5/5 Excellent

"I have never stayed in an all inclusive resort and this resort did not disappoint for being my first. The staff were super friendly and very welcoming. The food options are awesome from the breakfast to the lunch to the dinner choices just a variety of food. Every day they had an activity calendar with a lot of things to do. I did not get to explore the entire resort but I definitely will be back to explore the rest of the resort."

Dreams Riviera Cancun Resort & Spa - All Inclusive

5/5 Excellent

"We had a wonderful experience at this hotel! The pool area is absolutely fantastic — spacious, clean, and perfect for relaxing or having fun. There were plenty of activities throughout the day, and the shows (Uci, the singers ) in the evening were super entertaining and well-organized. This is a great hotel for kids! The Kids' Club is one of the best I've seen — fun, safe, and full of engaging activities. The staff there is amazing with children, and they really know how to keep them happy and entertained. The food at the Seafood and Japanese restaurants was delicious, with a great variety of dishes to choose from. Everything was fresh and well-prepared. What really stood out to me was the excellent service — the waiters were incredibly friendly, attentive, and always had a smile on their faces. I highly recommend this hotel for families looking for a fun and relaxing getaway. I would definitely come back!"
