The hotel

This beachfront property lies on 2 miles of secluded palm studded beach of soft white sand with a reef just offshore ideal for snorkelling and is surrounded by lush, mangrove forests. Considered an eco-friendly resort, with an impressive 44-acre garden landscape of over 5000 native plants from around the region, the hotel is built in the style of a traditional Mexican haçienda, offering an amazing variety of facilities and activities to keep active singles, couples and the whole family entertained. After a long day by the pool, relax and unwind at the world-class Dreams Spa by Pevonia® while the little ones are kept entertained at the Explorers Club for Kids. The nearby ancient ruins of Tulum, just a few minutes from the resort and Xel-Ha eco-adventure park makes a great day out for sightseeing and exploring. Unlimited-Luxury® ensures that all guests are treated like royalty and the Preferred Club adults only section adds the icing on the cake for a perfect, memorable holiday.

Resort coupons are not worth anything. If they get in a hurry and don't apply it you're out of luck even if it is sitting on top of the check. They tell you have to have them but not really because it's up to them when they want to apply it or not.

Our recent stay at Dreams Tulum in Mexico was absolutely exceptional! As a family of four, including two adults and two kids, our experience from check-in to check-out was nothing short of amazing. The warm hospitality and attentive service made us feel right at home throughout our entire stay. The resort was impeccably clean, and the food was absolutely delicious - every meal was a treat! We want to extend a special thank you to ALL the hardworking staff at Coco Caffe for their professionalism and quick service; their delicious coffee creations truly brightened our days. Additionally, we are grateful to the entire food team at all the resort's restaurants for their dedication and hard work. The kids had an absolute blast at the amazing kids water park and kids club. Family hours allowed us to enjoy the water slides together, or we could leave the kids in the hands of the amazing team while we relaxed. The theme nights and professional shows were also a hit with both kids and adults alike. We appreciated the resort's location away from the busy Tulum traffic, nestled right in the jungle - it truly felt like a paradise escape. We highly recommend adding Dreams Tulum to your family bucket list; it's an experience you won't want to miss! Read less

My first time in Mexico was a fantastic experience. Dreams Tulum is a great resort set in beautiful surroundings with lots of good bars and restaurants. There were always lots of entertaining activities organised by the entertainment team who ensured that everyone had a good time, Erick went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed ourselves.
