Dreams Vallarta Bay Resort & Spa

The Resort & Its Setting

Dreams Vallarta Bay Resort & Spa is an all-suite, beachfront property in the Las Glorias zone of Puerto Vallarta, right on David Alfaro Siqueiros street. Google reviewers rate it 4.5/5 based on more than 5,500 reviews, and Google's own summary describes it as a premium all-suite resort with four restaurants, five bars, a spa, and separate activity programmes for kids and adults. It's part of the UVC/Dreams brand, which places it among established, professionally managed vacation-ownership resorts rather than a one-off independent property.

Puerto Vallarta and What's Nearby

The resort sits directly on Banderas Bay, so water sports and seasonal whale watching are right on your doorstep. Puerto Vallarta's famous malecón — the waterfront promenade lined with galleries, restaurants, and shops — is about 2 km away, and the cobblestoned Old Town, with its colonial-era streets and local dining, is roughly 3 km from the resort. Conchal Beach, a public beach with calm, swimmable water, is about 8 km away, and Puerto Vallarta International Airport (PVR) is around 11 km away, with direct flights from numerous US and Canadian cities. It's a destination that works equally well for a week of pure beach time or for owners who want to get out and explore.

Selling or Renting Your Week Here

If you own a week at Dreams Vallarta Bay and are considering selling it on, listing it for resale through an owner-to-owner marketplace like BidMyTimeshare.com means you set your own asking price, buyers contact you directly through the platform, and you pay a one-time listing fee rather than a percentage-based commission when the week sells.

Because Dreams Vallarta Bay is a UVC/Dreams-branded resort, a resale transfer typically goes through the resort's owners' association or the UVC management office rather than being a purely private handshake deal. Before you agree on a price with a buyer, both sides should confirm directly with the resort or management company: the current transfer or resale fee; whether the owners' association holds a right of first refusal on the sale; how long the transfer process usually takes; and the current annual maintenance fee. None of these figures are published here, so get them in writing from the resort before closing — doing so avoids disputes later and lets a buyer budget accurately.

Renters, meanwhile, are generally looking for straightforward things: confirmed unit size and view, the exact week or date range, proof the reservation is genuinely booked under the current owner's name, and a clear answer on what is and isn't included (resort fees, RCI exchange eligibility, and so on). Being upfront about these details in your listing tends to attract more serious inquiries.

Exchange Network

Dreams Vallarta Bay Resort & Spa is affiliated with RCI, so an owned week here can potentially be deposited and exchanged for stays at other RCI-affiliated resorts worldwide. A resale buyer should confirm with RCI or the resort directly that the specific week and unit they're buying still carries active exchange eligibility, since this can vary by contract.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

Puerto Vallarta runs on the Mexican peso, with ATMs widely available, and English is commonly spoken in tourist areas, though a few Spanish phrases go a long way. December through March brings the most reliable weather and books up fastest, so owners wanting to rent out that window should list early. Shoulder months (April–May and September–November) tend to offer better value and lighter crowds, which can appeal to renters working with more flexible dates.
