Food37 mentions · 18 filmed
- “Reservations also aren't required for the restaurants, though they have a dress code that many guests find pesky at times.” 6
- “Additionally, I also preferred the quiet sit-down breakfast at Seaside Grill, which is only available to Preferred Club guests.” 17
- “The number four thing on the pros list was the breakfast buffet at the World Cafe breakfast was pretty legit on the buffet they had a great omelet station in fact our first morning there I think I might have had the best omelet I've ever had” On camera153:31
- “While Coco Cafe does serve small pastries, breakfast rolled oats and parfaits, I would skip this quick service and just come here for a cup of coffee. I tried the rolled oats, but it lacked any sweeter and tasted a bit sour.” 17
- “I will say the steaks at the GAO Grill were not great though I really enjoyed the appetizers I had there but I would choose from a different entree entirely next time” On camera155:39
- “Additionally, the portion sizes for most of the food items were not too big, which allowed me to order and try more dishes throughout my stay.” 17
- “While I didn't prefer the sushi at the buffet - it was similar to Himitsu - I liked that the buffet provided me with plenty of options, and the food items I tried were flavorful. While I preferred my breakfast at Seaside over the precooked options at the buffet, I really enjoyed my lunch here. Specifically the fish dishes, including the paella and seafood medley in a cream sauce.” 17
- “The dinner consisted of miso soup, which was a bit undersalted for my liking, three pieces of sushi and fried rice with grilled vegetables and chicken, beef and shrimp. The fried rice and grilled vegetables were the highlight of this meal with large portions and umami flavoring.” 17
- “number three on the pros list is the allart restaurants the food at the art restaurants is pretty good in fact I'd say it's the best we've had at an all-inclusive before” On camera155:00
- “For dessert, I had to try the churros covered in chocolate sauce; they were perfectly crispy on the outside with a soft center. The dishes didn't disappoint and made El Patio a standout restaurant.” 17
- “It's a standard buffet. It has all the core options. The quality is decent. The quality is good, but it's not going to be a main place to dine. It's a perfect place for breakfast or for lunch.” On camera2214:24
- “now this is the buffet I've been going to Cancun for over 20 years probably stayed it jeez 25 30 restaurants all right I'm sorry 30 resorts this is the best buffet I've ever eaten at I can't begin to tell you how good the food is at this place compared to other similarly priced resorts” On camera126:08
- “The dining setup feels convenient rather than overwhelming. World Cafe handles the broad breakfast, lunch, and dinner needs, while the a la carte restaurants give the evenings more structure.” 14
- “orio with its Mediterranean theme offers delectable dishes while porino takes guests on a journey to Italy with classic Italian cuisine served alak cart in a fine dining atmosphere” On camera42:34
- “Azul serves as the main buffet restaurant, operating throughout the day with an impressive international selection during breakfast, lunch, and dinner service.” On camera72:26
- “When I arrived at the hotel, I dined at the poolside seafood restaurant before my room was ready. I enjoyed the fried octopus ceviche with cucumber, serrano chili, avocado and red onion.” 17
- “in the spirit of transparency though we acknowledge that a small minority of guests Express disappointment particularly regarding food quality and a perceived shortfall in room service standards during their stay” On camera46:41
- “While buffet reviews are mixed, the à la carte restaurants, especially the Japanese and steakhouse options, are frequently highlighted for their delicious food and good service.” 11
- “Unsurprisingly, the Mexican cuisine was delicious and a favorite during my stay at the resort. El Patio is a dinner restaurant that features flavorful dishes from different regions of Mexico. I loved that the restaurant leaned into its authenticity and featured dishes such as beef tongue stew tacos.” 17
- “number five on the pros list is the cocoa Cafe and Ice Cream Parlor my wife really enjoyed the coffee and the Crepes were simply amazing” On camera152:29

- “The rookies had the outdoor generic buffet, they sat, they ate, and then they waited for the show. Big mistake.” On camera226:28

- “A whopping 14 restaurants and bars are packed into the Dreams Sands, though some past guests have found food average.” 6
- “Some guests report that the buffet food can be mediocre, lukewarm, or lack sufficient variety compared to the specialty restaurants.” 11

- “With nine on-site dining outlets, this hotel had no shortage of food options, even for the pickiest eaters.” 17
- “the number four thing on the cons list for us was that there there's no ice machines in the hotel you have to call room service to get a bucket of ice some people might like that but I'd rather run down the hall and grab some ice rather than wait 20 to 30 minutes for someone to bring me a bucket of ice to my room” On camera154:14
- “it's important to note that individual preferences vary and amidst a few critical comments many others praise the excellent food” On camera46:52
- “While the meal was tasty, specifically the rack of lamb with mashed potatoes and ratatouille, the escargot lacked that extra bit of flavor to really make it stand out. Also, the creme brulee tasted more like vanilla pudding than the traditional dessert.” 17
- “With so many decent food options, multiple pools, activities and entertainment, there is no shortage of fun to be had at this hotel.” 17
- “-Mixed reviews on buffet food quality, with some finding it mediocre, lukewarm/cold, or lacking variety.” 11

- “anyway that's it it's well worth the money the food is amazing the service is amazing that people work hard they're keeping it clean” On camera1210:58
- “While Dreams is an all-inclusive resort, what is not included in the hotel price can be pretty costly. There is a poolside stand that sells sunscreen, beach gear for kids, pool floats and more. But the prices are extremely inflated for each item.” 17
- “I can book a stay for just 21,000 Hyatt points per night, which I'd say is a pretty good deal.” 17
- “All in all, the Dreams Sands is a good value for a hotel of this caliber, but it's worth considering the Sandos Cancun Luxury Experience Resort, which has more pool space.” 6
- “Preferred Club upgrades offer excellent value for families” 8
- “Luckily, number one positive, the price is extremely palatable. The price makes the property so much better than it is.” On camera2215:24

- “If you like shopping, off-site restaurants and bars, or nightlife, Dreams is in a great location.” 1
- “Yes, the resort is located in the Hotel Zone near La Isla Shopping Village, which means restaurants, shops, and convenience stores are within walking distance or a very short taxi ride. This is helpful for families who want dining variety, need to purchase items like diapers or snacks, or want to explore beyond the resort without extensive transportation planning.” 8
- “The location is another major win. Being in the hotel zone means Cancun's outside energy is nearby, but the beachfront still creates a resort feeling.” On camera147:52
- “Approximately 20-25 minutes by car, making it one of the most convenient beachfront family resort options from the airport. This is significantly shorter than Riviera Maya resorts (45-90 minutes) and makes arrival and departure much easier with young children, car seats, strollers, and family luggage.” 8

The convenience factor is especially valuable when traveling with young children.” 8
- “As someone who grew up in what Northeast locals call the tri-state area (New Jersey, New York and Connecticut), where pizza reigns supreme, I didn't have super-high expectations for pizza at an all-inclusive resort. However, my barbeque chicken pizza and shrimp pizza slices were pretty good, a deliciously welcoming surprise.” 17
- “the lobby bar was excellent during the day today although I do have to say the evening crew at the lobby bar when we were there wasn't as friendly or provided anywhere near the level of service as the daytime crew” On camera159:57
- “I was frustrated with Claudia's slow response time, but once I switched over to Daniela and the wedding date got closer, I was very impressed. Daniela always got back to me within 24-hours, if not faster, and on several occasions we had more than one contact per day.” 10

- “Everyone was greeted with cool towels and a champagne. and the wonderfully friendly bell-men whisk your luggage away to your room or if you prefer, escort you so you know just where to go.” 10

- “A partial ocean view can still feel pleasant, especially if the room is used mostly for sleeping and changing. But at this resort, an ocean front balcony is naturally more rewarding because the shoreline is the main attraction.” 14
- “-Some rooms have dated decor and can experience noise from nightly entertainment.” 11
- “When comparing Preferred vs. Deluxe rooms, you will see the Preferred units feature nicer toiletries, an upgraded minibar and a complimentary newspaper.” 1
