Dreams Tulum Resort & Spa

This is a great all inclusive resort for families. If you are travelling with everyone over 18 then I would suggest an adult only resort. There were teens everywhere. I even seen a few sneaking drinks. The entertainment staff did a great job of getting everyone involved. The coco cafe was a great stop for a pretzel or brownies in the middle of the day. I read complaints that it was hard to get beach and pool chairs but I found that no matter what time I went I didn't have a problem finding some with umbrellas or in the shade of a tree. My only complaint other than the teens was my room was in building 12 (the adult only) section and was so far from the beach, pool, and restaurants. As you can see from the pictures there were iguanas everywhere but they left you alone and would move when you came their way. Mosquitos were a problem so pack insect repellent.

My husband and I recently traveled to Dreams Tulum. We brought our 4 children ages 13 thru 23. Overall we had an amazing time, the grounds were absolutely beautiful !! We arrived and were not thrilled with room so we upgraded to a swim out room, which was worth every penny. It was really nice being in your room and just being able to walk out your balcony into a pool, the kids loved it. All the restaurants were delicious, our favorite was El Patio. The only complaint I had was the water in our room particularly the shower was always cold we could never get it to a comfortable temp. The highlight of most of our days was swimming in the pool outside of our room and talking to Luis, he was THE BEST!!, he got us whatever we needed, surprised my kids with special fancy drinks in pineapples and pieces of cake.He was awesome and should be recognized. He was my favorite, my kids loved him too!!

Dreams Tulum is a beautiful property. Unlike some all inclusive resorts, there was absolutely no pressure in anyway to take a timeshare presentation tour. I did see some people apparently on these tours but none of our 6 member party were ever approached by anyone to participate in this. When you arrive at the resort you are each greeted with a flute of champagne. There are a number of wedding venues at the resort. We met a young couple that was doing a tour of area resorts and apparently chose Dreams Tulum for their wedding next summer. The staff at Dreams Tulum were absolutely wonderful. They all were very gracious and seemed quite happy, especially Daniel Coot and Cuauhtemoc our absolutely wonderful drink waiters at the beach. The lovely woman who is the supervisor at the Coco Cafe in the morning was so kind. We stayed at Dreams Tulum for 13 days and every morning I truly enjoyed my (two) macchiato lattes with a shot of hazelnut. We enjoyed daily swimming and various non-motorized water sports. Great food at all of the restaurants. One day we took a ten minute taxi to the Tulum ancient Mayan ruins. I would recommend going early in the day and wearing your bathing suit so that you can cool off at the beach. Bring towels and water too! There is absolutely no shade at the ruins. Another day we rented a car at the resort (for 24 hours only approximately 65$ US) and went to nearby beach Akumal to snorkel at the coral reef. You can snorkel from shore. No need to hire a boat. I am truly enjoying my full face snorkel mask that I purchased prior to my Maui trip in February. If you like to snorkel the full face mask (I got mine at Dick's sporting goods store but you can also order other brands on Amazon) is a worthwhile purchase. When you get to the public beach, enter near the dive shop and then go to the far right of the beach near the Secrets Resort. From there swim straight out and then follow the coral reef to the right. Lots of pretty fish. Afterwards we went to nearby Cenote Yal-ku. Very cool snorkeling there and also there is an inexpensive lunch spot with tasty Mexican appetizers and sandwiches. I had a fresh grouper fish club sandwich that was quite tasty. Other than those 2 days off the resort we spent the remaining 11 days at the Dreams Tulum resort enjoying the beach and food and beverages. The recreation staff is quite enthusiastic and good natured. My only criticism of the resort would be that at other resorts there are more serious water aerobic classes and there was only a yoga class available 2 mornings of our stay. That being said, i would return again to this resort.

There were 11 of us and we stayed in the Preferred Swim Out rooms. We loved the swim out rooms and spent a lot of time there. Luis was wonderful at bringing us drinks as we swam and played games in the pool. The restaurant food was excellent, but the service was a little slow so give yourself plenty of time at the non-buffets. The regular service was excellent. My biggest complaint was that we paid for preferred service, but don't feel we got that type of service. I do like the layout as there were no tall skyscraper type of hotel rooms blocking the sun. Go to the Sky Lounge at night. It is advertised as open all night with food, but there was never anyone there. We basically had it by ourselves.

An all inclusive resort with Spa on the Costa Maya. This provided the perfect spring board for a fantastic vacation. The resort caters for a very broad clientele: couples, families, singles - young and old. All the staff were friendly, smiling and accommodating. Facilities were all superb: swimming pools, gym, tennis court, jogging track, live entertainment, restaurants and Spa. The food and drink of excellent calibre, good variety with easy access. My wife relaxed on the beach and my son partied late into the night - can't fault it😎
