Background about Dreams Tulum
Dreams Tulum Resort & Spa is part of AMResorts, which also has the Sunscape and Secrets brands. (Dreams Tulum was formerly Sunscape Tulum.)
Tulum is a well-known name on the Riviera Maya, because of the unique Mayan ruins at Tulum: the only sea-side Mayan archeological site. Location is 74 miles south of the Cancun airport, 30-minute south of Playa Del Carmen.
The Riviera Maya, south of Cancun, is a terrific area for family holidays: with barrier coral reef; lovely snorkeling lagoons; and wonderful outings to eco-theme park Xcaret and Xel-ha. Also special to the region are "cenotes": deep natural pools of clear water; there's one at Dreams Tulum. Read more about the Riviera Maya. Tulum is also close to the Aktun Chen caves and the ancient Mayan city of Coba.
