Any 2012 Mexico "Dreams" Brides out there?

Hello Everyone...I just got engaged a month ago and so I say "let the planning begin".  I had no idea there was SO much to think about...thank goodness for this website and all the wonderful brides out there to help!

Anyhow, right now we are thinking of a Dreams Resort on the Mayan Riviera, but can't decide on which location...they are all so stunning. Any thoughts on how to decide?  Oh...and we are thinking May 15th for the big day!

Hi Katie and welcome to the forums! Both Dreams Cancun and Dreams Tulum are wonderful locations! I have shot weddings there many times and I love them both. Here are couple links that might help you decide. Let me know if you have any questions!

I ended up choosing Dreams Cancun - so I will share my rationale in case you care about the same things I do.

First thing I wanted was a gazebo to get married at that wasn't right in the middle of the resort.  I know you can't have a "private" wedding when outside at a resort, but I didn't want the old guy in the speedo at the pool to be in all of my wedding pictures.  So with that in mind, that narrowed it down to Dreams Cancun and Dreams Puerto Aventuras.

At Dreams Cancun the gazebo is at a point:

At Puerto Aventuras the gazebo is across a little bridge on an "island":

To decide between these two resorts here are the pros and cons I looked at:

Cancun:

Pros: closer to the airport, better beaches, close to nightlife

Cons: in the middle of a big hotel area, farther from excursion attractions

Puerto Aventuras:

Pros: closer to excursion attrractions

Cons:  farther from airport, beaches that have been reviewed poorly on trip advisor, far from nightlife

Based on these things I chose Dreams Cancun.  I am sure all brides have different priorities in what they are looking for, but hopefully it helps to hear how another bride made her decision.

Best of luck deciding!!

Hello! I am having my wedding next year June 24, 2012 at the Azul hotel.  My travel agent has brought back tons of awesome pictures and raves about the wedding there.  Plus she raves about the wedding cordinator there which I already love because she has already contacted me and we have already started planning our event.  There are many choices.  You just have to go with your gut!

The dreams resorts are amazing!!  I think you can't go wrong with any of them.  It comes down to personal preferences and what you are looking for.  Good luck with your decision!

me too!!!!!! thinking may 2012, probably spent over a total of 20 hours of reaseach in past 4 weeks. overwhelming, love the dreams cancun ceremony location becuase of the green bluff that looks down on the ocean and rocks, but definately want adults only: so after all reaseach, i THINK i've narrowed downt to these: le blanc, excellence, secrets, or now that im reading this 'le rev;? obviously i'm indecisive. i know 3 thinngs, mexio 2012 and adults only ( i think) oh lord!! help!!!!!

I'M ALSO  BOOKED FOR THE DREAMS. THEIR HOTELS ARE AWESOME!!

Don't forget to take a look at Dreams Riviera Cancun... I believe its the newest Dreams hotel in the Riviera Maya area. Were getting married there next June and have been incredibly happy with them so far!
