It's not until you exit the lobby to the back of Dreams Puerto Aventuras that you understand the allure. The soft white-sand beach slopes down to a sheltered bay where the gentle waves roll ashore. Families play volleyball on the beach, grab frozen drinks at the swim-up bar, and snorkel on the reef in the cove. A wedding takes place at the gazebo and, in the distance, past the kayakers and vast expanse of ocean, you can just make out the cruise ships docked at Cozumel.

Unlike Dreams Tulum, Dreams Puerto Aventuras is not a remote, isolated hotel. The terraced seven-story peach-colored structure with red gabled roof is located in the gated community of Puerto Aventuras, surrounded by condos, marinas and other hotels. Puerto Aventuras is just south of Playa del Carmen, a good day trip for shopping, and near the ecological theme park, Xcaret. Less than 45 minutes to the south are the ruins of Tulum and the Cancun International Airport is only an hour's drive to the north.

Like all Dreams properties, there are no wristbands, necessary reservations for dinner, or towel cards. Yes, it's an all-inclusive resort without the usual headaches associated with all-inclusive resorts. Simply wander into any of the restaurants and have dinner. The area where this resort really shines is the service, keeping you pampered from the moment you arrive to the time you leave.
