The Pyramid Style Rooms Overlooking the Dolphin Pools



Dreams Cancun Resort and Spa is the only resort in Cancun which is surrounded on three sides by the brilliant crystal clear Caribbean. It is ideally located at the shore point known as Punta Cancun and is only steps from shopping, sightseeing and the exciting nightlife of this famous resort island. Dreams Cancun is an all inclusive luxury resort for couples and families.

While many all-inclusive resorts offer economy, Dreams has taken the concept a step further and has managed to provide unlimited luxury and unlimited fun at a standard that, until now, has been available only at a cost that is out of reach for many families and young couples.

Featuring an array of amenities for every age and interest, including supervised clubs that keep kids and teens busy from early morning until well into the evening, Dreams Cancun can truly boast that once you have arrived and settled in, there is no need to ever leave the property. Beach activities include kayaks, hobie cats, water bicycles, snorkeling, beach volleyball and big-screen movies on the beach. Evening entertainment includes Las Vegas style live performances, theme nights, cocktail parties, and oceanfront bars.

The number one complaint expressed by vacationers at all-inclusive resorts is the quality and variety of the food. Dreams Cancun offers guests a variety of a la carte gourmet restaurants and one buffet-style dining option. There is also the famous Paloma Bonita restaurant located adjacent to the resort which provides an authentic Mexican dining experience. On-property restaurants include Himitsu ,which features Asian delicacies; Oceana for gourmet seafood; Seaside Grill specializes in steak and grilled specialties; World Café has continental cuisine served buffet style. No advance reservations are necessary at any of the restaurants and you may return as often as you like to enjoy your favorite foods. There are also five bars throughout the resort including a swim-up pool bar, music lounges and piano and cigar bars. Your in-room mini-bar is restocked daily and is at no charge.

I spent several days at this elegant resort in May for the opening of Delphinus Dreams Cancun. This program, the first of its kind in North America, allows guests to observe and interact in the water with the incredibly friendly, beautiful and inquisitive dolphins. As one of their trainers told us, you do not play with the dolphins, they play with you. Swimming with these intelligent and gentle creatures is an experience that I will never forget. Along with several trained professionals, five guests at a time spent almost an hour in close contact with two dolphins. We were allowed to pet them, exchange kisses and observe them as they swam underwater. For those of us who wanted the ultimate experience, and we all did, we were propelled from behind through the water by both dolphins at once. We were amazed and thrilled as they sped incredibly fast and in tandem under the water and around the pool and made perfect contact with our outstretched feet. According to marine mammal specialists, the success of this program is the result of the environment provided and the care received, including veterinary supervision, training, nutrition and the appropriate environment for socialization with both humans and each other. Trained professionals insure that the experience is safe for both the guests and dolphins.

Guests of Dreams Cancun are given priority to participate in this exhilarating event as only a limited number are allowed to interact each day. If additional spaces remain, the experience will be offered to other Cancun visitors and locals as well. Each session is recorded by top-notch digital technology, photography and DVD video services to capture the memorable adventure.

New room categories have been added to the hotel including the pyramid style Deluxe Dolphin View Rooms with private balconies overlooking the dolphin pools so guests can watch the show. It was my privilege to spend two nights in one of these rooms and it was a unique experience. Long after most guests had gone to bed, the tireless dolphins continued to interact with each other as they dove, raced around the pool at incredible speeds and arched gracefully as they sailed through the air. The sounds they made are almost impossible to describe, but they were definitely communicating with each other. I spent several hours after dark in the hammock on the patio of my room with a last glass of wine as I watched them cavort effortlessly and with obvious pleasure.
