Located close to Cancun. Isla Mujeres is an easy destination to reach but will quickly make you feel like you’re worlds away. Without all the hustle and bustle of Cancun, what once was a small fishing village, Isla Mujeres still hold its Mexican charm and warmth with an inviting atmosphere. Isls Mujeres (Island of Women) is located close to one of the many coral reefs. The area is popular for its snorkeling and scuba diving. The small town has excellent shopping, great restaurants and fantastic beaches. I was able to visit Isla Mujeres while staying in Playa.

Our group booked an excursion (Royal Garrafon) which included swimming with dolphins, snorkeling above the great mayan reef, zip lining over the Caribbean, shopping in town and most important all meals and drinks. The majority of the transportation consist of golf-carts, scooters/mopeds, small motorcycles and a few cars and trucks. Isla Mujeres is a lot more laid back than Cancun, but there are still a lot of options. Our most popular resort there is the Excellence Playa Mujeres which is a luxury 5 Star Adult Only all inclusive resort. From small, laid back bars to clubs that go late into the night you can find what you want.

One of the most frequently asked questions when traveling to an all inclusive resort is “Do I have to tip the resort employees?”  The simple answer is this, you can if you’d like to but it isn’t a requirement.  Generally tipping your maids and s...

One of my favorite things about Negril, Jamaica is the sunset you can count on each evening – truly spectacular!  We offer many all inclusive resorts within Negril Jamaica such as the Riu Palace Tropical Bay, Beachs Negril, Couples Swept Away as well ...

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!
