Dreams Puerto Aventuras Reviews....

The staff of Vacationkids has a soft spot in their heart for Dreams Puerto Aventuras. We have all vacationed here with our own families and have since returned many times. This little resort just has a really fun vibe not found any where else.

To appreciate how unique the Dreams Puerto Aventuras Resort truly is, you first have to understand the surrounding resort community of Puerto Aventuras. Here you will find a 9 hole, par 36 championship Golf Course, scuba diving, shopping, fine restaurants and a magnificent beach. Puerto Aventuras offers the only deep water mainland marina located between Cancun and Belize City making it a haven for fishermen, divers and sailors. Dreams Puerto Aventuras has a dive shop located right on their beach. For a fee they will help guests arrange diving and motorized water sports.

Puerto Aventuras is a very eclectic community centered around a salt water lagoon and marina. The town center is a 2 minute walk from the Dreams Puerto Aventuras Resort lobby. Here families will find many waterfront boutiques, galleries, a variety of fine restaurants, bars and shops to explore so there is a lot to do. One of the most distinctive features of the Puerto Aventuras area is the Dolphin Discovery Adventure which is located in the town center lagoon. Here (for a fee) you can swim with the dolphins, seals and manatees. Of course you can walk down and visit these wonder creatures any time.

Dreams Puerto Adventuras Resort is small with only 305 finely appointed rooms. The resort property is compact and very easy to navigate for any family members with mobility issues. It's big enough to give older kids a little bit of independence yet small enough so parents can easily keep an eye on them. This resort is stroller friendly and even offers a zero entry pool. Dreams Puerto Aventuras has been architecturally designed so that the adult and children's areas are separate but easily accessible for convenience sake. The adult only pool is located on the quiet marina side of the resort. The main activity pool which welcomes adults and children alike is located on the ocean front side of the property along with a 30 person ocean front heated jacuzzi.

Off to the side on the edge of the property there are some rocky areas that are home to many tropical fish. Families looking for a great beach AND good snorkeling have the best of both worlds at Dreams Puerto Aventuras Resort. On the far edge of Dreams Puerto Aventuras there is a natural salt water pool cut into the rocky shore. Kids and grown ups alike will enjoy visiting here to snorkel and feed the colorful tropical fish in this protected area.

If there are any down sides to this resort or considerations parents need to make it would be....

• The beach area here is small and man made. It's a wonderful swimming beach with a reef at the edge of the bay to break any big waves. It's great for little swimmers but not so great for those who like long strolls along the shore. There are other area beaches for walking.
• Certainly worth the drive but this resort is 1.5 hours ride from Cancun airport. It's close to area attractions but this ride can be difficult for folks arriving on long flights.
