"Despite spending our first night in a room with dbl beds our reservation was fulfilled when the next day we were given the king bed as booked. Food was ehh most days for me (personally) in the buffet breakfast being my favorite, my husband enjoyed the buffet most of his visits. Striker Sports bar we found better food than captain Morgan’s. Grounds were beautiful. We really enjoyed the caribe Caribbean restaurant and Kyoto Japanese. Bed was a bit firm for our taste but overall enjoyed our stay. Liked the proximity to the mall and strikers sports lounge. Saw the Michael and Madonna shows both casts did a great job. We really like the water features all over the property."

Dreams Tulum Resort & Spa - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent
"Overall, the property was good, and the rooms surrounded by the jungle were amazing. I did notice a few things that could be improved. In the restroom, there were small insects that looked like roaches hiding between the tiles. There were also many mosquitoes and other insects around the paths to the rooms, and we were bitten by something other than mosquitoes. I understand that insects are part of the local environment, but better pest control and attention to the walkways would make getting to the rooms more comfortable. The food was okay, but the buffet options were limited and seemed to repeat in different locations each day. Only a few dishes had much flavor. Also, only one pool was open during our stay because the other was under construction. I’d be interested in returning once the second pool is repaired and giving the property another try."
