Dreams Vista Cancun Golf & Spa Resort - Best way to avoid the tourist traps?
I'm heading to Dreams Vista Cancun Golf & Spa Resort next month. Heard it's gorgeous, but also that the area's kinda overrun with touristy stuff. I'm trying to experience more of the *real* Cancun,… more
Rent a car. Seriously. The bus system is… adequate, but having a car gives you so much more freedom to explore beyond the hotel zone. Head south towards Puerto Morelos – it's quieter, more authentic, and has some amazing seafood restaurants. Avoid the big, flashy places on the main tourist strips. Look for smaller, family-run places; you'll find much better food and prices. Plus, you can easily drive to some smaller Mayan ruins that aren't as overrun as Chichen Itza. Even a short trip inland will show you a different side of the Yucatan peninsula than the resort area. It's easy to get caught up in the resort bubble, but a bit of effort to get outside of it will be totally worth it.
That's great advice! I was worried about getting stuck in the resort, you know? Didn't want to spend the whole trip just at the pool. Puerto Morelos sounds perfect – quieter and better food? Sold. Any recommendations for specific restaurants down there? Also, what about driving – is it easy enough, or should I be prepared for crazy drivers? I'm not exactly a seasoned international driver...
Dreams Vista Cancun Golf & Spa Resort
So, I'm heading to Dreams Vista Cancun Golf & Spa Resort next month. I've heard the spa is amazing, but I'm a total klutz. Any tips on avoiding a full-body cast while enjoying the hydrotherapy treat… more
Relax! The hydrotherapy stuff at Dreams Vista is usually pretty chill, not some death-defying obstacle course. They're geared towards relaxation, not breaking bones. Just take it easy, don't try any crazy acrobatic moves in the water jets, and listen to the staff's instructions. You'll be fine. Seriously, protective gear is overkill. Unless you're planning on doing cannonballs off the hot tub... then maybe... but even then, I doubt it.
