Family Travel Guide Tulum Mexico May 29, 2019 Tulum
What a great way to start the summer! The kids, mom and I all headed to Tulum at the beginning of May and had such a wonderful time. It was my first time actually staying in Mexico, and Tulum specifically did not disappoint.
Where to stay:
Dreams Tulum! This was my first time with this hospitality brand and we had a fantastic time. I was blown away by their customer service. They made sure we had everything we needed at all times. The servers at the beach learned the kids names and their favorite food and always had a snack or drink waiting for them. Same can be said for the bartenders- mom and I were never without a beverage of some sort. Don’t worry, we had plenty of water ;). We did upgrade to the swim up room- which the kids absolutely loved. I think we could’ve stayed at that pool all day and they would’ve been happy. The beds were comfortable and clean, and we had snacks and a full fridge every time we came back to the room.
What To Eat
At every restaurant on property. Seriously try them all. The food was great from the bar to the Mexican restaurant, to the hibachi restaurant (Henley’s favorite!). A little secret- El Patio is not busy from about 10-11 if you want a late breakfast or early lunch! Also make sure to get the fresh guac and ceviche at the Barefoot Grille. It’s right next to the main pool and serves the freshest in the resort.
What To Do:
I can honestly say you can stay on the resort and you will have PLENTY to do. There is a kids club, arcade, 3 pools, the beach, activities all day for both adults and kids, snorkeling, scuba, sailing etc. Hudson loved the kids pool the best, while Henley enjoyed the hammocks on the beach. If you’re a big history nerd I would venture off and do the Mayan ruins. You can book it through the hotel!
It looks like you had an amazing time! Your pictures are beautiful. This reminds me of the 25th Anniversary trip we took in January to Isla Mujeres. I think it’s close by.
I’ve never been to Mexico with my kids but you’ve made it look so fun – now I want to!!
What a beautiful place! This would make a great destination fora honeymoon
What a gorgeous vacation spot! I’ll definitely put it on my bucket list!

Wow ! Just wow ! I’m going to have to plan a trip now.
Wow I love the recount of your trip and all the photos! The Dreams brand is amazing, we stayed at Dreams Riviera Maya when we got married and I wouldn’t hesitate to stay with them again! Mexico is an amazing place to learn more about culture, history and just enjoy the scenery!
I haven’t been in Tulum, Mexico. It seems like a paradise for me! I hope I can visit soon.
Tulum has been on my bucket list for some time now. The hubby and I are huge history nerds, and the Mayan ruins are just simply incredible. The hotel looks so beautiful and…your bathing suit is gorgeous! I need to get myself on vacation ASAP. Thanks for sharing!
Never been to Mexico, but seeing the time you had with your kids makes me want to bring mine!

I stayed at a Dreams resort in Cancun a couple of years back and loved it! You vacation style is so cute-love that layered look!
Appreciate the info. We were thinking of this specific resort (We’ve bern to Secrets, their sister company) before, but want to bring our daughter this time. Glad to hear you utilized the kids club, because we plan too if we go. 😀
I’ve never been to Mexico but judging from the photos, it’s a beautiful place to be. I’ll like to visit. And thanks for sharing this with us.
