Hi
Will be staying at Dreams Playa Mujeres Golf & Spa Resort for a week. Any tips and suggestions at this resort? Does anyone have recommendations for activities near the resort? Will have young kids with us. Thinking Of renting a car to get around. Would love suggestions on snorkeling, scuba, maybe catamaran, interaction with dolphins for the kids.
I haven’t stayed here, but do know Dreams and we’re just back from a week in Tulum. If you’re not a member already - preferred club is worth it for the better beach experience and upgraded bar.
Snorkeling & scuba according to a diver I met who lives in Playa can be good where you are vs. other spots in & around Cancun but Sargassum has made land now, so depending on currents & wind, visibility may be crap. I would not rent a car. Taxi or Colectivo. Most of the dolphin experiences we’ve seen make me sad, but then our kids are older, so there’s a bit less of that pure joy/excitement for that sort of thing.
If leaving the resort, I’d certainly visit 1 or 2 Cenote’s to the south of you.
Do you know if Dream allows guests to bring their own wines and drink it at the restaurants?
Please do not support the dolphin prisons. They are not only inhumane, but the pollution they cause is destroying reefs and habitat.
Not sure. I have never seen anyone BYO at an AMR.
I’ve had a glass or two of the cheap Chilean wines which are included, but we just drink cocktails or Dos Equis while in Mexico. Hyatt spoofs the wine prices beyond the pale. I mean, hysterically. Last time at Dreams, I maybe saw one or two couples the entire week actually upgrading by buying a bottle (Caymus?). Some of the food is surprisingly good, but the situation doesn’t scream - I need to drink wine after a day in the sun/water.
Enjoy.
Did you feel it was dangerous to travel to mexico?
Why wouldnt you rent a car?
Dangerous? No, not in Quintana Roo. Unless I was there longer term, I just wouldn’t bother with the hassle of renting and figuring out where we’re going. It’s a vacation and for a few bucks more, why not have someone else manage transport? If you know where you’re going, the Colectivo’s are literally a few pesos per trip.
Our spanish sucks, so if anything did happen on our own, I don’t want to rely on google translate and a smile, that’s all. BTW - I love the little cars the Mexican market has. So, unlike the rest of N.A, apart from the resort VIP Escalades that litter HWY 307 along the coast.
Thanks for your input and help.
