# Our second stay at Dreams Aventuras: Still discovering reasons to return!
Returning to Dreams Aventuras Riviera Maya was something we had been looking forward to since our wonderful stay in July last year. Although we had to postpone our original travel plans due to my wife's ligament injury, we were delighted to finally return, this time experiencing the Preferred Club.
A beautiful resort with so much to offer
Dreams Aventuras has magnificent facilities and an excellent location in Puerto Aventuras. One of the things we love most is that there is so much to enjoy and discover. Even on our second visit, we found new experiences that made us appreciate the resort even more. We genuinely recommend taking the time to explore everything it has to offer!
The Preferred Club was definitely worth it! We loved the peaceful atmosphere of the exclusive pool, the softer background music, the jacuzzi, and the opportunity to experience the spa for the first time.
Our room had an exceptional location and a beautiful view, while the thoughtful little amenities added an extra touch of comfort to our stay.
Although we did not use the hotel's beach this time, we were pleased to notice that efforts appeared to have been made to manage the sargassum situation. The beach looked noticeably cleaner, which we consider a very positive improvement and something worth recognizing.
Exceptional people make exceptional memories
What truly makes Dreams Aventuras special, however, is its people.
It was heartwarming to discover that some staff members still remembered us from our previous visit!
A special thank you to Emilio, from Concierge, for his outstanding assistance, and to Ronie at the entrance, whom we were delighted to see again.
One particularly memorable moment was when our daughter became unwell. Javi, from the Preferred Club, kindly suggested having the chef prepare homemade chicken soup and deliver it to our room. She enjoyed it so much that she asked for it twice more that day! Thankfully, she soon recovered. Such a thoughtful gesture meant so much to us.
At World Café, Chef Helena was exceptional. When she noticed that my wife could not find anything she particularly enjoyed at the buffet, she kindly offered to prepare something especially for her. Her genuine care and attention on several occasions made a real difference.
We would also like to thank Andretti, who remembered our family, Ezequiel for his wonderful service, and Johnny at Portofino. Two lovely staff members at Oceana's breakfast service also deserve recognition, although unfortunately we did not learn their names.
Finally, a special mention to Tannia (if we remember her name correctly), who provided exceptional service at the Preferred Club pool.
A different season, a different experience
One thing worth mentioning for future guests is that visiting in October felt quite different from our previous stay in July.
We noticed less variety in the buffets and a different restaurant rotation system, so it was important to check which restaurants were open each day and which dining concept was operating in each location.
The evening entertainment, shows, and parties were also noticeably different. We did not experience the same variety of performances and lively celebrations that we had enjoyed in July.
Of course, we understand that October is a quieter season. The weather may also have influenced the programme, as there had been rain before our arrival and we experienced several rainy evenings during our stay.
These differences did not prevent us from enjoying our holiday, but they are worth keeping in mind when choosing when to visit.
As with any resort, there is always room for improvement. A more personalized check-in for returning guests, greater attention to small housekeeping details, and more variety at Gohan would make an already lovely experience even better.
Would we return for a third visit? Absolutely, without hesitation!
Dreams Aventuras once again gave us wonderful family memories.
We appreciate the excellent facilities, the beautiful location, the improvements we noticed, and the fact that even after two visits, the resort still has more to offer and new experiences to discover.
But above all, it is the genuine warmth, kindness, and hospitality of its people that make us want to return.
We sincerely hope the management recognizes the exceptional staff members mentioned above. They are the heart of this resort and the reason guests like us look forward to coming back.
Thank you, Dreams Aventuras. We hope to see you all again!
