DREAMS TULUM, RIVIERA MAYA
An oasis in paradise, if there is such a thing, is a very fitting
description for Dreams Tulum Resort and Spa in Riviera
Maya. Located on the edge of the Parque Nacional Tulum,
where the famous archaeological site of the Ruins of Tulum
reside, the all-inclusive 5-star AAA Four Diamond Award
winning resort is a tranquil yet fun place for guests to renew
and rejuvenate both body and spirit.
Situated on a stretch of secluded white sand beach, the resort
is perfect for romantic retreats and once-in-a-lifetime celebra-
tions. Lush blossoming gardens are found throughout the
44-acre property, shading the walkways and outdoor event
spaces of the 432-room Hacienda-style resort. The locations
for hosting weddings are numerous and include both beach
settings and jungle garden settings, as well as indoor ballrooms.
A blue Spanish-style wedding chapel with crowd overflow room
is available for couples looking for a Catholic ceremony.
Before the wedding, when emotions can get a little stressful or
nerve-racking, the bridal party may choose to separate into
groups by sex or stay together to enjoy services at Dreams Spa
by Pevonia, where a newly constructed glass-walled jungle suite
is available for guests to indulge. Another more spiritual and
highly recommended experience is the Temazcal spa– to purify
and heal your mind. This ritual is lead by a Mayan Intercessor
or Xamán.
It is also recommended to join the Preferred Club where guests
have special privileges including personalized check-in and
checkout with concierge service, access to the Private Preferred
Club Lounge for daily continental breakfast service, afternoon
hot and cold hors d’oeuvres, exquisite desserts & fine liquors,
a Private Beach area and upgraded mini-bar service. d
