Dreams Sands Cancun

Having visited 4 Resorts in Cancun over the last couple of weeks, enclosed pls find our family review of the Dreams Sands (the others are Fiesta Americana Coral Beach, Marriott Resort and the Kempinski). If you like to see how the Resorts compare, please scroll down to see our little ranking. But lets start with the Dreams Sands (member of Hyatt Inclusive Collection) Located on the best stretch of beach (along with the Interconti) this is all white sands, picture perfect ocean and safe and calm waters - even for smaller kids. Seaweed free even in April. What a difference to the other side of Cancun (which has generally more wind/high waves and seaweed, there. Back to the Sands: Surroundings: We liked especially the relaxed scene and the calm of the resort. Yes there is music and entertainment but you do not have the constant annoying wind noise which you have on the other side of Cancun That makes it so much more relaxed on this side. The views from our balconied room very perfect. Rooms: We had a picture perfect view from out balconied room on the Preferred Club Level. The room itself had a comfortable king bed, a one sink bathroom with shower and a separate toilet. Rooms are nice, however bathrooms need upgrading and better maintenance. Nothing annoying but that could be better. Pools /Beach: Nice pools 2 big ones and 1 for preferred members. Easy unlimited towel service. Sunbeds with shade will be taken early morning. Beds in the sun all day long available. Good service at the beds regarding drinks and food. Well done! Preferred Club: Hands down - having a lounge in an all inclusive resort does not make any real sense. The additional Restaurant that ist available for breakfast at the Pool, was a nice add on in order to avoid the buffet. We never used the Prefered Club beach or pool. The regular areas where at least as appealing as the Club Section. Kids Club: Super friendly, engaged. Two rooms with toys and ready for movie nights, parties, beach camp, etc. Daily swinnming hours- if you agree. They take your kids to Lunch or Dinner if necessary. Program mostly till 9pm. Well done. Food: Service at every restaurant, bar, on the beach and the pool was great. Friendly and quick. No reservation policy at the Restaurants (except Tepanyaki) is a plus in our view because this takes timing out of your routine (but this could be viewed differently). No bracelets to be identified as an AI guest is a huge plus, thus you avoid this ugly wristbands. Food quality: The buffet is the weak link, however, all the a la carte restaurants are good, especially the Japanese was to our liking. Conclusion: Would come back. Great beach and ocean. This is a good place for kids, with an overall relaxing vipe and friendly people who work there. Our Ranking: Please not - all hotels have wonderful oceans in front. Best Beach: 1. Dreams Sands 2.

Very disappointed in the staff and service of the resort. The pools are in very bad condition with pool tiles missing. While there someone cut themselves very badly due to the poor conditions of the pool. Overall I was not impressed with the resort. Definitely stay at another resort there are some beautiful ones with great service.

Dreams Sands gave us the perfect vacation. I have traveled all over Mexico and stayed at many resorts; for the price, this one was hands down one of the best. It provided what some of the high-end hotels supplied at a reasonable cost. I was super impressed with the beach area. The area in front of this hotel had a nice sandbar where you could wade out without stepping on large rocks or dealing with any seaweed. This is one of the best beaches I have stayed on. The seating at the beach was a bit crowded as the hotel was at capacity, but each day they were able to find me a lounge chair without getting up at the crack of dawn to lay out my towels. There was some confusion with my room when I arrived, and they gave me a daybed on the beach one day for my troubles. I highly recommend staying in that one day, as it is a very relaxing way to spend the day under the shade of the canopy close to the waves. As mentioned prior, there was a small issue with the room category that my travel agent booked and what they had available once I arrived. I was very pleased with the service that Oscmar provided. He listened to my concerns and tried his best to correct the situation. He was able to fix the issue to my satisfaction the very next morning. I truly enjoyed my vacation. I thought it was a great value for the amenities that this hotel provided. I have stayed at hotels that were double in price, and I can honestly say I felt this hotel delivered some of the same levels of quality that high-end hotels provided. The staff was always accommodating and eager to assist. Thank you, Oscmar and all of your wonderful staff, for a truly relaxing vacation. -Jennifer

Jhandi was the most amazing beach server I have ever had! He is so very good at his job! I made sure to get up early just to get to sit with him everyday! I cannot wait to see him again! He is definitely an asset to Dreams! 💜❤️💚💜❤️❤️💚💜❤️💚❤️💜❤️❤️💚💜

The best spa service my therapist Deyanira was hands down the best she made me feel renewed refreshed and the made my last day of vacation amazing highly recommended her for any spa service. Hotel staff was super friendly and very welcoming!
