Personally, when I travel I like to stay in the nicest accommodations with one of the hotel’s best rooms.  Unfortunately, you may feel that the budget will not allow an upgraded room category.

Well I am here to show you that this misconception can prevent you from having one of the most memorable vacations of your life!

Lets start with the most common room categories.  Most hotels offer standard rooms, junior suites, suites, and even larger rooms.  Along with these rooms come with different views such as garden view, partial ocean view, ocean view, and ocean front.

One of my favorite hotel’s is the Dreams Cancun!  You really need to check this place out!  They are within walking distance to shopping and the bars downtown and they also have their own dolphinarium!  They offer so many room categories it is unbelievable!  Here are some examples:  1BR Master Suite, 1BR Honeymoon Suite, Club Level Junior Suite w/ Jacuzzi, Deluxe Club Ocean Front, Deluxe Dolphin Front Ocean View, Deluxe Dolphin Front, and Pyramid Presidential Suite!  What options!

If you book well in advance you can get some pretty awesome rates!  Upgrades at this resort begin around $50 per person.  What would make your children happier than to wake up every morning to dolphins swimming outside of your room?  Or even relaxing every evening on your balcony watching the waves splash into the sand?

Sometime spending a few extra hundred dollars can make all the difference in the world.  So trust me on this one.  Call Dream Vacations today and check into an upgraded room category.  I promise you won’t be disappointed!

As all of us know already, tax refund time is right around the corner.  As a mother of two, the first thing I think of is paying off all my debt.  Then I would stash some in savings and spend a little bit on myself.

A great idea for those who have already starting booking their next vacation or for those who are just beginning, refunds are a great opportunity to get those vacations paid in full.  Maybe even upgrade your room category if your vacation is already paid in full.

As a lot of you know already, the sooner you book the better rate you will receive.  We do also offer options when booking that does not require the full balance of the vacation up front, just a minimal deposit.  Then the remainder of the balance would be due 45 days prior to travel.

Another great idea for the last minute travelers without their passports, go apply and get them expedited for a minimal fee.

A lot of people are already booking their spring break vacations and availability is limited, so don’t feel that waiting last minute is going to get you a better rate.  Very rarely you will find last minute deals.  You will actually find that if you would have booked them sooner, with just that minimal deposit, you could have saved hundreds!

Call us today and get that deposit made to secure the lowest rate possible and then pay the balance when your refund arrives!

I had a great trip to the Gran Bahia Principe Tulum.  The Bahia is part of a multiple hotel complex in Tulum in the Mexican Riviera Maya.  The Gran Bahia Akumal and the Gran Bahia Coba are the other 2 hotels on the complex and you can utlilize the other hotels.  It is just over an hour from the airport.

The rooms and suites are distributed throughout 3-story villas surrounded by acres of tropical coconut palms and exotic vegetation.  All the rooms have a balcony and we did have an ocean view.  They do not list any of their rooms as having an ocean view but our villa had a great view.  The pools are huge and feature a great swim up bar.

The beach is a bit rocky (coral) in some places but it made for great snorkeling.  The evening entertainment was the best I had seen in a family friendly all inclusive.  At the entrance of the complex is a small shopping center for souvenirs and any essentials you may have forgot.

I really enjoyed the food.  I thought all the ala carte restaurants and the buffets were super.  The service at the Lobby Bar was awesome and each bartender treated us as if we were the only guests in the bar.  This hotel also seems to be the best prepared for bad weather with Hurricane doors on the rooms.  I was actually here post hurricane and they moved several hundred guests to the Bahia from other hotels.  The hotel still did not miss a beat and continued to provide an amazing service level.  If your looking for an affordable hotel that outperforms you need to experience The Gran Bahia hotels in Tulum, Riviera Maya.
