Really enjoyed our stay at Dreams Aventuras. Beautiful accommodation, incredible food and enjoyed a fantastic private session at dinner from mentalist Armando Coda. It was mind blowing!

We had a good visit with our family! The preferred area and experience was lovely and we felt taken care of! Paulina was lovely for our check in and out! Breakfast in the preferred Oceana was delicious - Teresita and Ella were so attentive and always remembered us and made the experience so lovely. The beach is great, there's a rock wall that keeps sea weed out and you can walk into the water for a while with shallow clean water. the sand and beach is clean and well maintained. Jorge at the preferred bar at the beach was attentive and so personable! The cabanas are also a great way to spend the day and we enjoyed the natural pool with fish and steps into the water! Karen was also very attentive and gave great service. The beach cafe had good options for us to enjoy a healthy lunch and snacks. We did one lunch at the buffet and there were decent options! The lobby & most restaurants were open air so in the evening it can get quite cool with the breeze! The live music in the lobby was fun, just not a lot of seating! The dinner spots were delicious and the staff were so attentive and personable! Service was good especially considering there were a lot of tables always full. Willian, the sommelier was incredible. Always going above and beyond for us & making sure we were taken care of no matter where we were on the resort. He made the week extra special and we were so thank fun for his level of attention. The room was clean and had a couple snacks. Water / drinks / snacks were always refilled and it felt very clean. if the towels weren't replaced, they were quick to bring more when we called. The room could use a little attention on wear and tear, but mostly was very nice. we were on the top (7th) floor and the view was exceptional! Love having the bathrobes and slippers too. we burned the incense they left everyday too! its a small resort, doesn't feel too over run with kids, but definitely a safe place to let kids do their own thing! we enjoyed the desires club a couple times for dancing and karaoke, and the lobby area for playing cards and dancing / listening to live music. Overall, very pleased and had a lovely vacation! Also, loved the playa Aventuras area- we rented golf carts and roamed the area one day. we also walked the marina, checked out the local market, watched the dolphins play in their pool, golfed, checked out some local shops and walked all over! its super safe, everyone we came across was pleasant and helpful, and the view is gorgeous.

Our second day we had a cockroach at our door, when we told them about it they said it wasn’t a big deal and would have the cleaners come to the room right away….

Our second day we had a cockroach at our door, when we told them about it they said it wasn’t a big deal and would have the cleaners come to the room right away…. They are very upselly, constantly trying to sell you bottles of wine, or candlelight dinners on the beach. They ran out of Tito’s on my third day and didn’t get any back in stock for two days. The food is fine, nothing special but edible. There is no adult only area, kids are everywhere. The resort is very small and does not offer a lot to do entertainment wise. The beach wall leaves a lot to be desired. The best part is the dolphins are only a 5 minute walk down the road Read less

Overall good resort. Wished restaurants would be open earlier to accommodate young children. Tasty food but should not have 2 restaurants closed on the same night. Needs more fresh fruit readily available.

The Dreams Resort in Mayan Riveria was a perfect getaway for the entire family. Lots of entertainment and places to relax. Clean rooms and modern. The staff really make this place amazing. Staff like Barbara in housekeeping, Paulina at the front desk, Teresita and Ella at Oceana, Jorge at the bar and the mentalist Armando Coda. I highly recommend.
