A Suite Review–PC Oceanfront Master Suite at Dreams Riviera Cancun

For those of you who requested more info on resorts/suites amenable to families, here’s another very popular family-friendly resort located north of Playa del Carmen.  It’s called Dreams Riviera Cancun Resort and Spa–anyone familiar with the Dreams name will know that these resorts are upscale properties geared towards families with younger children (the Explorer’s Club takes children as young as age 3).  Unlike some other family-friendly resorts, Dreams properties typically do a very good job of entertaining their youngest guests.  This particular resort offers a weekly beach camping adventure just for kids, big screen movies, separate kids theater for performances, sandcastle contests, rock climbing wall and splash pad at the Explorer’s Club, and the usual video games/table games.  Here’s a big plus for parents–the Explorer’s Club is open until 10 p.m. and will make sure your kids have dinner thus ensuring that parents get some “couple time” while on vacation
