6. Beach
If you’re looking for a gorgeous beach where you can spend a lot of time relaxing or enjoying watersports this probably isn’t the best resort for you.
Keeping it real, the beach is close by but it isn’t the best.
Much of its issues are due to seaweed problems that can make the beach unusable at times.
Although, the team at the resort does its best to clear the seaweed away and it isn’t around all the time.
Plus…
When spending time on the beach isn’t possible, there are other amazing experiences to be had.

7. Food & Drink
Let’s face it, great food and drink experiences are essential if you want your destination wedding celebrations to be amazing for you and your wedding party.
Dreams Sapphire definitely delivers with its array of à la carte restaurants and bars as well as a buffet eatery, a grill, and a café.
And…
The Sip, Savor & See program means you can sample the dining and nightlife at Dreams Jade Riviera Cancun and Now Emerald Cancun as well.
But, you don’t have to venture outside of Dreams Sapphire to get impressive eating and dining experiences.
You can choose from:
- Barefoot Grill for light lunches.
- Bluewater Grill for fine meat cuts, seafood, and fish.
- Portofino if you love Italian food.

8. Activities & Group Entertainment
Your wedding is obviously going to be a big occasion during your stay.
But, you and your wedding guests will be looking for other activities and entertainment too.
I have good news…
There’s no shortage of either at Dreams Sapphire.
There’s always something going on entertainment-wise, during the day and into the night.
And, that’s only the start…
You can enjoy sporting activities such as:
- Tennis
- Beach Soccer
- Ping-Pong
- Fitness center
- Golf at the nearby Gran Coyote Riviera Maya and El Camaleon Mayakoba Golf Courses for an extra charge
Or you can sit back and savor the entertainment including:

- Theme nights
- Spectacular shows
- Temazcal ceremony led by a healer
If any of your wedding guests have kids traveling with them, the Explorer’s Club for Kids will keep them happy.
The youngsters get to enjoy arts and crafts as well as a safe and fun playground.
Adults and kids can have fun at the resort’s three oversize pools and there’s also a separate wading pool for kids.
Last but not least, why not enjoy a pre-wedding massage at Spa By Pevonia?
Other treatments available include aromatherapy salt glow, seaweed body wrap, and manicure & pedicure.
Is there anything to do outside of Dreams Sapphire?
You’ll have more than enough activities and entertainment to enjoy inside the resort.
But, I’d still recommend you explore further afield as well.
This is such a beautiful part of the world.
It would be a shame not to see as much as you can.
Our team will book tours and activities for you and we’ll get you great deals on prices too.
One experience I’d always recommend is the Chichen Itza Tour.
You get the opportunity to visit the world-famous archaeological ruin.
This includes a guided tour and time to explore independently.
After you leave Chichen Itza, you spend time exploring a cenote.
