1. Beach
If you’ve ever had the pleasure of taking a stroll along any of Tulum’s beaches you will know just how beautiful they are.
The best part about Dreams Tulum beach?
In my opinion, it’s how wide and private it is!
Not to mention it’s beautifully framed in parts with lush looming palm trees.
Weddings on the beach here are usually tucked away in a quiet corner of the beach that offers unobstructed views of the ocean and the shorelines edge.
2. Dreams Garden
This is a large space perfect for bigger reception parties.
Some couples prefer this as the grass and garden are easy to walk on, especially in heels.
All garden options at this resort are perfect for those of you who want more privacy for your special occasion.
3. Secret Garden Gazebo
The Mexican jungle is completely underrated if you ask me.
Do you picture yourself getting married under a palapa hut, surrounded by thick lush greenery, perfectly landscaped, with the wilderness’ echos as the white noise to your wedding?
If yes, then look no further.
4. Convention Center Ballroom
It’s always good to know the resort has an indoor backup option because let’s face it failing to prepare, is preparing to fail in my eyes.
This space can be arranged beautifully to host groups of all sizes.
5. Jungle Garden Gazebo
Yes, this resort has not one but two garden gazebos to choose from. Take your pick.
6. Sunset Rooftop
My favorite of them all! I mean, just look at it.
I can feel the ocean breeze whipping through my hair as I write this.
7. Chapel
Finally, if your religion is something you hold close to your heart this has got to be one of the prettiest adorned chapels in all of the Riviera Maya.
4. Gay Weddings At Dreams Tulum
You may be wondering “can you have a Same-Sex Wedding at Dreams Riviera Cancun?”
Yes, you can have a same-sex wedding at the Dreams Tulum.
This resort actually made our list of top hotels to host your gay wedding!
It gets the PlayaDelCarmen.Com stamp of approval from us.
Love is love, after all!

6. Beach
If you’ve ever had the pleasure of strolling along beaches in Tulum you will know they are in a league of their own when it comes to comparing them to Playa.
The beach at Dreams Tulum is simply stunning!
The best part about it, in my opinion, is how wide it is in parts (which is becoming more and more of a variety in this region).
It is rocky in parts but not enough for it to put you off going in the water, beautifully framed with palm trees this curvy slice of shoreline is the perfect place to spend your well-earned beach days.
7. Food & Drink
You don’t have to worry about making a reservation at any of Dreams Tulum array of speciality restaurants – you don’t need to.
Choose from nine dining experiences, featuring six à la carte restaurants, a buffet, a grill, and a café.
Or, enjoy a Romantic Dinner in your suite or at one of the Romantic Spots.
I highly highly recommend dinner on the beach for at least one of the nights during your stay at this magnificent hotel (some wedding packages also have extra special options included).
It’s all available at any hour day or night.

9. What Brides Said…
Find out what recent bride who had their wedding at this hotel has to say about their experience…
Monica Oveoque
“Our wedding had been rescheduled twice during covid in another country. My husband and I decided to move our wedding along with 30 guest to Dreams Tulum.
Our wedding coordinator Victoria was hands down amazing, not to mention Arcangel one of our waiters at our wedding whom later was our waiter at one of the dining rooms.
Benito another waiter in the outdoor bars was super friendly to our entire guest. We received great massages by the pool by a very sweet lady which I never got her name.
The hotel does have great measures in place for COVID. Our room was an ocean view which had a great view.”
Anahi P
“I had my wedding here on August 7th and let me tell you, they make you feel right at home since day 1. When we arrived they all welcomed us with open arms. Every time we needed anything it was offered and all we had to do was ask once.
Overall every staff personnel is very helpful and super attentive.”

Things we LOVE:
- Dreams Resorts are part of AMResorts – we love working with these guys it’s always high-level service, easy and effective. For example, they have been great through the whole COVID pandemic enabling the bride to quickly and easily simply move the date of their wedding and not lose any money, plus their new safety protocols are the best I have seen.
- The hotel isn’t overwhelmingly big, it’s the perfect size in my opinion.
- Great range of wedding packages to choose from.
Things we don’t love as much:
- They may try to sell you a vacation package.
