I recently got married at the Dreams Tulum Resort and Spa. From the moment they picked us up from the time we were dropped back at the airport was amazing. I had 60 guests stay at the hotel and everyone loved the resort. The rooms were really spacious and the services was so great. They wood at the World Cafe was my favorite, great quality and also open. They had a great restaurant selection was great and my guests loved it. I rented the sunset deck for my welcome dinner the night before my wedding and it was absolutely stunning. The spa was great and many of my guests enjoyed our day at the spa. There was a specific play ground for the kids and they loved it. The staff was so friendly and I will go back in a heart beat. Thank you! Read less

We were booked in for 10 nights stay but checked out early after 7 nights. The seaweed whilst out of the resorts control and they tireless worked to clear it away was a let down. The fact the sea is unusable is not the end of the world as you have the pools which was my thought when booking. The problem is the smell is horrendous and as pools are practically on beach you can’t get away from it and it even extends to the main plaza where the outside bars are. We did have a room away from the smell with a swim up pool but it was very dirty with debris from trees, we did call and someone come to collect debris but as water level is too low the filters were not working so within minutes was filled again. Preferred club members supposedly have poolside bar services we waited two hours for drinks that were on their way but never come. We spent a few days outside the resort to get away from the smell but after the feeling of dread from another day sitting round the pool enduring the smell we left the resort. There are positives rooms are clean and comfortable and staff are all friendly and attentive. The preferred club beach is great (ignoring the smell) with waiter service and one free cabana which are some comfy to spend the day in. We was told on first day it’s a quiet zone no music to be played which we would not do anyway but the joke is they then have a pool party next to it with really loud music and one morning an Indian wedding on the beach with someone shouting down a microphone for 3 hours, really peaceful! There is also a preferred club bar which has good cocktails and air con, the concierge in here are very helpful. It is quite small though so no getting away from the very drunk guests who like to shout everything at the top of their voices. Our room key broke nearly everyday which was a bit annoying. Read less

This is not a four star resort!!

Jul 17, 2019 Marcus1 Montgomery, Alabama

I will be brief because most people don’t want to read a lengthy review. 1. You don’t get what you pay for at Dreams. It is very overpriced. 2. AC in the rooms is horrible. The AC system is old & out-dated. 3. Knats & bugs in the room. 4. Lots of noise at night regardless of the room location. 5. Vendors are allowed on the property & always… Read more

I will be brief because most people don’t want to read a lengthy review. 1. You don’t get what you pay for at Dreams. It is very overpriced. 2. AC in the rooms is horrible. The AC system is old & out-dated. 3. Knats & bugs in the room. 4. Lots of noise at night regardless of the room location. 5. Vendors are allowed on the property & always trying to sell something. I thought all-inclusive meant “leave me alone so i can rest my mind & my body.”. Dreams gives it a new definition. 6. Avoid eating in the World Cafe Buffet restaurant. The restaurant is hot & the food has no flavor. 7. Bartenders are nice but they don’t know how to mix drinks. Avoid the mixed drinks. 8. The big band of seaweed arriving from the east is horrible. It stinks & no one can enjoy the beach. The one positive is the staff, especially Gigi & her staff who are in charge of entertaining the audience at night. They do a great job!! Read less

Solid OK

Overall I'd rate the resort an OK, it depends on one's expectations and the price point you're able to book. We got a deal at less than half the rack rate, so this helped.

Overall I'd rate the resort an OK, it depends on one's expectations and the price point you're able to book. We got a deal at less than half the rack rate, so this helped. Was here for a wedding, so had lower expectations. Food was very hit or miss and definitely not gourmet, I'd compare it to a highway Holiday Inn. Drinks were good for an all-inclusive and did include some mid-shelf liquors. The grounds were nice, tastefully landscaped. Lobby was lovely, expect for the furniture which was tattered and stained. The room was fine, fairly quiet and decently clean, but did smell musty. We never had enough towels, given 1-2 a day. The quality of linens was very poor; stained, frayed edges of towels, bedding stained. Beach was more like an open dump than a usable shoreline. I understand the difficulty with seaweed and agricultural chemicals from Africa causing a bloom, but the resort had only one person cleaning it. The stench was horrific and was a three feet high mound along the shore in places. Pools were comparable to a municipal or YMCA public pool in the summer. Uncontrollable children were everywhere, screaming, running by the pool and being awful. Resort led these strange very loud dancing sessions for the kids for hours every afternoon, with very inappropriate music for 6 year-olds. I came here to relax and this was not possible by the beach or pools. There was no enforced Adults-Only area, the herds of kids were everywhere and even the in the nightclub after midnight, the staff did nothing even after requests to make them leave. I'd not return to this resort. Good if you have lots of kids and low expectations for food/service. In future I'd go to an adults-only resort. Read less

We stayed here for our first time to Mexico and went for the all inclusive option. The staff are friendly, plenty of activities on everyday and night at the resort, the food is pretty good in all of the restaurants, no mosquitoes and a great kids area. The grounds are exceptionally well kept, the staff do a great job. Rain or shine they are always out cleaning. Now the negatives - and they are pretty small but it’s worth saying why it’s not 5 star in my opinion. You won’t get in the sea due to the seaweed (it smells) which, granted, the resort can’t help and they do clean the beach everyday - obv they can’t clean the ocean though. The beach is useable at least. Parts of the hotel could be improved - ie bathroom fittings, low water pressure, kinda noisy buildings through the night you can hear neighbours doors opening etc. Tv was old, channels poor. Also, and I may have misread the website, but the kids area is only good for kids 3 and up, we have a 2 year old, so the cool slides they have on the website we couldn’t use and parents aren’t allowed to go into the kids area we were told. The check in process could be improved, we went for preferred guest but took us days to figure out exactly what that meant. We were shocked at the wildlife around the hotel, however they are harmless but it would have been nice to be explained these things at check in. They have a preferred lounge which is great, but it’s a separate key card to carry around - surely in today’s era your room key could also access that room as it’s a pain to carry two cards around all day. Finally the sun loungers around the pool are pretty basic, and could be better. Otherwise it was a really good stay, very friendly and helpful staff. We would def come back in the future. Read less
