Jun 16, 2025Great experience at Dreams Riviera!
We really liked this resort and the layout. The beach wasn't usable this trip because the seaweed was so bad, but that has nothing to do with the resort. They tried to clean it up, but it was excessive this time and not manageable. The staff was all superb, and the food was pretty good at the buffet and really good at the specialty restaurants. The rooms are really pretty, but they didn't have drawers for your clothes to be able to unpack your suitcase. This made me feel a bit unorganized because I don't like living out of my suitcase and digging for everything.

Jun 15, 2025Nice resort and close to the airport
Nice resort but heavy on the family friendly part if you are like us and traveling as a couple. Good food and close to the airport. Comfy beds and helpful staff. VERY loud construction noise that begins at 9AM Monday - Saturday which was really disappointing if you like to sleep in.

Jun 15, 2025Welcoming but... with an outstretched hand.
The staff is exceptional and very friendly. The resort is older but well kept and welcoming. Beds and bedding were comfy, rooms are spacious. Food and drinks were just okay, not amazing and not terrible. The tip culture here is a major downside of this place and all of Mexico.

Jun 14, 2025Ocean View room is not Ocean View
We were sold on the Ocean view Room (room #2527) where in fact it was a view on the nearby hotel and it's parking. Beach is not clean (a lot of seaweed, can't swim there). Food is good (except Buffet at Dinner time). Infinitiy pool is good

Staff made the holiday
Home a week after spending 11 nights in the hotel. Many thanks to all the staff throughout the resort who couldn’t be more helpful. Especially Abraham, Estella & Arcenio in the Seaside grill who took care of us for breakfast & lunch. Spent everyday at the preferred beach where Santiago & Cruz made it a very enjoyable experience.
