Where is Dreams Riviera Cancun located?

Dreams Riviera Cancun is located in quaint Puerto Morelos Town. A location in Riviera Maya famous for its tranquil bohemian ambiance and colorful coral reefs. Placed a merely 25-minutes ride from Cancun International Airport, you’ll be sipping a Margarita on the beach almost right after you get off the plane!

Puerto Morelos may be a slow town for some, but having the second-largest coral barrier reef near its shores, makes it true heaven for snorkel and dive lovers! Plus shopping for local folk art and handcrafts makes it a nice trip for a morning or afternoon.

Our experience with Dreams Riviera Cancun

This hotel is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! From the moment you enter the lobby, you can clearly see this is a very special property with a unique personality. This resort is family-friendly, and it truly offers a lot of activities that would interest all ages but still, it has many nooks ideal for romance!

Plus, with the proximity to the airport, being in the middle of Cancun, Playa del Carmen, and all major parks and points of interest, we believe Dreams Riviera Cancun Weddings have it all!

Pros and cons of Dreams Riviera Cancun

PROS

  • So many great culinary options at this resort, you will want to extend your stay to try them all! Plus restaurants are incredibly decorated, more than many other resorts we’ve visited!
  • All guests seemed to be enjoying themselves regardless the age. This property has a very warm, familiar ambiance that invites you to relax and enjoy.
  • Rooms are superb! The layout and decoration create a very lighted, ample space. Delightful!
  • Here, all Dreams Riviera Cancun Weddings have many venues to choose from for their events. An intimate garden, an impressive oceanfront gazebo, or a magazine-looking grand staircase, you name it!

CONS

  • Due to the layout of the property, outdoor wedding events may not be very private.
  • So many incredible wedding locations mean more than one wedding a day. If you are worried about someone stealing your thunder, this may be an issue for you.
  • Due to the layout of the resort, most rooms are facing the pools or common areas. If you are looking for a super quiet, tranquil property, you may find it can get a little crowded and busy with kids around everywhere!

Rooms and Sections

The rooms have a peculiar octagonal shape to capture more light and a more ample view of the ocean or the tropical gardens. Decorated in a sober but warm style, you will truly rest here!

Two double beds suite from a luxury resort

If you are traveling with the family, in most rooms with two double-size beds you could fit up to 4 guests, and family suites can host up to 7! Talk about connecting with your family, huh?

The Preferred Club area offers an extra touch of luxury to your stay. Benefits include access to an exclusive lounge with appetizers and top-tier drinks, premium room location, special concierge services, a designated beach area, and more so you only worry about having a good time.

The Beach

Truth be told, Puerto Morelos area has never been famous for having a transparent, crystal-clear ocean. The proximity to the reefs can make the water look a little darker than the colors you think about when you picture a Caribbean beach in your mind.

Beach with guests playing volleyball

This doesn’t necessarily mean it’s not beautiful or ideal for a swim or an event. On the bright side, you can take your visor and see many fish swimming in the sea!

If you don’t want to leave your vacation without a photo in a see-through blue ocean for your social media feed, there are many locations nearby, so that can easily be taken care of!

Food & Drinks

The gourmet possibilities here are honestly great! There are exceptional restaurants with delicious food but what really stands out besides flavor, is the decoration!

Let’s just have a look at El Patio, offering authentic Mexican cuisine in an absolutely amazing ambiance. Put together a traditional hacienda style, folk art, servers dressed up as charros, and a hint of town market, stir the pot, and: Andale!

Mexican restaurant with folk art and leather chairs

Portofino is another star of the resort, offering Mediterranean-style flavors for dinner. Here, the whole gang can toast and share that pasta platter family-style, of course!

Other options for meals include World Cafe, the all-day dining international buffet. Himitsu for Pan-Asian cuisine and live cooking teppanyaki tables. Seaside Grill with an ocean view, and Coco Cafe for tea, coffee, desserts, pastries, and some other delicious snacks.

For a more refined dining experience guests can visit Bordeaux. An adults-only, a-la-carte, romantic French restaurant with a floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall wine cellar. How chic!

Elegant restaurant with a big wine cellar

Bars at the beach, the pool, and the lobby plus a swim-up bar, a sports club, and a music lounge will have you toasting all day long.

Activities, Sports and Kids Club

A Mayan-themed kids club will have the young ones entertained with video games, crafts, and a pyramid they can climb on. It is open until 8 pm, so you could go to your fancy dinner with your partner without worrying about the kids!

Sports enthusiasts will find everything to keep their routine on track in the fitness center, or by participating in beach volleyball matches, biking tours, yoga by the beach, water aerobics, catamarans, and snorkeling tours.

Guests swimming at the outdoor pool

All the family can gather together to enjoy spectacular live performances each night, outdoor movies, and a weekly beach party. You can do as little or as much as you want, is your vacation!

Exchange Privileges

If you are interested in visiting another AMR Collection resort, you can! As part of the Sip, Savor & See experience you can enjoy dinner, drinks, and live entertainment at nearby properties. Note that details must be arranged with the resort concierge.

Check out Dreams Sapphire, Dreams Jade, and Dreams Natura, some of the resorts you could visit through this interesting experience!

What makes this resort different from other all-inclusive resorts

Outdoor heated pools! Even with a sudden cold front, or visiting during the winter months, you will be able to enjoy your time in the water. The front desk and lobby are also quite remarkable with all that detailed wooden work. It’s pure art.

Fancy hotel lobby with wooden roof and reflecting pool

We also love the octagonal shape rooms, something we’d never seen before and we do know a thing or two about resorts. Another fantastic thing is the outdoor pool theater for evening shows and themed dinners. Just spectacular!
