Swim in Cenotes at Dreams Riviera Cancun!

There are many exciting excursions and day trips that guests can take from Dreams Riviera Cancun Resort & Spa. For those looking for an unforgettable outdoor adventure, cenotes are the perfect place to go! Cenotes are natural pits or sinkholes that form when limestone bedrock collapses to expose the groundwater underneath. These magnificent underwater caves are truly a sight to behold and even more incredible to experience from the inside!

You'll never forget the experience of swimming in a cenote during your stay at Dreams Riviera Cancun Resort & Spa!

You’ll never forget the experience of swimming in a cenote during your stay at Dreams Riviera Cancun Resort & Spa!

Ancient Mayans created wells to use cenotes as their main water supply and also believed the pools were gateways to the afterlife; they would frequently throw valuables and even sacrificial offerings in to the cenotes. When you visit a cenote, you’re swimming with history and in a place of incredible beauty. Dreams Riviera Cancun Resort & Spa has multiple cenotes within an hour of the property! To set up your adventure, email our concierge at info.drerc@dreamsresorts.com or visit the concierge desk at the beginning of your stay!

7 Bays Tour in Huatulco

If you are planning a trip to Dreams Huatulco Resort & Spa, there are a number of exciting excursions and sights for you to consider. Of course we offer wide range of activities and entertainment at our resort as part of our Unlimited-Luxury© privileges, but if you are looking to explore some of the local sites in Huatulco, we’d recommend trying the 7 Bays Tour through Amstar.

Explore the beautiful bays along Huatulco’s coastline aboard a comfortable catamaran cruiser. Relax with cool refreshing cocktails and beverages from the open bar as your cruise host offers interesting details about the geography, flora and fauna of the region, all with the Sierra Madre Mountains as a spectacular backdrop.

The catamaran will make a stop at San Agustin, one of the most captivating spots along the coast to relax in the calm waters, bask in the sun or snorkel some of the reef formations nearby.  Then the catamaran will sail on to Maguey’s Bay, another gorgeous spot where you can lay out on the fine, white sand shores and float serenely over tranquil waves.  Quaint, picturesque beach-front restaurants line the shore where you can enjoy a tasty lunch – seafood is the obvious specialty — and ice cold cervezas.  

This tour will provide one of the most enjoyable, relaxing days you’ll have in Huatulco. Stop by the Amstar desk at Dreams Huatulco to book your 7 Bays Tour excursion today!
