Dreams Tulum Resort & Spa

The short version

Forty-four acres of coast and jungle give Dreams Tulum room for a lot. There are 432 rooms and suites, nine restaurants, a splash park and the Explorer's Club for kids, and a PADI dive center if you want to get underwater. The spa has treatment cabins in the jungle and on the beach, and downtown Tulum is about five minutes away.
