Pros & Cons

Dreams Bahia Mita Surf & Spa Resort, by AMR Collection, an All-Inclusive Resort by Hilton

Pros

  • Every room is a suite — even entry-level bookings come with ~500 sq ft of space, which meaningfully reduces the cramped feeling common at comparable price-point all-inclusives.
  • 27 dining venues means dining variety rarely becomes repetitive on a 7-night stay.
  • Explorer's Club hours (9am–10pm) are among the longest kids' program windows in Riviera Nayarit.
  • Whale watching from the beach at no extra cost January–March.
  • Pickleball courts are unusual at Mexican all-inclusives and a genuine perk for regular players.

Cons

  • The resort is large enough that the walk from some room buildings to the beach is 5+ minutes — confirm room location relative to the beach when booking.
  • The water park doesn't open until 11am, which is frustrating if you have children who are active before 9am.
  • Pool surrounds have been flagged as slippery — exercise caution particularly with running children.
  • The Dreams/Secrets boundary can be confusing; some amenities that appear accessible are restricted to Secrets guests or Preferred Club members.

Sandals Grenada Resort & Spa

Pros

  • Pink Gin Beach is genuinely calm and swimmable — sheltered cove geometry prevents the choppy surf that affects more exposed Caribbean beaches.
  • Ten restaurants for 257 rooms is a high ratio, resulting in shorter waits and more consistent kitchen quality than larger Sandals properties.
  • Five-minute airport transfer is among the shortest in the Sandals chain — no long bus rides after a redeye.
  • SkyPool suites with private infinity plunge pools are architecturally distinctive and not replicated at most other properties.
  • PADI scuba diving up to two dives/day is included — at $80–100 per dive externally, this adds real value for certified divers.
  • The property's smaller, quieter personality makes it work well for couples who want intimacy over high-energy activity.

Cons

  • The Sandals app reservation system is unreliable — restaurants show as fully booked while tables are available, and closures go unannounced.
  • "Partial ocean view" and even some "ocean view" rooms deliver disappointing sightlines — verify the specific building and floor before booking.
  • Butler Elite categories represent a meaningful price jump; the value is clearest for guests who actually use 24-hour room service and prefer to delegate planning.
  • Beach lounger availability at the South Seas pool requires early claiming (pre-8:30 AM on busy weeks) — not ideal for late risers.
  • Older sections of the property show maintenance wear relative to the newer Italian village buildings.
