DREAMCATCHER by DW - ADULTS ONLY

Strong coffee. Calm communal spaces. Home away fomr home feeling. Decor, bedding, simple details (hooks, mirrors, candles, plants), outdoor shower.

Perhaps some lotion in the room; pre-charged red light mask battery.

The staff were amazing! We had to wait for our room and a small power outage, they gave us comp champagne and discount. Whatever we needed, they made it happen! And the room was immaculate, those two ate top priority when we travel - staff and cleanliness and they did not fail either

We weren’t fully prepared for the mosquitos, however either repellent which they made available at the desk and what we picked up from the store, we were good

Nice design and good location

The breakfast

It was clean and comfortable

The ladies on staff were all great, the male staff left me feeling put off.

They were very generous: we made a last minute reservation and chose "run of the house", meaning the hotel got to choose our room, and they gave us a suite! Beautiful space, would absolutely go again.

very good experience for a solo trip !! The atmosphere was very chill, peace and cozy. The location is perfect, close to everything

It’s a beautiful property with wonderful common spaces. The food was amazing. Every breakfast was delicious.

We did not have hot water in our room. We were told two different stories about it. One which seems to be the truth is that one side of the building does not have hot water. Also, they burn incense all day and night and it can be a bit much. Especially late at night.

Cuando llegas, parece un hotelito boutique mono por fuera, entrada ajardinada y con olor a incienso situado bastante cerca de la playa. El cocinero y uno de los chicos de recepción fueron muy amables y atentos. La cama era cómoda. Hotel para vegetarianos y amantes del estilo hippie.

La habitación fue decepcionante. Estaba situada en un pasillo estrecho y lúgubre con una puerta sin insonorizar se oía todo lo que pasaba fuera. Dentro parecía más bien un trastero o garaje convertido en habitación con poca luz y sin vistas. La ventana era de celosía de cemento y que daba, creemos, a la habitación o baño de otro cliente. El techo tenía manchas de goteras, las paredes y suelos desconchados, el baño igual, muy rústico, poco higiénico e incómodo, la ducha (con cortina...) estaba dentro de una bañera altísima peligrosa para salir. En los toalleros colocados en un pared porosa se podían ver las manchas de humedad o peores cosas, nada higiénico. La piscina es como un jacuzzi de cemento, frente a la recepción y no tiene zona de tumbonas. El personal no saludaba casi nunca, te ignoraban y no tenían ninguna intención de hablar en español aunque sabían. No quisieron llamarnos a un taxi sabiendo que no teníamos cobertura móvil. La comida es toda vegetariana, no hay leche de vaca ni para el desayuno. Deberían avisar que es para vegetarianos y no hacen excepciones para gente normal. Teníamos el vuelo muy tarde y nos cobraron 55 dólares por quedarnos en la habitación sólo 2 horas más. Por unos 300€ la noche sin desayuno, para mi gusto, no merece la pena.

Location and outdoor shower and hammock

The confort of the place and the room was amazing

The proximity to the beach cannot be beat, and the hotel asthetics are beautiful. The patios are a definite high point, and the front desk staff are as nice and helpful as can be.

If you're looking for privacy, this place is not for you. I could hear everything my neighbor was doing, and I mean EVERYTHING. The hotel should not advertise itself as having a pool, what it has is a medivail dunk tank. I read before I arrived that it was more of a dipping pool so I was prepared for a smaller pool I could use briefly to cool off, but in actuality it was non-functional. I did not see one person using it the entire week I was there. Additionally-the two times I tried to order coffee at the cafe the person working was unable to help me because they were not a barista. Lastly, I was put in the wrong room the first night of my stay and I was offered slight compensation through items I had picked up in the hotel shop, but never actually received the compensation. It's a beautiful hotel, but oversells itself on most aspects, especially for the price.

Beautiful property in a fantastic location close to the beach. Would highly recommend.

Wunderschöne Unterkunft in nächster Nähe zum Strand.

Das Preisleistungsverhältnis ist extrem verschoben. Man sollte nicht vergleichen, aber für das Geld hier kann man in jeder europäischen Großstadt locker in eines der besten Hotels der Stadt.

The property is adorable. Really lovely space. The rooms was clean and as lovely as in the photos!

The bed was very soft and sunk in the middle. We had intentionally reserved a room with an outdoor bathtub and the water was lukewarm at best.

We stayed at Dreamcatcher, a stunning boutique hotel that exceeded expectations in every way. The property is surrounded by lush, thoughtfully designed landscaping that immediately sets a relaxing, almost magical tone. The staff were genuinely exceptional—warm, attentive, and consistently kind without ever feeling overbearing. The location was ideal, close to everything yet still peaceful and tucked away. The rooms were truly next level, featuring outdoor showers, soaking tubs, and private outdoor spaces that made the whole experience feel luxurious and intimate. The common areas were equally impressive, with multiple outdoor spaces that were inviting, comfortable, and perfect for unwinding or socializing. They also offered food and curated products on-site, which added to the overall convenience and experience. Considering everything the property offers, the pricing felt more than fair—it genuinely enhanced the entire vacation. Highly recommended. Carl Christie

The place was beautiful and very unique - I loved the colors and the feel of our room. The staff members were so friendly and accommodating.

I would have loved a heated pool. The pool being cold wasn’t a selling point for me.

A wonderful beach house type property in a quiet residential neighborhood. Just a fabulous vibe for a relaxing break. we appreciated the quiet hours which helped make it truly peaceful.

I’m not a memory foam mattress fan so I had a little trouble getting comfortable at night. The vegan hotel breakfast was delicious but service was slow with just one chef on to serve numerous tables.

The hotel feels like a serene retreat although you are so close to everything. Loved walking to the beach in the mornings. Staff was incredibly nice and helpful. Loved the refillable water bottle the hotel provided -it was a life saver after spending the day walking the city. Will definitely stay again!

N/A

This was probably wonderful once, a quirkily designed charmer with a lot of personality, but it was a disappointment for an overnight stay. Our room right off the outdoor lobby was tiny, shabby and tired, and there was no hot water in the outdoor shower that looked inviting, but wasn’t. The bed was too soft. The pillows? Lumpy or hard, your choice. The pool is a glorified tub. Then, there’s the vegan thing. I’m a carnivore myself but was prepared to compromise until the charming kitchen staff explained, that they’d compromised first, and served butter but not milk because, well, both come from cows? To their credit, they comped my toast and my wife’s raspberries, but we left for nearby SJU sure we’d never be back. A rethink and a major refresh are called for!

This hotel is perfect for a particular kind of traveler, but much less so for others. Be aware before you book. PROS: Just about anyone will appreciate the gourmet vegan dinners served on Saturday nights (whatever you do, if you’re staying here, make certain to include a Saturday evening). The food is extraordinary and obviously prepared and served with skill, creativity, and love. The peaceful courtyard and long (8 am to 1 pm) service of lunch/brunch are real luxuries. You can schedule a massage, if available, and it’s excellent. The beach is an easy 2 1/2-block walk from the front gate. (Why does the website say only one block? Unfortunately, that’s not the only hyperbole you’ll find there.) CONS: Beyond those amenities, however, other conditions are a bit primitive. The “pool” is a large cistern, which no one used in the four days we were there, for fairly obvious reasons. The nearest decent food, once the breakfast/brunch is over, is at least a 10-minute walk away, on a rundown commercial strip. (On the other hand, one restaurant on that strip, The Sunset Club, is one of San Juan’s very finest, not to be missed wherever you stay). The rooms are quirky-eccentric — our toilet was in an enclosed outdoor space (other reviewers have commented on the mosquitoes; they’re not kidding), on an unfinished concrete floor that it shared with a shower and a hammock. The tiny, cracked sink was mercifully indoors, but storage space for clothes and toiletries was very limited. Hot water was iffy; two mornings in a row, the shower was ice cold. There was evidently no hot water anywhere in the hotel for more than a day, a situation the staff dismissed with a shrug, blaming it on the city. Mind you, we were in a premium “romantic” room, at $500 a night! Overall, the space had the incense-scented, faded-glory feel of a roadside stop for pilgrims on the way to Ganeshpuri. If you find fancy hotels pretentious or intimidating, and prefer vibe over comfort, the Dreamcatcher may be just right for you. But if you’re thinking that $500 a night might get you something more along the lines of an on-site restaurant and bar with lounge chairs, an infinity pool, plentiful hot water, and scenery, this won’t suit you. Just be aware before you commit.

Dreamcatcher is dreamy! We got a great room in the back of the property so enjoyed quiet, privacy, and lots of lovely outdoor space. The shared garden / communal area was a lovely place to read, play cards, enjoy shade, and the landscaping makes it feel like a hidden oasis. It's off the beaten path, in Ocean Park, and we loved the local feel and not overly crowded beach. And a quick walk to a lot of great restaurants. The hotel provides complimentary beach chairs and towels too which is a great plus! The design is the best part. Eclectic, authentic, and full of Puerto Rico charm!! We'll be back for sure!

What a beautiful stay. This boutique hotel really provided the tranquility we were looking for. From your entrance to the property you are enveloped in nature and color. The staff were wonderful, breakfast was spot on and only 2 blocks from a very relaxing area on the beach. We had a standard room which itself seems small until you appreciate you have an equal sized outdoor environment that is also part of your private room. Sitting in the hammock chair and reading outside in the morning with a cup of coffee was a great way to start the day. There were many good local restaurants and shop within a few blocks and Uber or Lyft were always quick if we wanted to visit a bit further away.

Dreamcatcher was a calming refuge set against the urban backdrop of San Juan. It was a short walk from the beach and the hotel had many amenities for beach lovers (outdoor showers, beach chairs, ample space to hang wet swimsuits and towels.) the hotel is plant based and offers breakfast/ brunch daily with unique creations. Amanda made our breakfast on our last day and it was delicious (and she was a delight!)

L’endroit est un vrai petit coin de paradis. Bien situé près de la plage. Le lit est très confortable. Tout est parfait.

Rien

Design meraviglioso, un’oasi di pace. Camere belle, bagno all’aperto molto carino. Colazioni ottime e molto vicino alla spiaggia. Ho adorato il sito web e tutti i consigli. Staff molto gentile.

Stanza un pochino buia

Todo fue genial, en realidad, mejor de lo que esperamos. La calidad de la comida (pese a ser vegetariana/vegana), era muy buena (Hugo, cocina muy bien). Amabilidad y atención sobre los detalles (especialmente Mia). Muy cerca de la playa, y a otros servicios (bus, super, etc..). Nos ofrecieron ducha y toallas limpias (una vez realizado el check out, y pasar todo el dia en la beach antes de nuestro vuelo.

El alto coste de sillas y sombrillas por dia (100 dólares). Y no tener opciones amplias de fruta (en desayuno o fuera de horas del brunch)..... por poner un "pero".

L’atmosfera, molto accogliente, molto consapevole.

Le camere non sono insonorizzate, e quindi ci sente tutto ciò che dicono e fanno gli altri ospiti

Rooms are so well appointed and styled. Staff goes above and beyond to assist you. Very relaxing, quiet, serene place to return after busy bustling day and evening. Proximity to the beach is an added benefit. Parking easy to find. Location was great for exploring San Juan. The area felt very safe.

The ambience. Very relaxing. The beach was right behind the property and the property accommodated with beach towels and beach chairs.

All the details in this hotel make you feel like you’re in the middle of an oasis, rather than a bustling city. The staff is absolutely precious, everyone super nice and welcoming. Will definitely stay here again next time we’re in San Juan.

unique property with a zen vibe and decor. we didn’t take the opportunity to try food but coffee was excellent. our room had outdoor patio and shower that we really enjoyed. close to beach and to some good restaurants.

Everything

The frogs that make noises all night

My wife and I loved our stay at Dreamcatcher. It has such a peaceful, soothing vibe — exactly what we needed to recharge after a difficult year. Kudos to whoever designed the hotel. Not fancy, not overdone, but beautifully chill and restful. The bed was extremely comfortable, we really enjoyed being able to hang out in our own, private outdoor space, the staff were all lovely… it was deeply restorative to spend time there.

The location and the hotel itself is beautiful and feels like a retreat. The staff are incredibly thoughtful

Nothing!

Very relaxing environment, cool patio, boutique hotel experience. They let you use a common restroom with a shower, the beach towels and the tiny pool after the checkout. It is inside the gated community so safe area and very close to the beach

So many mosquitoes!!! Choose wisely your room, we liked ours a lot (the bathroom was inside) but I would not choose one with only the outdoor shower: mosquito bites plus not that much privacy The bathroom door of our room was dented

Is peaceful and beautiful, the people is so welcoming

La propiedad es hermosa. Esta ambientada con un gusto excelso, el personal es amable y la experiencia es unica

I had the absolute pleasure of visiting Dreamers Welcome in Puerto Rico, and I can confidently say it’s one of the most magical boutique hotels I’ve ever experienced. The space is designed with intention, creativity, and a deep sense of peace. From the lush greenery and calming interiors to the thoughtful amenities and artistic touches, every detail invites you to slow down and reconnect. What made our stay even more special was getting help from and getting to know Miah...an incredible human with a heart full of warmth, kindness, and authenticity. You can feel his energy in the way he treats you with genuine care and soulful hospitality. Whether you’re a solo traveler, a couple seeking a romantic escape, or someone just looking to recharge, Dreamers Welcome is worth checking out! Highly recommend. 🌿💫

The dreamcatcher is an Oasis in the quaint ocean park neighborhood of San Juan. The pictures absolutely match reality: the hotel is beautifully integrated with natured, boasting lush common spaces and stylish rooms. We stayed in the Sanctuary style room with an outdoor shower and bathroom area, and an air conditioned bedroom area. Although the bathroom areas for each room are “open concept,” it felt private and we couldn’t hear anyone else during our stay. The hotel is in a great area with nice local eats, just a $5-$10 uber from old San Juan, and steps away from a really nice and free beach. The staff, known as “the dream team” were all excellent and caring, willing to give recommendations and asking if we needed anything. This hotel was the perfect getaway for a romantic week, and we found it to be very valuable for the money. I miss the vibes already!

Boho style boutique hotel.. we’ll be staying here again when back in the area

The space is secluded, safe, and the staff was friendly and helpful.

Lovely staff

The atmosphere

Nothing

Honestly didn’t like much about the property, was truly let down by the pool and the size of the pool. Definitely not a place to stay if you are planning on lounging by the pool.

Location, Staff friendliness, breakfast

small room, leaking toilet when it rains, drainage problems in the shower and sink,

The environment was beautiful

The atmosphere & staff was very welcoming and relaxing, the vegetarian breakfast choices were phenomenal. I loved the complimentary tea/coffee throughout the day. The outdoor shower/ tub area with seating was cute yet private. The couples massage was worth the flight. Thank you to the kitchen staff for making grilled cheese sandwiches for my husband. With the beach only two blocks away this stay was a simply heaven on earth for anyone looking to disconnect from the distractions in life and simply rest.and relax.

The pool could be cleaner with a larger net to prevent excessive leaves from falling into the pool. However the beach was only two blocks away a walk less than 10 minutes.

Clean room, friendly staff, and unique stay with a lot of greenery. Close to the beach is always a plus

Where do I begin!? Such a cute place in a nice, quiet neighborhood that's walking distance from a great beach. Plenty of street parking. We got two rooms, one for my sisters and one for my wife and me. Upon arrival, we waited for one of the rooms to be ready. Sara, at the front desk, the ultimate sweetheart, upgraded us to a BEAUTIFUL upstairs room with an outdoor shower and a small lounge area. This trip was to celebrate the birthdays of one of my sisters and my wife, so this exceptional detail made the trip even more special.

Dreamcatchers is a beautiful, unique, bohemian concept. It is exactly as advertised. It's described as a hotel, but there are a lot of "hostel" elements: shared spaces like kitchen, "honor system" for beverages, and communal bathrooms/showers. It does offer very unique rooms with their own bathrooms and patios. I'm not sure I would stay here again, but that is not because it wasn't beautiful. The pool is as advertised, a big kiddie pool full of leaves. The rooms inside (granted each room is different) were very clean, but nowhere to put your suitcase, no TV (which who cares when you're around this beautiful oasis, but...I wanted it), felt dirty w/o rugs & lighting was absymal. However, they offered beach towels and chairs, the beach is literally 2 blocks away, cool red light therapy mask, comfortable bed, plenty of plugs, and wifi was good. The biggest reasons why I wouldn't stay here again is the outdoor bathroom and shower. I love that they are outside, however, without the fan on, the mosquitos are unbearable. Never did I read you needed to keep the fan on anywhere. I turn off all electricity when not in use, so in the morning when I went to the bathroom, I got eaten alive - no less than 10 bug bites. The staff to their credit came checked it out & even sprayed. They were amazing. But, the shower is never hot, which in PR, you don't really need, but at night it would be nice to have. If this were a hostel, different expectations, but it is not. Beautiful but not 4 me.

A great little oasis in San Juan. Minutes from a beautiful beach. Easy access to everything. Will definitely stay here again.

The design is impeccable, the staff was friendly, smooth check in. Absolutely great

Nothing

Dreamcatcher is one of the most unique hotels I have ever seen, in the heart of the capital but feels as though you’re in a private jungle oasis. It’s only a short walk to a beautiful residential beach with beach chairs and towels available in the lobby. The menu changed daily and each dish tasted better than the last. The communal spaces and private terraces are perfect for a tranquil, relaxing stay in paradise. Staff is very friendly and helpful, with more in-house amenities and activities than I’ve ever seen a boutique hotel offer. Truly an exceptional location that I would highly recommend to anyone!

Beautiful hotel!

Loved this unique gem. I've never stayed in a hotel like this before. I was impressed.

Really good vibe, nice staff, good location close to the beach

The lock on the door is really just a small lock, not secure at all. This was the only thing that i did not like. You should be mindful of that, especially if you are a solo female traveler

The staff here was outstanding, especially Mili. The property is like a zen oasis. Low lighting, quiet, serene. Love that our room had an outdoor bathroom/shower. It was covered, so you're always good. I am inspired to build an outdoor bathroom in my future home! The beach is literally right behind the property, like barely 2 blocks away. I highly recommend this property!

Beautiful, quiet retreat. Neighborhood is very safe with restaurants within walking distance. Beach is a short 3 minute walk. Highly recommend the suites with the soaking tub.

Amazing

Gorgeous hotel and the staff was amazing

Chef Hugo gave us the most INCREDIBLE meals throughout our trip. The cinnamon pancakes changed my life, but sitting in the kitchen while he shared his passion for cooking and energy with my friend and I was my favorite part. Truly had some of the best bites from him- meals I still constantly think about!!!

Very nice room with soul, very comfortable. Nice common space.

Absolutely loved our peaceful stay. The staff and space was so great!

I will definitely come back. My wife just wanted better bed sheets. Also, the door locks need to be serviced. It could be difficult at times to lock and unlock and it’s annoying. Overall, very peaceful and we love that the beach is 2 min away. Highly recommend.

I loved it, I would definitely stay again. Wasn’t able to enjoy because I stayed 1 night but the little I did. Top tier, thank you guys for everything

Love the design and people are friendly.

N/A

The concierge was attentive and there were many items for loan to use at the lovely swimmable and walkable beach which was only one block away. The dinner suggestions were excellent and close by. The scent of incense was pleasant. The landscaping was exquisite throughout the property and our room’s spacious lanai in room 9 directly across from the concierge. The sleeping area with a very comfortable bed and en-suite bathroom were air-conditioned. The lanai is covered to keep rain out of all areas except for the outdoor open-air shower where you can see the blue sky or stars above you. The outdoor soaking tub was very big and complimentary bath bombs provided. The hammock was another relaxing touch. A red light mask was complimentary however did not work. No need to worry about privacy as the inn makes sure to provide an abundance of it. This establishment is very peaceful and welcoming. The innkeeper pipes in a peep frog/rainforest soundtrack in the evenings which although are peaceful sounds the volume was a bit loud. We had to turn up the fan on our A/C to drown the frogs out. Calming music selections played throughout the day. The a la carte vegan breakfast was adequate but with a very small menu and lacked flavor. Also, breakfast in bed would be an added benefit for the price point. We expected a juice selection being in a tropical region, however smoothies were available for purchase. Tea and coffee were complimentary and available 24/7. A minibar, sandwiches, salads, snacks, and coffee were available 24/7 on an honor system which made this a true upscale bed and breakfast. The only reasons why my review is not 5 stars was the lack of housekeeping coordination and our complimentary or comfort-related items such as a bottle of wine were not delivered so we received a room credit. We left to the beach, informed the concierge that we would like our room cleaned and came back to an untidy room. We politely asked for it to be cleaned again and occupied ourselves elsewhere while it was serviced which wasn’t ideal as we hoped to enjoy our room and lanai as much as possible. Security was excellent with a 24/7 mobile security officer and the neighborhood gated with a security guard checkpoint at night. Another suggestion is to have outdoor chair cushions available for the chaise loungers and wicker chairs/stools for maximum comfort. We had to use yoga mats and towels as makeshift cushioning which was subpar when paying 5-star prices. If these minor service delivery items are addressed the inn will be worthy of a 5-star luxury coastal San Juan lodging experience. We enjoyed a very relaxing stay and will likely return in the future.

Found this place by accident. I was looking for an Air B&b for inspiration & content & this place over delivered. The booking was easy, the staff were amazing & the coffee was always fresh. I’ll definitely be back & they offer other locations as well. Thank you Dream Catchers for sending me home with peaceful memories. Lala 📸

The staff are simply amazing.

Absolutely stunning!!! I can not even put into words how breath taking this hotel is! The staff is incredible and so friendly. We loved all the recommendations they gave us! It is steps away from the beach! I will be booking with them for my next trip to San Juan

That I couldn't stay longer !

This place was both romantic and unpretentious, really charming and walking distance to the beach

Stayed here twice - first time was amazing. Second was less so, and the 3rd time didn't end up happening. First stay: The room we stayed in was fantastic - outdoor lobby, bathrooms, etc are a really neat touch. Great incorporation of nature into the stay, and also it's homey and welcoming. The teas are great. I was super excited for the 2nd stay. Then everything went sideways.

I was very excited for the second stay (one night). Upon arrival, we checked in about 7pm into a different room. As soon as I opened the door for the bathroom, there was a strong smell of mold, and a lot of mold was obvious in the area. Photo posted. We weren't able to switch rooms until after 1am, which made things very inconvenient. I had asked the front desk on the way out the following morning, and they told me that they would be ok with a suite for stay #3 at the rate I paid for this stay...and that management would send me an email to confirm. There was no third stay because no management ever got back to me. I reached out to the hotel on no less than 5 different occasions, and every time front desk said I would be contacted by management, and made me think I would have the discount for my trouble. It wasnt until the evening before I'd have come back to the hotel for Stay #3 that front desk told me I'd only get a $40 discount. By that time of course, the prices for hotels had gone up by more than $40. I stayed at Tryst (right on the beach in Condado) and it was great. All I wanted to do was come back to the hotel for one more night and give them a 5* review. But I've never had such flaky responses from management in any industry or with any product. I felt like mgmt was hiding behind front desk (front desk was very courteous and professional by the way). Negative stars for management style, and for booking people in rooms with a lot of mold.

i loved everything. The property is very unique, inviting, and truly relaxing. I did not want to leave. The outdoor shower is amazing and the bed was the most comfortable. Highly recommend.
