The Dominican Republic’s rising destination of Miches just welcomed a brand-new all-inclusive resort: Dreams Playa Esmeralda. The newly opened family-friendly property is the sister resort to the adults-only Secrets Playa Esmeralda and offers a vibrant alternative for travelers bringing kids, teens, or multigenerational groups.
With 500 rooms and suites along a pristine beachfront, Dreams Playa Esmeralda caters to both families and adults seeking a well-rounded, upscale experience. The resort’s biggest draw is its family-focused offerings: a full waterpark, an Explorer’s Club for younger children, and a Core Zone Teen Club. It’s part of the Hyatt Inclusive Collection, known for all-inclusive convenience and consistently elevated standards.

And yes, there’s a full-service spa for those moments of well-earned relaxation.
Guests can choose from nine different dining options, ranging from a Dominican-inspired local restaurant to a classic buffet. The resort also features seven bars, including a beach bar and a popular swim-up option—signature features of the Dreams brand. While the food may not be five-star gourmet, it suits families and large groups looking for variety and ease.
For those willing to splurge, the Preferred Club adds a premium layer to your stay. Upgraded rooms—like the ground-floor swim-out suites—offer direct pool access. The Preferred Club also comes with an exclusive lounge, better room locations, and enhanced service. Frequent guests of the brand often say it’s worth the extra cost.

Room rates currently start at around $414 per night for a junior suite with pool views and double beds. A swim-out suite starts closer to $514, and a king-bed version is approximately $554 per night. With the range of amenities, the price point offers solid value—especially for families seeking a spacious and activity-packed vacation.
Though Miches is secluded, it’s not hard to reach. Fly into Punta Cana International Airport, which is well-serviced by direct flights from major U.S. cities. From there, it’s about a 90-minute drive to the resort, either by rental car or a hotel-arranged transfer.
