Resort Review: Dreams Tulum

This resort only gets better.

If you haven’t been to this resort in a while, you’re in for a treat.  A new lobby and entrance, new accommodations section, an expanded spa, a new conference center, and a free form second pool – in one word, wow!

Now, with all this expansion, the one thing this property has is sprawl.  So if you have mobility issues, this isn’t the resort for you.  But this is a great resort for families, couples, and singles traveling together.  It’s also a great property for family reunions, since it has a little bit of something for everyone.

This resort has perfected the destination wedding venue, and manages to offer up to 4 weddings a day smoothly and flawlessly.  Select from beach, chapel, and garden locations.  But book your destination wedding early, because the’s word’s gotten out!

I was happy to see their newly expanded spa.  This brings this spa in line with Secrets’ sister properties, and is also managed by Pevonia.  Spa prices are higher than I pay for in Dallas, but it’s about that pampering splurge.

There’s a wide range of room categories here.  The least expensive Deluxe Garden View Rooms are in the older part of the resort, with hacienda-style courtyards.  They are beautiful rooms, but pale in comparison to the Junior Suites so if you can afford the upgrade, it’s well worth it.

The property sits just north of the Tulum ruins, but the foliage has grown to the point that the Tulum ruins are hard to (if not impossible) to see.  Still, take a stroll along the beach going south, and you’re bound to see them.

And speaking of strolls, the beach here continues to be GORGEOUS!

Bottom line:  this resort continues to shine.
