Dreams Riviera Cancun

5th – 7th September

Steph at Dreams Riviera Cancun

After a long but pleasant flight with Thomas Cook we arrived at Cancun airport at 2pm, we were greeted by Jumbo Tours and were taken to our first resort, Dreams Riviera Cancun. Upon arrival our luggage was taken care of and we went to the reception area to check in. The reception was breathtaking and we were amazed at the outlook all the way down to the sea.

We were directed to our room, which had a very authentic & stylish feel with an inside Jacuzzi and a balcony with an amazing view of the garden and sea.

Once at the room we rested for an hour then decided to have a walk around the hotel. We had a look around the pool and ended up on the beach; everywhere was immaculately clean, the white sand beach and the turquoise blue sea were beautiful. When the sun had gone down we retired to our room to shower and dress to dine out.

On arrival we were met with a nice cold glass of champagne and a cold towel. The bell boy took care of our bags and we where taken to the Excellence Club where we had a private check. The service was excellent  Once we arrived at the Excellence Club for check in we were presented with another glass of champagne. The Excellence Lounge was very nice and it provided computers with internet access which was great as we could speak to our son on face book whilst we where there, it had a small bar area and hot buffet style snacks which were regularly changed throughout the day.

I stayed at the Excellence Playa Mujeres for seven nights in September 2009. The hotel is modern and beautifully designed.

The room was great, identical to those shown on the Blue Bay Travel website, with a four poster bed and Jacuzzi bath. As we were a part of the ‘Excellence Club’ the mini bar included four bottles of spirits as well as the standard fridge stocked with wine, beers, water, fruit juices and fizzy drinks. Being a part of the Excellence Club provided us with an express, personalised check in service, the use of the Excellence Lounge, 24 hour concierge service and use of the Excellence Club private beach area and pools.

The Excellence Lounge was a lovely idea as it provided computers with internet access, had a small bar area and hot buffet style snacks which were regularly changed throughout the day. Unfortunately due to the location of our room (we were in block 9) we did not make good use of the Excellence lounge as it seemed pointless walking past several bars, restaurants and reception (with internet access) to get there. continue reading…
