Location and Beaches
Dreams Cancun has a choice location, with oceanfront on three sides. It's in the Hotel Zone, so is close to restaurants, shops, etc., yet has private beach areas, and a private lagoon.
Due to hurricane damage, erosion, and reconstruction, the condition of beaches in Cancun is changeable; always check the most recent conditions at any resort. (See how, below.) At time of writing, guests comment favorably on the "powdered-sugar" white sand that has been brought in, at Dreams Cancun.
