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!
My husband and I recently returned from the Zoetry Casa Del Mar Los Cabos on our Valentines Anniversary trip. This is one of THE BEST all-inclusive resorts we’ve ever enjoyed and we’ve been to a lot of them. My favorite thing about this resort is what they call the “Beach Club”. Directly on the beach, there is a heated pool with swim up bar, a hot tub, a restaurant, comfortable lounge chairs on the sand or by the pool, with umbrellas, plush towels and the best service we’ve ever experienced. There were plenty of wonderful and friendly attendants to bring drinks, a cold bottle of water, a fresh towel, whatever you needed. Talk about relaxing!! The sight and sound of the waves, the pelicans diving for a fish, and best of all whales playing just off the shore line! This is my favorite destination in Mexico and now Zoetry Cabo is one of my favorite resorts anywhere!

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!
On October 12th – October 15th Apple Vacations hosted their annual Crystal Agency Retreat in the Riviera Maya Mexico at the Secrets Silversands Resort. I personally had the pleasure of traveling on this vacation with my wife and let me tell you, we had a great time! First of all, the Crystal Agency Retreat is a once a year special occasion trip that Apple Vacations provides to their nationwide top travel agencies. As Apple Vacations number one booking agency in the entire US, Dream Vacations is what Apple calls their “National Crystal Agency.”
On the day of arrival, we were able to have a private check-in at Preferred Club lobby and shortly after that we were taken to our Preferred Club Junior Suite with an Ocean View. The rooms at the Secrets Silversands are amazing, very large, soft beds, mini bar, jacuzzi, double sinks, walk in shower, big balconies, very nice rooms. On our first night of the trip we had a quick meet and greet with a cocktail hour to meet a few of the other agency owners. We then went to dinner with some of Apple Vacations high level officials to discuss a little business as well as enjoy and fantastic meal at the Portofino Italian Restaurant.
The weather during our trip was rather rainy so some of the excursions that Apple Vacations had planned for us were cancelled or postponed so my wife and enjoyed our lazy day in the property. We ordered room service, took a nice nap on the balcony of our room with the sound of the waves crashes to the beach. Very relaxing day. Our second nights dinner was hosted at the Secrets Capri resort just a few miles down the road from the Secrets Silversands. The night started with another meet and greet period followed by an amazing fire show along with all the lobster tail and rack of lamb one could imagine. We had dinner with the GM of a few resorts in the area such as the Secrets Capri GM (Christopher) as well as other Apple Vacations officials. This night was a great time, very laid back and enjoyable.
Our third and final day was another lazy day for my wife and I with all of the rain and wind going on. We decided to go down to the spa for relaxing couples massage at the Secrets Silversands incredible spa! Our farewell dinner was planned for 8 pm that night which was another amazing dinner and show. Before dinner started, we were entertained with a little vegas style show and during dinner there was an amazing violin player walking around the room playing beautiful melodies while we ate. I had the privlege of sitting with Gino (GM of Secrets Maroma) as well as the Co-President and CEO of Apple Vacations. The night ending with dancing and drinks in the lobby bar as well as a nice Cuban cigar. After meeting all of the hotel representatives as well as the Apple Vacations representatives, our trip was a great success.
Thank you to Apple Vacations, AMResorts and Amstar for all of the hard work you put into making this trip a memorable and enjoyable vacation. I look forward to seeing all of you again next year and Dream Vacations looks forward to being the National Crystal Agency for Apple Vacations for many years to come!
