Dreams Playa Mujeres

Playa Mujeres, Mexico

Star rating

The hotel

Experience the two sides of Cancun in one luxurious hotel — the beauty of the beach and the life and soul of Mexico’s ultimate party mecca. Along a private sweep of sands, tiered lagoons spill down the centre of Dreams Playa Mujeres, with three main pools, a children’s pool and six hot tubs, a waterpark, and a mini-splash park... all making this the definitive aqua paradise. Relaxation also comes in the form of the adventures of the kids’ and teens’ clubs, and the indulgence of 10 restaurants, with 24-hour dining on the table. But this is Cancun, so the party’s never far. The fun of downtown’s approximately an hour away and, before you head out, you’ve got 13 bars and lounges to sip at, and live entertainment from stage shows to beach parties.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay, but I have a few suggestions that I believe would make the experience much better for families with young children. One of the biggest challenges was food accessibility around the pools. Having to leave the pool with multiple kids, dry them off, get everyone dressed, and walk into a restaurant every time they’re hungry is very inconvenient for parents. It would be great to have more quick, casual food options located closer to the pools, especially with kid-friendly meals that children will actually eat. During our stay, the only quick-service option our kids consistently enjoyed was Tides. While we appreciated having it, it was still a bit of a walk from some of the pools, and we often had to leave the pool area and wait for our food. I also noticed that poolside food service was only available if you were able to get one of the complimentary cabanas. The cabanas were free on a first-come, first-served basis, but they were limited and often unavailable. Offering poolside food ordering for all guests, or adding additional grab-and-go food stations near the pools, would make a huge difference and greatly improve the experience for families with young children. Another disappointment was the Explorer’s Club. It’s a great concept, but the scheduling didn’t make much sense for families. When we visited, we were told it was reserved for teenagers, so our children weren’t allowed to stay for more than 10 minutes. There were only two teenagers using the space, yet families with younger children couldn’t enjoy it. Our children were excited to play the pinball machines and other games, but they weren’t allowed to because they weren’t teenagers. As a family with children all under the age of 10, we found ourselves wondering what there was to do after pool hours ended. During the hottest part of the afternoon, there were very few indoor activities available for younger kids. If this is truly a family resort, it would make much more sense to allow children of all ages to use the Explorer’s Club throughout the day, or at least offer more family hours instead of reserving it exclusively for teenagers. That change alone would give families a fun place to spend time together after swimming and during the hottest hours of the day. These improvements would make an already beautiful resort even more enjoyable and convenient for families with young children. Read less

Beautiful property, but make sure you do your research before going, There were many different activities that we learned about after the fact. The hotel staff was great. It is also tied to Secrets Resort, if you have kids stay at Dreams, if you don't stay at Secrets. The pools are much quieter over there.

Also, some of the pools need a nice update, but also, they were great! Read less

Overall, I had a wonderful time at the resort. My only issue was my room. I had to have maintenance come to fix my toilet times and they were painting the room above and it smelled like paint thinner. However, the food was amazing. The service was awesome. I would especially like to recognize the superior service of both Juan who brought my luggage to and from the room and every time he saw us made us feel special helped us with any questions or concerns. I would also like to recognize Luiz at the swim bar. He made a special connection with all of the kids and always made the best drinks. All the staff was extremely friendly and went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and welcomed the shows were good. I wish there was adifferent one on our last day. All in all, I would recommend this hotel and I would definitely come stay here again. Read less
