I was staying at Dreams Vallarta Bay however the morning yoga classes were held next door at Secrets. Easy enough to walk next door, just something to be aware of. I was asked to teach SUP yoga in addition to the morning yoga so ended up teaching 2 classes per day. I had originally chosen this resort because the listing indicated one class per day, so perhaps that needs to be updated. It does seem highly variable though, based on other reviews. I wasn’t sure if it was ok to say no when asked to teach the second class so I said yes, even though I have never taught SUP yoga before. It went well and I enjoyed the experience but it’s more teaching than I normally do in a week, so definitely something part time teachers should keep in mind - a working vacation is not quite the same as a full vacation. I appreciate your need to promote the resorts and your placements but there doesn’t seem to be an opportunity to exchange any honest critical feedback with other instructors. Having traveled to many AI resorts over the years, including other Dreams locations, I can say the service and food at DVB are top notch, however the location is not great as the overall footprint of the resort is tiny for the number of guests it holds. The beach is not ideal - small, very rocky, litter washing up on shore (did not feel comfortable walking barefoot) and rough waves by afternoon. The pool area is also quite crowded and the water is not very clean due to the volume of people. Large portions of the pool or beach areas were regularly closed off for private events, there was also construction happening with wood paneling blocking off part of the pool deck, beach and view.

Love everything about being able to teach on vacation. I walked around and invited guests to join, The Entertainment team walked around and invited guests to join, classes were also posted on the Activity Board, and Dreams app. Great entertainment team. I’m here 2 weeks. First week was SUP yoga. This week regular yoga.

Fabulous experience! Great vacation! They have water spin bikes and water weights. Both were wonderful to work with and the guests enjoyed the classes. I love teaching while on vacation and can't wait to travel again.

Zumba was on the pool deck. One day I taught at Dreams and the next Secrets. Booking and communication was super easy. The staff was wonderful. No matter what, these trips are a joy!

As the yoga teacher, I was asked to teach SUP yoga. I did not expect this so want to give a heads up. It was a great experience. Class was also poolside or on the beach. These trips are amazing!

I just came back from Dreams Vallarta. Both Secrets and Dreams had a Fitness pro as well as a local instructor who teaches yoga three mornings a week. I taught yoga in the gazebo three mornings a week, and the Secrets instructor taught SUP in the pool (1/2 hour class) I would expect if there is only one instructor, they would ask you to do both classes. SUP in the pool is fun...be open to doing it because it is starting to get popular with the resorts. The Entertainment team is led by Jimmy (Assistant Director) He and his team are great and cover both properties. The resort itself is beautiful, with the best view of sunsets every evening from the extended lobby. Food is excellent with a wide variety to choose from, and the service is great. This resort is about 20 min from the airport and also allows you the opportunity to walk into downtown PV which is fun side trip. Thank you FitBodies for another great opportunity. I will definitely be back to this resort again.

I taught here when it was called "Now Amber" in April of 2019 I believe. It was my first teaching vacation and a wonderful experience! The entertainment was so great and made me feel very welcomed. They participated in my classes. Classes were small (2-6) I taught once a day by the pool at 3PM, which I found to be an awkward time. It would have been nice to do it in the morning before it got extremely hot out, so I could enjoy the rest of my day. All in all, a beautiful resort and wonderful staff!

Hi I taught yoga here when it was still called Now Amber - it's the same resort but new name. I taught by the pool. The entertainment team provided the music. The Entertainment team announced my classes, I walked around and invited guests to join. I loved the time to relax and rejuvenate, The whole luxury vacation! The entertainment team was wonderful to work with! The entertainment team was so helpful and kind. They were very fun to work with. I would say it was a wonderful experience. My only suggestion would be to offer the classes earlier in the day.
