All About the Extras
Also on property are a tennis court, fitness center, and Dreams Spa by Pevonia, featuring 13 treatment rooms that offer massages, facials, and the signature black mud wrap.
The turndown service at night comes with chocolate and a schedule of the next day's events, so you can plan your day accordingly.
The concierge at Dreams Cancun can also set-up guided day trips of Isla Mujeres, a great snorkeling spot. The Mayan ruins of Tulum are a good two-hour drive from Cancun. Realize that it's a long daytrip for young children.
The Art of Smart Timing
Dreams Cancun has one of the highest occupancy rates of any hotel in the Yucatan. Even when families head to other properties in Playa del Carmen or Tulum, they like to spend the first or last night at this resort. That said, you can still get good deals if you avoid the high season surge of Christmas though March. December and the spring months are a good time to venture to Cancun to enjoy the warm weather with slightly less travelers.
For Mom and Dad
Stick Junior in the Explorer's Club and grab one of those treatment rooms at the Spa for a well-deserved massage. Or reserve one of those candlelit tables by the beach at the Seafood Grill, where children are not allowed, and have a romantic dinner.
Getting There and Around
Flights are offered directly into Cancun. Transportation to and from the hotel to the airport, a 30-minute drive, is easily arranged when you reserve your room.
