Apple vacation to Dreams Adventures resort in March 2024. Not 5 stars but Nice size resort with hard working staff who do their best to serve. Take small bills to tip those folks it goes far. Room with king bed and pool view balcony was clean. Air conditioner worked fine. Never left property felt safe. Food options nice and something for everyone. No reservations for dinning needed. Activities pool side fun for kids and adults. Hot tub large and clean. Protective cove beach area clean and raked . Don’t upgrade to preferred area not worth the extra cost for other pool area that kids occupy anyway. No excursion purchased as we have done them. Skipped the $200 resort credit if you do not want to lose hours for timeshare or new property sales. Would stay again but fly into Tulum new airport to save on hour ride down from Cancun Read less

Resort was beautiful, my fiance and I had an amazing time. We will definitely be staying at another dreams resort. Our experience was top tier. The food was amazing and the rooms were gorgeous. The resort was kept very clean as well. 10/10 would recommend

Would highly recommend, especially the swim out rooms. The best part about the hotel was its staff. We stayed 5 days with one excursion to Xcaret and that was just the right of time to experience the resort without getting bored.

Pools were great but there’s not a great ocean beach- more of a protected cove with rocky sand. Food was hot or miss but there’s a big selection, and we had some really amazing things to eat, while some of it was just meh. Would stay again. Read less

I stayed at Dreams Aventuras with my wife and 2 year old son. We are a vegetarian family and we don't eat eggs either so I expected very little options in terms if food. However this resort exceeded my expectations. I would not say it was perfect but everyone went out of their ways to make things possible for vegetarian diet options. World Cafe and Gohan was outstanding and Most of my time we had our meals there. If you are vegetarian like me and going there, just let the staff know of your diet needs and they will make it possible. In general, I would say it was very organized resort and staff was very welcoming and friendly. There were little issues in rooms here and there but that can be ignored compare to how everything else was. We upgraded to preferred club and it was worth it in my opinion. As a part of preferred club, we received couple's hydrotherapy treatment at spa and that was perfect. Be sure to check that out as that should not be missed. We took that on last day and I just wished that I had done it sooner. Read less

Alejandra was great making coffees in the morning, always had a smile on her face! Good activities and the buffet was by far the best food. Dinner was a bit disappointing. Staff overall were friendly. Unfortunately golf was not included. Overall was a good trip and would like to visit again.
