5. Rooms at Dreams Jade Resort

Live the suite life at Dreams Jade!

Each room and the decor is inspired by the turquoise sea and Puerto Morelos’ mesmerizing sunsets.

ALL suites are non-smoking, use proximity keys, and have 24-hour room service.

The rooms at Dreams Jade resort are divided into two sections…

On one side you will find the regular rooms and the other side you will find the preferred club rooms.

Like with most resorts you get the view you pay for.

Room categories at Dreams Jade include: 

• Junior Suites
• Family Suites
• Preferred clubs suits

Tropical view = jungle view (trees, gardens, and mangroves)

Oceanfront rooms are located at the end of the U-shaped building and of course, feature stunning full oceanfront views.

In the preferred section, you can expect much larger rooms with separate living areas.

When you book preferred, you do get a few extra perks for the extra money such as:

• Preferred club lounge for check-in, check-out, hors d’oeuvres, premium liquor
• Preferred club pool exclusive to guests 18+
• Upgraded amenities in the room

They come with all the amenities you’d expect of a 4-star hotel including LCD tv, spacious bathroom with whirlpool and rain showers, a furnished balcony or terrace.

6. Beach

The beach here in Puerto Morelos is beautiful –  you can walk for miles!

However, it is narrow is some areas but the sand is white, soft, and powdery.  Cool off under the palapas for some shade with a cocktail in-hand.

If you love swimming in the sea it can be a little rocky on entry, so consider bringing water shoes with you to avoid any unexpected cuts or scratches.

7. Food & Drink

Dreams Jade has 7 a la carte restaurants to make your mouth water.

My recommendation: be sure to check out the upscale adults-only Cin Cin.

And if like me, you can’t live without coffee check out the Coco Cafe for some rich flavors and aromas to excite the senses.

There are 6 bars and lounges available so you will never go thirsty and the best part is there is a swim-up bar in each pool.

If you’re into sports ‘The Time Out’ outdoor lounge is the perfect place for a cocktail with a sea view while you keep up to date with the score on the big screen.

If you live for the party this hotel may not be for you. It’s definitely more suited to relaxed vacationers, however, if you did want a blow out you are not far from Cancun or Playa del Carmen.

Onsite Scores is the only after-hours hotspot for dancing and drinks.

9. What Brides Said…

My husband and I had a small destination wedding on March 18th amidst the corona craziness. I have to say the resort did a great job of making us and our guests feel comfortable, there were sanitizing stations at every food and beverage area as well as main public areas like reception, etc.

In terms of the resort itself, it was fabulous. This was our second time at Dreams Jade (the first time was seven years earlier) and it did not disappoint. The beach/grounds are beautiful, the facilities are clean, and the staff is great!

The buffet had a great breakfast, we ate there every day with our server Eduardo – he was a ray of sunshine first thing in the morning and we ate lunch almost every day at Castaways with Edwin who was an absolutely fantastic server. Both waiters’ kind and personable service made us want to go back to the resort soon.

We stayed in the preferred section as the bride and groom and appreciated having an adult-only pool. The main pool was only loud for about an hour a day, but having the preferred section was wonderful.

There were plenty of chairs on the beach and we never had to hunt for shade.

The restaurants for dinner were excellent. The food and service were great.

As for the wedding – we had a very small wedding on the beach and dinner at the French restaurant. Jaqueline took care of everything. She was wonderful.

I had my nails and makeup done by Fanny in the spa – I would highly recommend her. I was very nervous about getting my makeup done without a trial run, but Fanny was great. She listened to want I wanted, my makeup was simple (not too heavy) and done with professional quality. I would request Fanny if you are getting your make up done at the spa. – Gillian K

Went for a friends wedding. The hotel was amazing – food options were great, location, staff, rooms are spacious. I would go back in a minute. As a group we did an excursion outside the hotel and was so much fun. – sandyzinkowski

10. Pros & Cons

Things we LOVE:

• Dreams Jade is 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.
• The hotel isn’t overwhelmingly big, it’s the perfect size in my opinion.
• ALL of the wedding venues at this resort have stunning ocean views.
• There are great room perks available when booking in groups.
• Junior suites are VERY spacious.

Things we don’t love as much:

• The beach is a little rocky in parts so if you have your heart set on powdery soft sands this may not be the resort for you. We’d recommend water shoes if you love swimming in the ocean.
• The adults-only pool is reserved for Preferred Club guests.
• Dreams Jade has the tendency to try and sell timeshares to its guests.
