Dreams Playa Mujeres Walk-Through Video, Part I (Lobby, Pools, Beach)

For those of you interested in the new Dreams resort in Playa Mujeres, here is my first video of the property which covers the lobby, most of the pools, and the beach.  Let me know what you think of the resort!  I anticipate part 2 will be up tomorrow evening which covers the rest of the main pool, the waterslides, kid’s water park, and the Lazy River.

Drone Video of Royal Hideaway Playacar

Take a look at Royal Hideaway Playacar from a drone’s perspective–this was taken prior to the renovations, so a few outdoor spaces may look a tad different here than what the resort currently looks like (re.

Videos of New El Dorado Seaside Suites (not Sensimar)

While this resort is on my vacation short list, there is not a lot of dedicated material on it yet despite its opening in late 2015.  Although the resort was partially accessible to guests at that time, amenities have been completed in stages meaning that guests have been unable to fully access or enjoy everything this new resort has to offer.  Here are a few short videos which, hopefully, will give you a better idea of what the resort presently looks like.  (If you’d like to read a review of property amenities, here’s the link).
