I wanted great food with premium liquor. I needed it to be a family friendly resort because some kids are coming to the wedding. I also did not want to be in downtown "party" area of Cancun... but I didn't want to be an hour away from the airport more toward Riveria Maya.
SOOOOO.... After lots and lots of looking I found Dreams Riviera Cancun! DRC has everything I'm looking for.
I've heard almost nothing bad about the food or restaurants (another big plus for me was all the ala cart restaurant choices vs. a big buffet with one or two ala cart). I've heard soooo many good things about their food. Another thing was the alcohol... a lot of all inclusives don't have or keep in plentiful stock of premium liquor, which DRC does. Also, DRC has mult beer choices which other all inclusives with have only one or two brands.
The rooms look incredible and I read so many great reviews about the rooms. I loved the style and decor of everything...the lobby, the pool areas, the restaurants and the rooms.
Plus it's only 20 mins or so from Cancun Airport and it's not in the "Party Zone" but close enough that if any guests really wanted to go they could.
The wedding packages was also another big thing. I looked into Iberostar and Azul pretty closely too but their wedding packages were no where near what Dreams offers for the price. Dreams comes with everything if you get the Love or Ultimate.... hair, makeup, photos, video, flowers, cake, mexican trio, a cocktail hour with horderves (sp?) plus a dinner reception (food included) for 20 guests and then anything additional you'd pay for per person. None of the other resorts had a cocktail hour let alone a full meal...most other resorts had cake and champagne toast. Dreams you definately get the most for your money! Plus the resort is absolutely beautiful and brand new!
I'm sooo excited and I know I chose a great resort. DRC was the perfect pick for my FI and I and the vision we had for our wedding. I hope this helps and good luck hunting for your resort that holds your vision!
