Dreams Riviera Cancun Resort & Spa

Family trip

The resort itself was beautiful. The room were very nice and we had a nice view of the ocean. Our favorite part was the staff. They were very friendly and got to know us. They knew my boys names and invited them to the activities. There were many activities for the whole family. Everyone checks on you and are very accommodating. They had cooking classes for guacamole and ceviche that we really enjoyed. The French restaurant was the best food there.

We were very disappointed in the food. The first day we ate at the seafood restaurant and my son and I woke up very sick throwing up. The rest of the family was sick to their stomach for the rest of our week. We came to find out other families had gotten sick also after eating at the same restaurant. The bathrooms by the pool were very dirty with toilets overflowing. There was a lot of seaweed at the beach so we couldn’t really swim there. It would have been nice if there were evening entertainment for the kids like movies by the pool. The evening entertainment wasn’t very good. You would think the Mexican food would be the best part and authentic but it was not good at all. They had guacamole and queso and it was gross. Nothing good to snack on by the pool. The most frustrating part was that the restaurants are closed and open on different days and there is no way to know when unless you ask. So you can’t plan which restaurant to go which night. They should have flyers all around letting you know. One night they said there would be pizza and then my boys went and they had canceled it after telling us about it that afternoon. The employees weren’t consistent about the dress code. Some said pants required others said no. It stormed our last two days which of course is out of their control but they had no indoor places to hang out other than the lobby. Everyone was going stir crazy. They need rooms with tv’s and movies. Tables to play games. Overall we had a good time with our family but would not recommend this place or go back.

Worth the Money but not Luxury

Construction! Beach had a lot of seaweed in the water despite cleaned multiple time. Bed was hard and uncomfortable Housekeeping didn't replenish towels every day Hotel was a minimum 45 minutes away from excursions. With pickups from other hotels you're at a minimum of 1 hour to 1.5 hours before getting to destination The hotel pushes you to book tours through Amstar, who resells other companies' tours for a huge markup. Too many kids despite being in mid-October. Missing pool tiles
