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. Built in the style of a traditional Mexican haçienda, it offers 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.

My wife and I got married at this resort June of 2019. Overall our wedding experience was great and I want to thank everybody that made it a special day. This review is a WARNING! Upon arriving at the resort they will not handover the keys right away, they are going to attempt to sell you on a VACATION PACKAGE. They will ask you to meet up the following day. Please do not! They will tell you it will only take 2-4 hours of your time, it won't, they will waste a whole day trying to sell you a vacation package. They will offer you bonus money for the resort. You will barely be able to use it! Unfortunately, my parents were scammed into a 15k vacation package. We haven't been able to use it because they up charge every vacation. My parents have 3k worth of credits which they were told they could use the whole amount, you can't. Right now I am comparing the same cruise on carnival vs the Unlimited vacation club with lifestyle collection website and the cruise is up charged by almost $422 and they are graciously giving $390 credit of the 3k they have. This is one example of many! The vacation package is so worthless we can even use it compared to what you can get it elsewhere. Don't trust them when they say lowest price guaranteed, they are lying. They will lie, lie, and lie some more until you fold. They have zero proof of what they can actually offer you. The food is also horrible, it's all ameicanized cheap food. Sushi was descent. Italian restaurant was a joke. They only time food was amazing was on Wednesday when they brought in outside vendors for the Mexican fiesta. Even there Mexican restaurant was a joke, tasted cheap. I will never return to this resort or advise anyone else to book solely on how they run a scam business within the resort. Read less

If you don't mind people smoking next to your kids or anywhere else in the resort then this is great place to vacation, Clean, friendly, well maintained, great service and the beach walks are awesome.

A lovely resort and a relaxing stay in early March 2020. A lot of thought has gone into the design of the resort.....we particularly liked the gardens and the lighting scheme which made the walk home after dinner and a few drinks very pleasurable. The staff at this resort are excellent and we felt very well looked after. The themed restaurants were good and we liked the no reservation policy for tables. The bar staff were always pleasant and were very efficient. We only encountered a few negatives which included a very noisy group of guests in the quiet garden room area of the hotel for the last 3 nights of our stay.....getting woken up at 3am for an hour or so for 3 days in a row by these selfish people after they returned presumably from the disco rather spoiled the last 3 days of our holiday but the first 7 days were fine. Our room was also not cleaned on our first day but after this initial hiccup things improved. But overall an excellent stay and it was great swimming in the sea......well done to the folks who cleared the seaweed off the beach each day and kept the swimming pool areas so clean. Read less

We had a great time at Dreams Tulum, we visited just as the covid-19 pandemic was kicking off and the resort was a little quiet. Our stay however was still great! Our room was big, with a great bathroom and was kept clean by our housekeeping person Valerio. Everything worked and the view wad great, we did hear a little noise from our neighbours but they left on day 2 so it wasn't a problem for us. The food was fine, as vegetarians we found a couple of the restaurants didn't have much choice for us, but our favourite was the world cafe anyway which had plenty of choice. So again, it wasn't really a problem at all :-) The staff in the world cafe were exceptional, always remembering our names & faces, I wish I could remember 2 ladies names especially as they were great. We did the tequila tasting with Cesar which was great (we then did it again as a group with Tomas haha!), we ended up buying 2 bottles! Originally the bottle we wanted was out of stock but Daniel (a restaurant manager) kindly went out of his way to find one for us. Isobel from the spa was great fun and we saw her every day around the resort and she always made an effort to come and say hello & see if we needed anything. Ricki and Nick from the entertainment team were also super fun & made us feel like we were good friends. I hope these challenging times during the pandemic will be over soon and the tourists will return to this wonderful resort as soon as possible! The staff there deserve all the thanks :-) Read less

Hotel and amenities were not what we expected. The rooms were terrible and the amount of very large cockroaches and insects in the rooms were unacceptable. If the hotel was too short staffed and low on resources due to covid-19 pandemic, the doors should have been closed.
