Question: Is it normal that lots of Catalonia customers come to the Dreams beach? It was a group of 20 today and smaller groups or families during the day. Other than that I don’t have any complaints. The service is excellent. Thanks to all staff.

We got a wonderful room, with a nice view, high ceiling in the bedroom.. wonderful. Loved the marbley floor design of the hotel (including rooms) - felt very clean and convenient. Very nice helpful staff. Fun options of restaurants to dine in. Great breakfast buffet with a wonderful variety of options of what to eat! We would have preferred the water at the beach to have been deeper, (at most it was about waist-deep). It was enclosed with a rock-fence, and staff would remove abundant plants that would float in, so it was swimmable every day which is nice. Would recommend ! Read less

This is my second time to Dreams Aventuras Riviera Maya, and I cannot say enough good things about my experiences here! I always find food that I am willing to eat and enjoy, the beach is clean and beautiful, and there is always something to do. Not only that, but the staff is absolutely amazing! They are what makes the stay with their welcoming demeanors and kind attitudes. We couldn't ask for more. We found ourselves being always invited to play games and activities, and there were staff members that had our names memorized and made an effort to get to know us throughout the trip. I cannot say enough good things about my experience. Thanks to all the staff at Dreams Aventuras, including Javier! Read less

Amazing staff, service and completely safe location. My wife and I had the most beautiful wedding here, our wedding coordinator Danae was so attentive, dedicated and organized. All of the associates we encountered really made it happen for us. Shout out to security resort medic Erik who helped my wife with her second degree burn for multiple days(curling iron). The big employee highlights for me was Ronier our bellmen and Paulina we met at the Preferred Pool, both were truly world class hospitality professionals. We can’t say enough about this awesome property and their staff! Thank you for my great wedding week on property! Read less
