Your day could look like this: you, kickin' back in a luxurious oasis set along a white sand beach that's kissed by crystal clear waters. Your kids, climbing on a pyramid-shaped climbing wall in the warm Mexican sun. You look up at the palms that shade you, then glance at your watch. Yes, it's that time. Time to refresh your drink. And continue doing that delicious nothing that you came here for.

Wouldn’t stay here again
Although the resort is beautiful and the staff were super friendly! The beach was horrible! We booked a ocean view room and did not get an ocean view room nor were we moved to what we paid for. There was no entertainment at all the resort gets very quiet after 8pm. I was very disappointed in the food options there was only one restaurant that was very good a French and Mediterranean restaurant called portifino. Other than that the food was not good, not many breakfast options the Buffett style food wasn’t good at all. Myself, 2 kids and husband visited and we would not go again I don’t recommend this resort to anyone with children besides the kids club there is nothing geared toward children. We will certainly not be visiting this resort again.
Dreams was good but needs improvement.
ELEVATOR DID NOT WORK FOR THE ENTIRE 6 DAYS WE WERE THERE !
THE BEACH WAS FILLED WITH SEAWEED AND I SAW NO ONE IN THE BEACH THE ENTIRE TIME THERE.
The value was fair but there were some important features missing like the pool water is hot which is weird because the temperature is already hot and normally a pool water is cold.
The pool bar closes at 6pm although pool closes at 8pm.
Drinks at the bar were good but mostly used artificial ingredients and cause many of my group heartburn and discomfort.
Dreams advertised no reservation which is false because they require reservation for hibachi which was ok and only served small amounts of steak chicken and shrimp rice and vegetables and the sushi was horrible and soy sauce was literally watered down.
Italian restaurant was good and but wait time is long.
WORLD CAFE was good but has a lot more misses than hits in foods and lack seafood.
The Mexican restaurant was good but was ruined by drunk guest who threw up all over the table next us and it ruined the meal. The mani-mahi was not fresh and was tasteless.
The only restaurant at the resort with excellent service and food was the seafood restaurant by the pool. The service and food were excellent and consistent 6 days in a row.
Additionally, i did not like being greeted over 30 min in the arrival by Jessica suggesting that we go to different hotel and to be able to use dreams amenities like pool or beach cabana for $50 a day.
Lastly our room was almost perfect except the jacuzzi was loud and messy and couldn't be used because of the hot water slashed everywhere.
Additionally DONT PURCHASE EXCURSIONS IN THE HOTEL AS THEY JACKUP PRICES OVER $70 MINIUM. ADDITIONALLY WAS TOLD NOT TO PAY MORE $25 FOR CAB FROM DREAMS TO DOWNTOWN CANCUN ALTHOUGH DREAMS TRIED TO CHARGE $70 AND UP.

Great Vacation
Using Cheap Caribbean to make my reservations was the best decision! They were kind and courteous and very helpful. The resort we stayed at was nothing but FABULOUS. The facilities were clean. The staff were super friendly and the food was delicious! I would definitely go back to Dreams Riviera Spa and Resort.
Place was nice and most staff was super friendly. Went with a big group and most drank well more then we normally would and no one ever got drunk. So leads me to believe the drinks were not full force. Which is fine I guess,

Serene & beautiful accommodations best recommendations2 answers
Room w view, close to infinity pool, beach, restaurants.....cannot walk very long distances. Just want to be surrounded by water, palm trees & beach plus quiet. Power rest. What is a plunge room? Looking for privacy especially in spa areas. Accommodations, pools, scenary & kind and respectful service are premo concern. We like our privacy. One of our best vacations? Private villa with private pool @ Pavilions & Pools St. Thomas. We are too far away from St. T and are looking for a direct flight to Mexico w better pricetag. Recommendations?.

This particular resort does offer rooms with views. The price for each view does vary as it depends on the resort's availability and the dates of travel. A plunge room includes a small pool located outside of the room and usually on the balcony or patio. Airlines do offer nonstop flights to Cancun from a select number of US cities.

Try the NH Royal...quieter as no children under 18 and also all inclusive makes for a better, cheaper trip....

Yes, it is a small bar with top shelf booze and a very friendly bartender that will make anything. I loved going in the morning to get coffee and lates.

There is a private lounge area for those who upgrade to the Preferred Club room category.
MariaCC
Because if you "buy into" the resort, you get "preferential" treatment. This is the worst resort I have personally ever stayed in.
kcriess
It has an indoor private area with a bar between the main lobby building and the pools. I did not notice an outdoor private area designated near the pool/beach.

Yes... The little lounge is also where they do the private, preferred club check ins. It's a nice, quaint, little room...with an outdoor patio area that over looks the main walkway. HOWEVER...no private pool for preferred guests! This is a major disappointment since my husband had to wake up by 6 am every day to reserve chairs or Bali bed...lame!

kcriess
We were not offered this upgrade at Dreams, or the Secrets Resorts both times we visited.
Billianne
What happens is the hotel and all the tour companies they work with are allocated a certain number of these rooms. Although they may be sold out, for example, on Cheap Caribbean, Apple Vacations may still have availability or the hotel might. I ended up booking with Cheap Caribbean for that very reason - they still had PC rooms available.

Is this hotel good to have a wedding at?5 answers
We need a moderately priced all inclusive that isn't adults only (we have a 17 year old coming) to hold our wedding at on April vacation. And a beautiful swimmable beach! Is that asking too much!!?

Dreams Riviera Cancun is a great place to have a destination wedding. The resort has many amenities in order to make your wedding day special, including multiple wedding package options. Also, if you meet certain criteria, you will also receive free nights for a return stay to celebrate your anniversary. Regarding the beach, while tides and weather can affect the water, it is a large beautiful white sand beach.
KristinCC
We just returned from there over 10/29 - 11/3 and we saw several weddings done there that were gorgeous!! We had a BEAUTIFUL beach wedding in Florida, but the way they were setting up these intimate weddings on the beach were just beautiful. I was definitely impressed. However, on Friday they had like 6 weddings going on at once. As long as you were one of them on the beach I wouldn't think it would matter too much. I would just be concerned about over hearing each other's music. Just being married 3 weeks myself, I wouldn't want to be around a bunch of brides on my wedding day. So - maybe get married during the week??
NBonIRB
Weddings are the best thing going at this resort. A staff of wedding planners can assist you with all your needs. And the beach is excellent for walking, jogging and swimming.
delt389
Absolutely!! there was about 4 different weddings there when I vacationed last week. No wedding was the same. The largest party was about 75 guests and the wedding was at night, reception was in the pool area which was closed.

Is there anywhere near by to go Jet Skiing and dancing?3 answers

tmarie
This resort is located in the town of Puerto Morelos, which is smaller and quieter compared to other resort towns near this location, but motorized water sports are available near the resort.
BethCC
You can book jet skiing through the aqua sports company located by the pool here. After booking, a boat picks you up and takes you about 3-4 miles south to a location where jet skiing is permitted, and afterwards they transport you back on the same boat. My wife and I did this, cost $120 USD for 1 hour (1 jet-ski), I think 30 minutes costs $70.
In terms of dancing, we never when but they do have a bar/club called Desires on premises. Pretty sure that's where most people went for dancing. Not sure what other options there are aside from that...
Nshah
you can book motorized sports through local vendors but the natural coral reef right offshore will not allow you to jetski at the resort.
You can also book with local vendors to charter a bus/taxi to take you dancing in near by Playa del Carmen or Cancun

If you have booked your reservation and excursions through CheapCaribbean.com transportation may already be included in your excursion package. Please review the vouchers that were sent to you to see if transportation is included in your excursion package.
BethCC
Someone told us about a beach called "Akhumal Bay" which has great snorkeling and you are able to swim with sea turtles. This is a free access beach. My husband and I always bring our own snorkels so we only needed transportation to get there. The hotel set us up with a private taxi service which cost $140. It sounds expensive but when you compare it to the price of the snorkel trip that they suggested at $120/person, it was a great deal. So, the taxi took us to the beach and would wait there for as long as we wanted. We stayed for about 3 hours. After the taxi would've taken us anywhere else we wanted as well with no additional cost (for example, there is a great shopping strip that you go by in Playa del Carmen which we could've stopped at, but we have been there before). I would highly recommend this beach as it was some of the best snorkeling we have ever done and seeing/swimming with the sea turtles was amazing. It was the highlight of our trip for sure and it was great not being on a time limit of a tour. If you go, you do not need to rent the lifejackets they try to sell there if you feel you are a good swimmer. Also, the sea turtles are in the middle area. For the best snorkeling and fish sighting, there is a reef to the right of the enclosed area (which you will understand if you go there and look at the ocean).

How is the weather?3 answers
Does it rain everyday there is the summer? I have been checking the weather and video cam on the website a lot and its been raining everyday all day, is that the usual?
5 years, 63 months ago
sweet tea
In the Caribbean, and especially in Riviera Maya, it is common for there to be rainfall everyday during the Summer months. Keep in mind that while it may rain frequently, it often does not linger and passes in the afternoon. With that being said, we are not able to predict the weather, as it is subject to change at any time.
If you have any further questions, please call one of our Beach Experts at 1.800.915.2322.
SamCC
I have been there 4 times, each for one week. The forecast always shows rain but we have had gorgeous, sunny weather each time. Occasionally, a shower will occur late afternoon but it doesn't last long and the sun comes out again.

You should be able to set up restaurant and spa reservations at time of check-in. If you have purchased your reservation through another company, you may have to check the stipulations of your vouchers as they may say to set up with the resort before hand. If you have any further questions, you may contact the resort directly at their international number: (01152 to dial out) 998-872-9200.
TimCC
We were able to make an appointment for a couples massage the morning we wanted it. It seems like they have a lot of staff in the spa area.

It is not difficult to book spa or romantic dinner appointments. You can book them there. The resort credits had many restrictions, making them hard to use. You could only use them on a romantic dinner, premium spa services... ($40 max per person per treatment), etc.
OCDforClean
We did not use the spa services, but did look into it. There were many opportunities to use the spa and book your appointment. Even in the rain during a few days they had appointments available. I would say waiting until you get there would be absolutely fine! They are overall very accommodating!

This is an amazing resort! Close to airport. You are able to use other properties although we have not participated in this option. We have stayed here 6+ times
KatyL
It was a very nice resort. Gorgeous, even. However the service is sub-par and the food is not that great either. The vegetables and fruit were fine but the meat was quite bad at all of the restaurants. Beware of the bathroom situation where you can literally see each other shower and use the bathroom... If someone is brushing their teeth while the other one is using the bathroom, you can literally stare at each other. Same with the shower, which you can also clearly see from the toilet. The beds were very stiff... I don't recommend the place for that reason.
However, the infinity pool and beach scene were amazing. The swim up bar was great too...

Room for Family of 5?5 answers
Looking to take my family 2 adults and 3 kids 7,5,1. My husband and I have stayed at secrets and love the plunge pool option however I am not seeing that as an option if you have 5 people. I see the family suite has a hot tub on the terrance but we really want the plunge pool, is it possible to get adjoining rooms or perhaps get the one that sleep 4 and bring a pack and play for the baby?
thank you
2 years, 29 months ago
TN
The reason the plunge pool is not available is due to the occupancy requirements, which are as follows. A pack and play would not work, these occupancy restrictions are strictly enforced for fire safety reasons. What you can do is book 2 rooms and request they be connecting or next to each other, however this cannot be guaranteed.
Maximum Occupancy: 3 adults & 1 child (0-12), or 2 adults & 2 children (0-12).
JeannieCC
Upgrade to the preferred club room with a plunge pool. We just came from Dreams Riviera and upgraded to this. There are adjoining rooms as our room had a locked door connected to our neighbors. Or inquire about a Governers Suite? I believe those have a plunge pool as well.
Teemtee1
So this resort has the availability to have joining rooms. You can do a double bed room and then have a rollaway brought into the room.
KatyL
We did not have a plunge pool but our room was able to connect to another room. In my opinion no one really ever used the plung pools because they are out in the open everyone can see you walking by and the 3 pools were so nice for the kids trust me they won’t want the plung pool. And they have a sprinkler in the kids club.

Just stayed there and we were in a room with a plunge pool and there was an adjoining room (also w/ plunge pool).

It is about 30-45 minute drive. They do offer a sip, savor and see program. If you have any further questions, you may contact the resort directly or call and speak to one of our Beachologists at 1-800-915-2322.

It’s about 20-25 min from airport and playa is about another 15-20 mins thy are on the same side so the water is not clear dark choppier and may have seaweed like ours, the opposite side in Cancun hotel zone is crystal clear water.
DblG
About a 40 minute walk down the beach and a 15 min bike ride...Dreams Riviera coordinates bike tours that are free to guests most days to Playa del Carmen as well where you bike there and spend 40 min shopping around the area and whatnot.
There are 5 sister resorts. We walked along the beach and went into about 3 of them. They are all there along the beach. When you walk out onto the beach go left. Right takes you to Playa del Carmen if you want to walk there and there is only one sister resort that way.

I know you cannot dink the water in Mexico but what about the ice from the resort? Is that safe or did it make anyone sick?

The ice is made using filtered water and is generally safe for consumption.
JeannieCC
My husband and I had ice in every drink we had and we didn't get sick once so I think it should be fine!

I have traveled to Mexico many times and the ice has never made my family sick.
