts. We liked the room service options as well. The beachfront area is small compared to other resorts and ther e is a public path between you and the public beach. The resort has created a sandy area just behind the little public bath that is guarded by a staff member. It is here where you can bar service. The water is a bit rough and we heard there are currents. There wasn't one day that the red flag wasn't raised so we never went in the ocean as I am not a strong swimmer. We took a walk up the beach but were swarmed by locals trying to sell us stuff. For the most part, they do leave you alone if you wave them off but we did have one man who was very aggressive and followed us all the way trying to sell us drinks and food. As it is a Dreams, it is a family resort so it was hard to find a quiet corner without a lot of kids running around or splashing. There is a preferred pool but it's oddly situated, away from the ocean and it has no view other than the shrubbery around it. Overall, we had a great time and the resort is beautiful. I'd imagine that by the time the pandemic is over, they will have worked out all the kinks.

Amazing amazing amazing!! The resort is brand new and stunning. Signed up to teach Pilates. The absolute best resort I have been too. My husband and I are here now and it is an incredible experience. Teaching schedule is one class at 930am. The schedule sometimes says yoga, sometimes stretching, and some days it wasn’t listed. Superman in the entertainment department is the contact, very nice guy. I had 1-2 participants up until this point, but the hotel is only at 25% capacity, and 2 mornings it was just my husband and I, we did about 30 minutes thinking it would pull some attention. I also taught Aqua class yesterday, I offered and they said yes, had about 12 guests join. I taught Pilates on the beach under the umbrellas, 930am is hot in the sun. I arrived early and cleared a few umbrellas and placed towels down. We did the upgrade to preferred and asked for a room near the beach. The check in process was different because of covid. You first must fill out a questionnaire on your phone related to any symptoms then they seat you for check in. All staff wear masks, even outside on the beach. They really went out of their way to make sure the room was what we wanted. Room was out of this world. Oceanfront master suite. We did 3 lobster dinners! Amazing dinners! Staff is super nice and friendly. Restaurants were a bit of a wait but the food was delicious! The buffet was closed other than today is was open for breakfast. Please reach out with any questions.
