Our original stay at Dreams Sands was supposed to be from Monday to Friday… We had such a good time we extended our trip to make it a full week! If you are a beach lover this is the hotel for you! From someone who has been coming to Cancun for over 25 years, I can tell you that you will not find a more calm, clean and enjoyable beach to than this one. It’s like a swimming pool in the ocean!We had a wonderful time with the fantastic hotel staff at Dreams! From the moment we arrived Jorge the concierge and his team will sanitize your bags and get you checked in. Anything you need, Jorge is the man to see… He can get it done! We were staying in the Preferred Club section and got to know Oscar at the preferred lounge very well. What a great guy! He made us fantastic drinks and had great conversation… I would like to point out some of the restaurant staff… Jorge and Felix at the Buffet...Christian from Olio/Patio also Carlos and Gerardo at the Mexican restaurant El patio. At The Grill, ask for Victor... he is an exceptional waiter who provided great service… At Portofino we had Rafael who was also great! Gherson on the beach was very friendly and always took care of us well. Also Paola and Arturo were great managers...Diana always had a friendly smile at the Buffet and other places… however, the most wonderful person during our stay was Merly from housekeeping! She went out of her way to make my girlfriend and I feel special the entire time! Thanks Merly and everyone at Dreams
