Puerto Vallarta - All Inclusvie

Dreams - Puerto Vallarta
Stayed at the all inclusive Dreams as our last big splurge for our honeymoon. The food overall was good - tasty at the upscale restaurants, but the fast food places was horrendous. Pricing was much better than the Royal Hideaway, but the service was no where near the caliber of Royal. However, it was still very good and a nice all inclusive.

World Cafe - Highly Unrecommended
This is the first place we went to at Dreams, since I was suckered into the Vegas style buffet they had. It was like the worse cafeteria food ever. Mac and cheese tasted like cardboard, the fries were soggy and gross, the pasta was a clumpy mess. The lone bright spot was the chinese spareribs. Stick with room service for the wings and tater skins - they rule!



Portofino - Recommended

Surprisingly good Italian food. Lamb chops were ridiculously tender and juicy. Pastas were cooked well.

Oceana - Recommended
A seafood restaurant that had the best escargot I've had in a long long time. The past couple of escargot I've had were drowning in butter that tasted like nothing. These were nice and earthy.
