Pros and cons of Dreams Aventuras
PROS
- The resort was remodeled and refurbished in September 2021, so the pools, restaurants, and rooms look impeccable, modern, and with a fresh style.
- The beach is in the form of an inlet, so it’s very calm with very few waves. Perfect for kids!
- Being inside a gated marina gives you the perfect chance to explore around with confidence, and to experience a nice intimate vibe of a small Caribbean town.
- If you need a break from the hustle and bustle, the resort offers a quiet adults-only pool with a swim-up bar and a restaurant.
CONS
- The resort is at least 1 hour from Cancun International Airport with regular traffic. Since some construction is going on in the driveways, it could take a little (or a while) longer to get there.
- Due to its size, the resort feels very intimate. Travelers looking for a very spread out, larger resort may feel the facilities a little crowded.
- The adults-only pool area is on the smaller side, so it usually feels crowded.
- The beach is small compared to other resorts.
Rooms and Sections
The 7-story hotel is built in the form of a U facing the ocean, so most of the rooms would have some view of the sea, the pools, the grounds, or the dolphin tanks next door. Most of the rooms come with one king bed or two double beds, accommodating a maximum of 3 adults and 1 kid in the ones with two beds.
Family rooms are comprised of two connecting rooms, one with a king-size bed and the other with two double beds. Booking a family room guarantees an occupancy of 5 guests, with a maximum of 3 adults.
The Preferred Club area offers an elevated level of luxury, with a personalized check-in and-out area, an exclusive lounge for breakfast, snacks, and a premium bar, upgraded mini-bar amenities, an exclusive pool area, and one complimentary access to the hydrotherapy areas of the spa per stay. The good life!
With the recent remodeling, they added a few Swim up Preferred Club Suites. They come in single suites and family suites. So if you want to have your private pool just for you and your family, and enjoy the amenities of the exclusive Preferred Area, these rooms are for you.
The Beach
The beach at Dreams Aventuras Resort is a small inlet with very clear water and tranquil waves. Despite its size, you will always find a lounger, an umbrella, or a palm tree to give you shade, or a spot to take in those Caribbean sun rays to golden your skin.
If what you are looking for is an expansive beach that goes as far as the eye can see, you may be a little disappointed. And yes, there are a few rocks, however, the beach is perfect for spending fun times with the kids, the elders, and the whole family. Bring your water shoes!
Food & Drinks
Restaurants offer a diversity of cuisines and styles to cater to your taste. Starting with the buffet serving breakfast, lunch, and nightly theme dinners, a laid-back pool grill for brick-oven pizzas and grill dishes, and the 24-hour Coco Cafe, where you can easily grab a quick snack, pastries, a specialty coffee, or a delicious homemade gelato.
For a more elegant dining experience, visit El Patio for authentic Mexican dishes, Portofino serving Italian specialties, Seaside for steaks, and Gohan, the a la carte sushi lounge.
Two pool bars, one swim-up bar in the Preferred Club area, and Desires night club open until 1 am will serve you refreshing drinks all day long.
Activities, Sports, and Kids Club
This resort offers a very complete activity plan that comes included with your stay. Ride a bicycle within the marina complex, play some water or beach volleyball, or participate in the daily contests, classes, and games the entertainment team has prepared for you.
Kids will have a wonderful time at the explorers club, where supervised games and activities are provided for children 3 – 12 years old. The teens club offers a more dynamic space with sports, video games, and activities for kids 13 – 17 years old. The best part is that both close at 9:30 pm, so it’s perfect for a special romantic dinner ”per due”.
If you are into aquatic adventures, you can purchase tickets to swim with dolphins or manatees at the aquarium next door. Also, you can take a fishing trip or a catamaran at the nearby marina, literally minutes away from your room. How convenient is that?!
Also, nightly shows with dancers, acrobats, singers, and live music takes place. There is something happening at the resort all the time, so you will never be bored.
Exchange Privileges
As part of the privileges of Unlimited-Luxury® guests have the opportunity to enjoy dinner and evening entertainment at nearby sister properties. Take advantage and discover Dreams Tulum, Sunscape Akumal, Dreams Riviera Cancun, and more! Make sure you book this experience with the concierge.
What makes this resort different from other all-inclusive resorts
There is certainly a very cozy vibe in here. The new decor and enhancements give the place a more modern beach personality you will absolutely love.
You will learn your way around the property super quickly and feel at home in no time. Everything is so close that you can walk from your room to virtually everywhere in the resort within minutes.
Being in a closed gated community adds a sense of privacy to the whole experience. Also, you can take a walk and visit local shops, and bars and get a feel of the marina life without going too far from the resort.
