Dreams Playa Mujeres Golf & Spa Resort
Although I have been to the Cancun/Riviera Maya area of Mexico dozens of times, I had yet to visit the Playa Mujeres area north of Cancun until my most recent trip in April 2021. I am so glad I finally made it! I was blown away by the beauty of the beaches in Playa Mujeres and Dreams Playa Mujeres sits on one of the best stretches. This gorgeous all-inclusive resort features 65,000 square feet of swimming pools cascading down from the lobby to the beach and boasting incredible ocean views. Its large and modern suites, multitude of family-friendly activities (including swim with the dolphins!), and close proximity to Cancun make this the perfect spot for a family vacation.

Dreams Vista Cancun - Endless Ocean Views
In April 2021, I traveled to Cancun to visit new resorts that had opened up during the pandemic. Among my favorites was the brand new Dreams Vista Cancun Golf & Spa Resort, located in the gated community of Puerta del Mar. This contemporary family-friendly resort has a modern and stunning architectural design with breathtaking views of the Caribbean Sea and Isla Mujeres. The crown jewel of this all-inclusive resort is the exclusive rooftop area on the 16th floor which offers guests gorgeous views of the surrounding Cancun area and features an infinity pool, gourmet restaurant, and lounge.
