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.

dreams resorts
The resort was nice and the staff was very nice and always willing to help. Activities all day long if u chose to stay busy or lay on the beach like i chose 2. The different restaurants were nice went to all and enjoyed them all. Was close to the stores so made shopping nice and easy.
Ok now what I didn't like them trying to push a very expensive loyalty program on me and my family after I told them no a number of times.The whole 5 days them pushing the program so that's y I only gave 4 stars. As much I would love to go back but if there going to push the program I might have to find another vacation spot.
We were here for 5 nights. The location is very decent - the beach is very nice but very short (water comes up to the property in the evening leaving a small area of beach to enjoy). No bus stop nearby, you have to go couple resorts over in either direction for the public bus which is the way everyone goes anywhere here other than taxi. The resort has 8 restaurants but the food was not good. even in sitdown restaurants, it was pathetic and for that reason, I would neither recommend this place or ever return to it. The buffet had very limited selection and food would constantly run out. Especially fruit would disappear and not refilled for 30-40 minutes. The wait service was very slow and waiters would seldom check on you. Food was obviously recycled from day today. In sitdown Italian, the risotto was uncooked, In the grill, the steak entre was less than 2mm thick and full of fat. In the oriental restaurant, we ordered pad thai, and it turned out to be noodles cooked in sweet duck sauce. Overall some food items were not even edible. We ended up ordering cheese pizza just because we would return from dinner hungry. We are not food snobs by any means but this food was really inedible.
Now for good news, rooms were exceptionally clean and well-stocked. The room service was great. We tried wake-up calls three days and they never called us. The fourth day we didn't bother. The entertainment was mediocre but still enjoyable. The lobby staff was exceptional in service.
The Corridors in the entire hotel are not airconditioned and there is one tiny (4-adults max) elevator in each of the three wings. there is always a waiting line in elevators.
My final complaint - again about restaurants is that they had long lines and the guests were not managed properly. the lady letting you in would disappear for minutes and sometimes the guests were staying in line in the rain.
Overall 2 stars. We do not drink, and all-inclusive for us means FOOD, FOOD, FOOD. Very disappointed in the food quality, quantity, and especially the wait-service at the restaurants. Will NOT return.
Luxury is definitely a stretch -crowded & outdated
Very crowded. Sticking to RIU hotels in future. Beach was rocky and not “the best”. Sewer smells from pipe on beach near bathroom. We adhered to dress codes but others were allowed to go in not wearing proper attire. Nice enough staff. We purchased Preferred Club glad we did Otherwise would have been horrible and intolerable. Luxury. NOT. Cheap Caribbean was awesome!!!!
Resort was beautiful. Had the ocean corner view. Perfect room!!! The staff was very friendly. Definitely bring lots of singles to give tip. Food was excellent. Will definitely visit again

What does All-inclusive means4 answers
5 years, 66 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, 66 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.
AllTheNameareGone
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, 59 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.

Our trip inluded all alcohol all brands even top shelf
Nana2018
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

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
