Dreams Estrella del Mar Mazatlán Golf & Spa Resort

Ruffo was great and very attentive at the pool! The vibe and atmosphere overall was great and the rooms are super nice! All of the restaurants have great food and amazing service as well. We never felt like we needed to ask for anything! Thank you dreams!!

We enjoyed getting to know Juan, one of the activities staff members, on our most recent visit to the resort and spa. Juan's passion and commitment significantly improved our stay. It was easy to see that Juan had a lively personality and was genuinely passionate about his profession. Fabiola was one of the staff members we met at the activities. They consistently went above and beyond to ensure visitors were involved and had a good time. Juan's contribution to the resort's activities program was invaluable. His passion for sports, engaging personality, and attentive service made him a standout member of the staff. Whether enjoying a game of table tennis or beach volleyball, Juan's presence ensured every moment was enjoyable and memorable. I highly recommend seeking out Juan during your stay at the resort and spa for an unforgettable sports experience.

To begin the review, let me iterate that as of June 27th, 2024, the Resort is not fully complete. It’s pretty clear that they needed to rush a few things to reach a deadline and some things such as the pool bar, kids club, Mexican Restaurant, Spa and Theater are straight up not even open yet. There are slight design flaws such as sliding door supports being too low and doors being too heavy for their hinges causing a little bit of lean. There has been construction and fire alarm tests. Now with that being said… The resort is very comfortable. While I am American and my Spanish is basically non-existent, I rarely felt like staff weren’t understanding what I was trying to say. The staff are clearly facing complaints and they are trying to do their best. A lot of the waiters, bartenders and poolside servers have been not only friendly and helpful, but gone out of their way to ensure my stay has been excellent. I’ve spent 6 Nights and I think that’s perfect! The resort isn’t one of the biggest Dreams but the restaurants and bars along with the amazing Lazy River and great pools have made it so easy to sit and lounge with a tasty cocktail. The rooms are also super nice. I’ve experienced amazing AC and a great ceiling fan. While my time hasn’t been so otherworldly hot (I say that while being here in late June), the AC has been very comfortable and been a great break from the heat. The beds are comfy and very well made by the hardworking and attentive housekeeping. Very spacious and comfy and all rooms facing the beach and pool area ensures a breathtaking view every time you open the curtains. The food can be a bit of a mixed bag. While the World Cafe has been consistently great for breakfast, it’s dinner offerings are a little lackluster. Especially compared to Oceana and Portofino. World Cafe’s food could be described as sometimes a little cold or unremarkable but still decent quality. Barefoot grill is to be expected. Just super solid poolside snacks. Oceana, Portofino and Meraki are definitely where you’ll be experiencing the Dreams signature, foodwise. They’re super good and have some of the most warm and outstanding staff. As it stands, if you care about great pools, great drinks and great food, you’re going to be pleased. The bars have an excellent atmosphere with great bartenders and excellent drinks to boot. You’ll be sure to have a great drink here! While there are flaws, the potential for the resort is definitely there and I could see myself coming back in a year or two once all of the kinks are worked out. They are a little understaffed and there are just minor design flaws but overall, this resort is very comfy and very accommodating! Final Rating: 3.8/5 Can’t beat that view!!!

We had a wonderful stay at the resort. We were there for a week and while there was still some construction and not everything was open, it was a very relaxing trip. The views were outstanding and the staff were all hard working, friendly, helpful, and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Luckily for us it wasn’t that crowded so we could thoroughly enjoy the pool and various restaurants. Several staff stood out to us and we want to give a shout out to Andres, Yulisa, Alonso, Edgar, Oscar, Fabiola, Gill, and Ivan to name a few. Whether they were checking us in, or making sure our every poolside and restaurant need was met, staff were all excellent. We will definitely return and highly recommend the resort. Our only regret was that we didn’t into Mazatlán and take in the area so next time.

At Dreams Estrella Del Mar hanging by the pool with the family. So far the pool service has been great. Ruffo helped us with the drinks and food. Plenty more f seats to choose from. Entertainment has been fun to watch. Enjoying the view by the ocean.

The Sugar Reef bar is awesome, well stocked and the Barman Abel & Ruffo are phenomenal!! They are very courteous, friendly and most of all prompt with their service when you are at the pool thirsty after a day of swimming and pool lounging. I highly recommend you ask for Abel and Ruffo!!

Great soft opening, The resort is on limited low occupancy, so all pools, bars and restaurants are not crowded. The staff is extremely friendly and eager to help, specially the restaurant and Front desk staff ( Joel, Manuel, Aaron and David, Roberto, Omar, Hugo, Caro, Eunice) Food is amazing, fresh seafood is the top choice at the Occeana and MERAKI restaurant, Portofino’s osobucos lamb was my favorite!!! Rooms are new, beds feel like clouds and pillows menu is available for different options. Cleaning service on the room is every day, and room service is fast and convenient for night service. Coco cafe has a special mention, different options for pepitos and sandwiches!!! Top service by Karla, Thuy and Nathalia. Drinks at the pool by Isaac, Annuar and Edgar are the best. Dont forget to try the geltato shop pictaccio flavor was my fav. Gym is Clean, small but, complete, you only miss the dumbells. Patio restaurant is not done yet, but was not notice because food was always available and so may options im sad I could not try all of them dishes. Spa is not open yet still under costruction but did nod needed we were busy all day by the pool and eating Great new option in Mexico,

Hola! Les comparto mi experiencia en este hotel nuevo. El check in fué lento, el hotel no esta terminado por lo que hay trabajadores por todos lados, mucho ruido de construcción y polvo y suciedad por todas partes. En mi cuarto había una filtración de agua que nunca arreglaron, la cafetera no funcionaba, el room service era muy tardado y de limpieza lo único que hicieron fue “tender la cama” todos los días y siempre después de las 4 pm. La comida es muy rica pero hay muy poca variedad y no tenían suficiente, se acababa. La playa sucia y con poca vista dese los camastros. Sinceramente, lo pensaría dos veces antes de regresar ya que no es nada barato.

Ruffo mi mesero increíble y súper amable . Aún no esta terminado el hotel completo pero es muy buena opción para descansar el menú del oceana durante el lunch delicioso pero en la noche si le fallaron. Pero de todo lo demas muy rico. El restaurante italiano delicios
