Drop this in your thought corral: you are lounging by aquamarine waves, but across the shimmering sea is Isla Mujeres, a place you long to explore, where magical snorkeling and scuba outings are rumored to be had. Your kids are happily away on a (supervised) treasure hunt; however, you're on the hunt, too - for the boat to Mujeres, and the nearest beach bar. You're on your much-deserved vacay and chillaxing is, after all, Job #1.

First time in cancun
This hotel is not really updated. The bathtub was old, the plumbing was shaky however the closeness to the beach was good. Food was ok....Woukd not stay again. There are other updated hotels in the area
1. AC doesn’t work well at all in the room. Reported twice and they say it’s fixed but never got cool. We were here in early November with cool temps; this would’ve been unbearable in the summer.
2. Rooms are definitely dated. Not enough plug in outlets.
3. Housekeeping is excellent.
4. Entire staff around the property is phenomenal. This alone would make me come back.
5. Food is very good for an all inclusive.
6. Beach chairs are uncomfortable.
7. Beach is big and we never had an issue getting shaded chairs.
All in all, very nice resort and we will come back if the same deal pops up again.
I did not appreciate that customers were allowed to smoke on the beach. I feel it was very inconsiderate for non- smokers such as myself and my boyfriend. I was also disappointed with the food and drink selections.
It was okay I thought it was bigger than it was it seemed more like a hotel than a resort but we made the best of it but it did have some nice tours ATVs an speed boats was great

What does All-inclusive means4 answers
5 years, 64 months ago
Tampa, Fl
All-inclusive includes: Breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks, all beverages, including premium-brand alcoholic beverages, 24-hour room-and-concierge service, non-motorized water sports nightly entertainment, supervised Explorer's Club for kids, and taxes, tips, and gratuities.
LizCC
Room, food, drinks, and some beach items are all paid for. Does not include transportation, insurance, or trips and the vouchers you receive are almost useless at the resort.
derich
Restaurants, room service, all drinks - no charge.
palmcha1
All meals, snacks, even 24hr room service, all drinks alcoholic and non alcoholic (except bottles if wine) ...literally as much as you want, including gratuities (although I tipped a little directly to the wait staff etc when I felt it was deserved) plus your hotel stay.

Does this resort sit on a private beach?5 answers
5 years, 64 months ago
jj
No the beach is a public beach.
LizCC
No, it's surrounded by a number of nice resorts.
palmcha1
It's private as in you have to walk through the hotel or another beach to get to it, but there is no security on the edges to keep people from entering. The beaches on either side were high end condos or resorts so you didn't have many people hanging out, just passing through. Local sales people did walk through but unless you called them over the didn't come to you and bother anyone.

Yes, very beautiful!

Yes, the beach is private, but it outside folks come along and try to sell you jewelry and other trinkets.

There are a few boulders but as far as the actual shoreline it's very fine sand as far as the swimming area is marked. It's a very nice beach for swimming.
AllTheNameareGone
Not really at all. Not sure why people say it is. Has a large rock here & there that are totally avoidable & quite pretty. Great beach- walk right in. Nothing to hurt your feet but a few tiny shells- little / no seaweed.

Dos Equis is the included beer on tap, and the only one you can get at any time. Bottled Sol is available in your room and usually at the sushi bar. While I was there I saw a rotation of Coors Light, Bud Light, and Heineken cans but you never knew which would be available if any. As far as I could tell you couldn't purchase any additional kinds.

really long pants for men?5 answers
This is a vacation and we like to dress very casual. Is the dress code strickly enforced?
4 years, 57 months ago
mtngirl
For the specialty restaurants, they will enforce the dress code, no beach wear is allowed and men are required to wear long pants.
KristenCC
Yes Men are not allowed in tank tops even for lunch and I saw them turn people away every day. Men are required to wear pants for every dinner options which annoyed my husband. Women are not allowed to wear flip-flops at dinner either.
AllTheNameareGone
Yes very strictly enforced at the sit down restaurants, not the buffet, even for my teen sons. Girls however can show up half naked & no one cares. Bizarre.
pmwashcross
When I went in September 2015, it was not enforced. A lot of the men entered the 'long pants' restaurants in shorts and sandals and were allowed it and not asked to leave. I have been to resorts where they have turned away people due to this rule though, but not here.
Supergirllll
It really wasn't terrible. I didn't see anyone get turned away. But the restaurants are so fancy, you'll see why they would want you to not show up in beach attire!

All the beverages are all inclusive just if you buy bottles they're not included but the majority of the time you are given coupons that can go towards the bottle purchase.

Just about any alcoholic mixed beverage is available. They could use more beer options. The fruit drinks are very good and they serve it in a good-sized glass, not the small tumblers.

All alchohol is included. The only item that my group had to pay for in regards to drinks was a specialty carved pineapple drink which I believe was like $5 to $10 US dollars. All beer, wine, and hard alcohol were included.

Did this Dreams Cancun have a Dolphin pool on property.5 answers
Is this the Dreams Hotel that had a Dolphin pool on the property a few years
ago. If it was, we vacationed there about three years ago. We loved
everything about the hotel and heard that it was going to close for

remember. We are planning another vacation with our grandkids
and have great memories of our stay there.

It is not the same resort. I stayed at the other Dreams several years ago. It has sold. I believe it is a Hyatt or something now and adults only. Dreams Sands doesn't even come close to comparing to the old Dreams Hotel.

No, there was an infinity pool with water that essentially spills over the edge. There was also a larger main pool. Both pools were on the smaller side and didn't really have a theme. If you're talking about ACTUAL dolphins, no, there are no dolphins at this resort

Dreams Sands Cancun Resort & Spa: Get Sunny and Sandy in Paradise
Drop this in your thought corral: you are lounging by aquamarine waves, but across the shimmering sea is Isla Mujeres, a place you long to explore, where magical snorkeling and scuba outings are rumored to be had. Your kids are happily away on a (supervised) treasure hunt; however, you're on the hunt, too - for the boat to Mujeres, and the nearest beach bar. You're on your much-deserved vacay and chillaxing is, after all, Job #1.
