Dreams Tulum

[MagsieMexico]

I read some terrible reviews about Dreams Tulum... I love the idea of being able to see the ruins and history right from the beach, but am afraid if it is really smelly like TripAdvisor says.

Anyone been there?

THis is one of our top picks right now... I've been doind some digging for reviews...
Curious to know why it is "smelly"

I love the idea of the church... and also the fact that there are nearby things for guests to do other than lay around all day...unless that's what they are there for!

I am also considering this resort beacause of the great sounding kids program it offers. Kids can attend a camp that is seperate from the others area(on the resort though). I have 20 confirmed with at least four children so it is important to me that everyone can have a relaxing time. I am not getting married until winter 2008, but it never hurts to look early.
As for the smell, I have heard it is because it is musty in some of the older rooms, it just went through major renovations and the newer reviews of it are better. Hope people can post any information they can on this resort.

I'm hoping Kevin can get there to take a look at it (it's on my list of things for him to do while he's down there) so I'll let you know what I can find out from him.

[MagsieMexico]

Yes, please, make him go! and give us info.

I know there are lots of people 'considering' it, but I can't find anyone that actually stayed there... anyone anyone??

Otherwise, It's going to be all up to you Jason to tell us everything!!!
Am I also correct in thinking that Jason is the only one actually booked with a wedding here?

Thanks Ladies (and gents... )

Why does this Dreams get such bad reviews? It seems absolutely stunning from the pics. And I can't imagine that it is that crappy like they make it out to seem in some reviews. Jason I am really jealous b/c I think it looks so nice!

TripAdvisor reviews always have to be taken with a grain of salt. There are quite a few bad reviews on there for Dreams Tulum, but almost all of them had to do with construction, mold smell (in the tropics?? go figure) or misrepresentation of the resort by the company they booked their trip with. Some people went to Dreams Tulum thinking they were staying at a 5 star resort, which Dreams Tulum is not. I would be disappointed too if that is what I was expecting. As far as I know, the construction is complete at Dreams Tulum. That gets rid of the noise complaints or the complaints of having to look at a construction site while on vacation. Lastly, is the smell complaints. Mold grows in humid climates! Tulum is a warm, humid climate year round. Mold will grow to some extent. Of course the smell should not be very noticeable, but it might be something you just have to live with to a certain extent. Bring scented candles, burn incense or use spray freshener if it bothers you.

I agree 100% Jason people will always find something to complain about. As long as the food is decent then I will have a good time wherever I go. The resort seems stunning! I am sure that you are going to have a wonderful wedding.
