Dreaming of Dolphins – at Dreams Cancun Resort & Spa and Dreams Puerto Aventuras Resort & Spa

Here at Dreams Cancun Resort & Spa and Dreams Puerto Aventuras Resort & Spa, we have something that most all inclusive resorts don’t have on property – dolphins! There is something about these awesome sea creatures that we just can’t get enough of. They’re sweet (and sassy at times), smart and sensitive – some of the best qualities that mammals can have. Since our dolphins are a huge hit with our guests, we decided to interview two dolphin trainers at Dreams Cancun & Dreams Puerto Aventuras. They gave us the inside scoop on what their jobs are like!

Sandra from Delphinus Dreams Cancun at Dreams Cancun Resort & Spa!

Sandra from Delphinus Dreams Cancun at Dreams Cancun Resort & Spa!

Our featured dolphin trainer from Delphinus Dreams Cancun is Sandra Guerra Molina, a Cancun native. Sandra has been with us for the last 8 years, and she has been such a pleasure to have on board. At Dolphin Dreams in Dreams Puerto Aventuras, we chose to feature Leila Zukkour Perez from Mexico City. Leila has been at Dreams Puerto Aventuras for only 2 months, but she has been with Dolphin Dreams for the past 4 years. We asked Sandra and Leila some questions, and here is what they had to say:

Dreams: Why did you want to be a dolphin trainer?

Sandra: I love animals (especially dolphins) and I’ve always wanted to work with them and take care of them.

Leila: I love the opportunity to interact with dolphins and observe/change their behaviors.

Dreams: What is your favorite part about your position and why?

Sandra: My favorite part of my job is learning everything that there is to know about dolphins, including their natural behaviors. I also love to teach our guests about them and watch them swim together, especially with kids. I’ve shared so many special moments training dolphins, and I’ve witnessed so many of them with our guests!

Leila: My favorite part of the job is that I get to not only work with the dolphins, but also with the other trainers, photographers, and the resort staff. We are a big, happy family!

Dreams: Who is your favorite dolphin that you work with, and why?

Sandra: My favorite dolphin is Waay. He is so smart, active, and he challenges me every day.

Leila: My favorite dolphins are Aitana and Carelo, because they were the first 2 baby dolphins that I had the opportunity to train.

Dreams: Tell me one fun fact about dolphins that we may not already know.

Sandra: Dolphins produce more than 3,000 different sounds through their blow-holes! Also, they form close bonds and relationships with each other (just like us)!

Leila: Dolphins are very considerate of each other when it comes to different behaviors. For example, when dolphins are doing a foot-push together (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKyoBTMnvSU), they wait for each other to make sure that one is not left behind!

Dreams: Tell me about your best memory you’ve had working for your dolphinarium.

Sandra: I formed such a strong bond with one of the dolphins that I was training, that she became very attached to me at one point, and it felt really special for me. Also, my favorite memories are teaching little kids about the dolphins and watching them swim together – its always so cute to watch!

Leila: There was an 8-year old guest that visited once that had an allergy to salt water, but he had dreamed of swimming with the dolphins since he could remember. We made a special program just for him so that he could be in a kayak and still be able to have similar interactions with the dolphins, as if he were swimming in the water with them. It made me so happy to see this child happy!

Dreams: Why would you recommend that guests have the dolphin experience when they visit Dreams Cancun or Dreams Puerto Aventuras?

Sandra: Guests should do Delphinus when they visit, because they will learn all about these incredible mammals. They will learn awareness about protecting animals and the ecosystem as well, which I think is very important. There aren’t many places where you can actually swim with dolphins – so here’s your perfect opportunity to do so!

Leila: Not all of the hotels have a dolphinarium outside of it, where you can look outside of your room’s balcony and see these awesome creatures interact in the water. Also, you can do other things with dolphins other than just swimming, such as kayaking.

Five Fun Facts about Dreams Resorts & Spas

Even though we’re constantly sharing activities, entertainment and recipes with you, we still think there might be a lot you don’t know about us. With that in mind, we thought it would be fun to tell you five lesser-known fun facts about Dreams Resorts & Spas.

Here it goes…

1. Dreams Punta Cana boasts one of the largest free form swimming pools in the Dominican Republic that winds from the lobby all the way down to the beach.

2. Dreams Los Cabos is working towards a greener and healthier planet by implementing the use of a desalinization plant, which reuses ocean water and allows the property to have an independent water supply from the city.

3. The Explorer’s Club at Dreams Tulum is Mayan themed. As kids enter the Mayan Temple they’ll be led into a world of adventure where daily activities are based around nature, science, exploration and creative arts.

4. Dreams Cancun is the only resort in Cancun to have a natural seawater lagoon with dolphins on site. Guests can swim with dolphins four times each day at 9 am, 10:30 am, noon and 1:30 pm.

5. Dreams Puerto Vallarta sits in a secluded cove on one of 40 beaches along Banderas Bay and offers 500 meters of private beach and crystal clear waters.

Recently, YouTube sensations, Jorge & Alexa Narvaez, visited Now Jade Riviera Cancun for some fun in the sun as a family. One of the main highlights of their stay in Mexico was visiting Dreams Cancun Resort & Spa to swim with the dolphins at Delphinus Dreams Cancun.

Delphinus Dreams Cancun

Are you wondering what makes Dreams Cancun Resort & Spa so special? There are many different reasons, such as the fact that our resort is located in the heart of the beautiful Cancun beach area (which was recently named the #20 Beach in the World by TripAdvisor) and that our guests experience Unlimited-Luxury® from the moment they step on our property. However, one of the unique attributes that makes Dreams Cancun a memorable family destination is Delphinus Dreams Cancun, which is located right on our property.

Delphinus Dreams Cancun offers our guests the incredible opportunity to swim with dolphins in a natural environment surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of the Mexican Caribbean. Each day a limited number of guests may actually swim and play with live dolphins in our sea water lagoon.

The Delphinus experience includes a brief orientation and 45 minutes of swimming, longer than any other swim with the dolphins experience, for $159 per person. Adults and children at least 3’6” tall may swim alone with the dolphins. Smaller children may participate if accompanied at all times by a paying adult. Lifejackets are provided and swimming ability is not necessary. Expert trainers guide your experience and assure the safety of you and the dolphins.

Dolphin Experiences take place four times each day at 9 am, 10:30 am, noon and 1:30 pm. Whether you partake or just watch, this experience is simply fascinating and something your family won’t want to miss!

Here are a few photos of a group who recently participated in our Delphinus Dolphin Experience.

Actress Grettell Valdez Visits Dreams Cancun

We recently had two very special visitors at Dreams Cancun Resort & Spa. As reported by Cancun Today, Mexican actress, Grettell Valdez, and her young son, traveled to Dreams Cancun to enjoy a fun-filled vacation.

Aside from relaxing and enjoying the beautiful weather, Grettell and her son also swam with the dolphins at Delphinus Dreams Cancun during their stay. Initially, Grettell’s son was a bit hesitant around the dolphins, but after a few minutes he realized that they were calm and gentle so he began to play with them. In Grettell’s opinion, it was important for her son to experience these creatures so he could learn to appreciate and respect them.

Grettell enjoyed her time swimming with the dolphins and as you can see from this picture below, they really seemed to like her too!
