The newest feature at Dreams Cancun for summer 2007 is really the ultimate for families...A whole new Dolphin encounter right in the resort. Dreams Cancun resort is made up of two buildings, the tower and the pyramid buildings. Nestled between these two buildings is a gorgeous salt water lagoon. Part of this lagoon is still a beach area where guest can swim but now it separates the new home of the Dreams Cancun Dolphins.

Dreams guests will now be able to watch these playful creatures all day along. There are 6 Defines (as they say in Spanish) now living in the Dreams Resort lagoon. Vacationkids knows adults and children alike will be enchanted by Saasil, Kanek, Kichpam, Xcaret, Zama and Kookay. At the Dreams Cancun Dolphin encounters guests can swim with these magnificent creatures and learn all about them. The cost per encoutner is $149 per person. The price is a per person rate and is the same whether you are an adult or a child. For kids, there is a height restriction of 3 feet, 6 inches to be allowed into the program and of course kids must be water safe. Any child participating in the Dolphin encounter program must be accompanied by a responsible adult. Actually this Dolpin Encounter program is open to the public. Any Cancun visiter can sign up and participate but Dreams resort guests will be given top priority.
What is even more exciting is that there is now a new room category which are dolphin view rooms. There are just a few rooms on the ground floor of the pyramid building where the balconies are only
about 10 feet away from the Dolphins. We hope you can see what me mean by studying the photos here.
Imagine sitting on your patio with your children watching these amazing creatures. There rooms are Standard rooms but are considered an upgrade because of there location. If you are an animal lover and have your heart set on one of these rooms, book early! There are only a handful of rooms with in this category...again book early to avoid disappointment. Also please keep in mind that dolphins don't sleep. They constantly swim and interact. So if splashing and flipper noises might disturb you from your beauty sleep, these rooms might not be the best choice for you.

For those of you who have not yet visited Cancun, a little back ground...the Hotel Zone of Cancun is shaped like a backwards number Seven. Dreams Cancun is ideally positioned in it's own cul de sac right at the "bend" of the seven. It sits right in the heart of Cancun yet it feels like it is a million miles away from civilization. Thanks to it's idyllic position, all of the 379 luxury rooms at Dreams Cancun offer some sort of water view. The resort area is surrounded on three side by ocean. The adult beach at Dreams Cancun offers a breathtaking view of Cancun in the distance. The beach on this side of the resort tends to have a bit rougher surf but there is a reef and a small rocky island that break most of the waves. The main beach shown here is located on the complete opposite side of the resort. It faces towards the island of Isla Mujeres in the distance and offers smoother seas.

Connecting the two beach areas is a scenic path, great for strolling or jogging that offers gorgeous, panoramic views of the Caribbean sea. Along the way are spots to sit, relax and take in the view.

For toddlers and infants under the age of 3 OR for parents who want individualize attention for their children,
private Nannies can be arranged by concierge for about $12.00 USD per hour. This price may change depending upon the number of children in a family, time of day etc. Again the private nanny service for infants and toddlers currently is NOT part of the all inclusive plan and parents must pay extra for nannies. Nannies must care for childen either in the family's room or public areas of the resort. Nannies and children under the age of 3 are not allowed in the explorer's kids club are for safety reason. Respectfully the management at Dreams Cancun feels this individualirzed care is important for the comfort and safety of little ones so that all of their guests can enjoy VIP treatment.
