Overview

Dreams Acapulco Resort & Spa, a 4-star property, officially opened its doors on November 1, 2019, following a major renovation that transformed the original 1971 structure into Acapulco's premier Unlimited-Luxury® destination. Situated on the picturesque Icacos Beach along Acapulco Bay, the resort is a vibrant retreat just 14 km (8.7 miles) and a 20-25 minute drive from Acapulco International Airport (ACA). Please note: The resort is temporarily closed from December 14, 2023, to December 31, 2024, but aims to resume year-round operations.

The resort stands out as the first Unlimited-Luxury® resort in Acapulco, offering an all-inclusive experience that redefines indulgence. Guests enjoy an array of amenities without hidden costs, from gourmet à la carte dining to limitless top-shelf spirits and 24-hour room service. This signature program ensures a truly effortless and sophisticated vacation for both couples and families, making it a unique offering in the region.

Culinary delights abound with seven gourmet dining options, ranging from casual eateries to elegant restaurants. Guests can savor diverse international cuisines, with no reservations required, allowing for spontaneous culinary adventures. Additionally, four bars and lounges serve limitless top-shelf spirits and refreshing beverages, ensuring that a perfect drink is always within reach. Portofino, one of the specialty restaurants, even offers an exclusive adults-only dining experience.

For relaxation and rejuvenation, the Dreams Spa by Pevonia provides a serene escape. Featuring five multi-functional treatment rooms, the full-service spa offers a range of pampering services designed to revitalize body and mind. While the exact size in square feet is not specified, the spa promises a tranquil ambiance for guests seeking wellness and personal care.
