The wife is looking at different vacation places and Dreams Playa Mujerus in Cancun is tops on the list. What can anyone tell me about this place with 3 kids (12,10,6)?

Hearing talk about gang shootings too, but I don’t much stock in rumors. It is Mexico and I figured staying in the tourists areas would be fine.

I haven't been to this particular Dreams location but have stayed a couple times at Tulum and another 1 in Cancun that I can't remember the name right now.

Looking at Playa Mujerus, it looks very nice. The Dreams properties IMO are usually pretty consistent, so I don't think you can go wrong.

As far as safety, you're much safer in a Cancun resort than you are in an American city.

My family went to Cancun back in the 90’s. Tried taking a public bus and going somewhere. Ended up in the wrong part of town, the only gringos on the bus, and the bus had bullet holes in it. Made a good story.

Headed to Excellence Playa Mujeres on Wednesday. We've done several TRS (part of Palladium Group) resorts and a couple of Secrets resorts. We are partial to the TRS properties but are looking forward to Excellence and seeing if the more premium pricing is worth it.

Dreams Playa Mujerus


We stated at Secrets Playa Mujerus which is the essentially the same resort just for adults only. We were able to go to the restaurants at Dreams, and it was not worth it. This was pre-pandemic and the service was slow and the food was bad. It took forever to get a table even though we had reservations. We tried the Brazilian steakhouse and the sushi restaurant and both were not worth the wait.

With regards to going to Mexico, it like going anywhere else stick to the main areas and you should be fine. I would recommend Kay Tours if you would like to do anything off property.

Wife and I went to Excellence Playa Mujeres last spring. It was fantastic. I can’t wait to go back.

Just go to Destin. There's no culture in Cancun. That's a waste of money on flights.

Excellence. End of story. I’ve been twice and while there have talked to others who have been elsewhere and they keep telling me excellence is the place to be.

Last time I went the crowd skewed younger and it was a little rowdy due to the stimmy money.

Ran into an old good friend from BR after he posted up next to us on the beach. Totally random.

I cant imagine anything beats the Grand Moon Palace. Ive done all inclusives all across the gulf/carribean but the past few years Im not really interested in going anywhere else anymore. Im going back for a third straight summer in June. The only thing it doesnt get a 10/10 on is the beach. We do take a free shuttle one day out of the trip to the beaches in the resort area of downtown Cancun when we want to have a beach day, but Id much rather spend my day at the pool anyway with the swim up bars and all the other amenities right at your fingertips.
