The shock and tragedy of the Sept. 11 attacks resonated throughout the United States and the world. Each year, we seek to commemorate this day at our resorts to honor those lost in the attacks and keep in mind the families who lost loved ones that fateful morning in 2001. Recently, we hosted our annual Patriot’s Day to remember the 12th anniversary of the attacks.

Dark clouds began to roll in over the beach during the memorial.

The majestic flag is unveiled by guests during the ceremony.

A member of our staff looks out to the American flag that is being raised to remember the victims.

The tribute was especially moving for guests at Dreams Puerto Aventuras, as there was a family at the resort who lost a loved one in the attacks.

Guests join in the flag ceremony at Dreams Puerto Aventuras Resort & Spa.

We thank all of our guests who played a special part in this year’s Patriot Day at Dreams Resorts & Spas.
