The Dreams chain offers a luxury, all-inclusive experience geared to couples and families. The rooms are luxurious, the pools inviting and the beach, white sand and soft.

From the town of Puerto Morelos, however, the resort seemed all concrete walls, something that worried us. We shouldn't have been. The expansive open-air lobby with its ceiling fans and center fountain made us feel as if we had entered a grand Mexican hacienda. So did the wooden boardwalk lined with shops that led to the pools.

Part of the Preferred Hotel Group, the 485-room Dreams Riviera Cancun, situated between Cancun and Playa del Carmen, opened in fall 2009. It's the newest of the chain's four area resorts. Along with Dreams Riviera Cancun, the chain has Dreams Cancun Resort and Spa in Cancun as well as Dreams Puerto Aventuras and Dreams Tulum, both just a bit further south in the Riviera Maya. The similar names can be confusing. Friends en route to meet us showed up at the Cancun property first.
