Review from Danny Bonaduce

picApple Vacations is always happy to host our radio station friends on great Apple Vacations. Danny Bonaduce from CBS Radio just got back from Dreams Tulum and here are some of his vacation photos & what he had to say:

In the last year, I have been fortunate enough to travel to Punta Cana in The Dominican Republic, Montego Bay, Jamaica, and Tulum, Mexico through Apple Vacations. Everything was perfect. I would never travel through anyone else.

When you get off a plane in a foreign country, things can get a little confusing. But, the second you see the flowered shirts from Apple Vacations, you know you’re in good hands. I have been on more than a dozen Apple Vacations. Everything has worked out so well that I actually let Apple pick my last three destinations. They were right every time!

Dreams Tulum Resort & Spa

I received another review from Apple Vacations’ Erin Miller who is currently in Riviera Maya! Stayed tuned all weekend long for up to date info one each of the hotels.

Hello from Dreams Tulum Resort & Spa! This is a 6 Golden Apple Resort. This property is located right in Tulum, so it is about a 75-minute drive from Cancun Airport. But remember, Apple Vacations offers non-stop transfers to Dreams Tulum and all Zoetry, Secrets, Dreams & Now Resorts in Riviera Maya & Cancun. This hotel is a great choice if you plan to visit The Mayan Ruins in Tulum and also Xcaret park, as it is very close.

One of the best things I like most about this property is how nice the beach is! You can walk for miles down the beach and will not see another resort, they are the last resort in Riviera Maya! The beach is beautiful as well with soft white sand and calm blue water! Dreams Tulum offers 2 styles of rooms throughout the property, the Premium Suites which are in the newer buildings. These suites are only about 2 years old. They also offer the Hacienda Section which is the older but renovated section, and the style of these rooms is a more Mexican Hacienda feeling. Another good feature of this resort is  they actually have a wedding chapel on site. The chapel is very charming with lots of wood, a very Mexican feeling, and perfect for a destination wedding!

Are you ready for some football?

090825_football1I am an avid sports fan. The Phillies and Eagles are at the top of my list. I always saw ads for “Superbowl on the beach” or watch “the game” from the beach … but never until I experienced it did I realize how much fun it is!

Many of the resorts show the night time NFL (NBA etc…) games ON THE BEACH! Dreams is where I stayed to experience this. I have done it at both Dreams Tulum and Dreams Cancun, although the major sporting events they show at all The Dreams Resorts. Continue reading

A Fam Experience to Remember

Playa del Carmen

It’s hot and humid – summertime in Mexico. Riviera Maya greeted our group of Apple Vacations’ employees with a wealth of sunshine as we began our three-day Fam (familiarization) Trip, on-the-job training to gain personal experience of the destinations and resorts our company sells. This knowledge means we can help identify the right resort for every customer.

During the Fam Trip, twelve employees from our Chicago and Philadelphia offices participated in pre-arranged site inspections at various resorts. Sometimes an excursion will be on the itinerary, as well as scheduled dinners. Excursions are just as important for us to experience as the site inspections – it gives employees the opportunity to experience a destination and culture off resort.

On our itinerary this time, we have one scheduled excursion to Playa del Carmen, and one scheduled dinner at our host resort- Secrets Maroma. Before checking in, we have a site inspection at Barcelo Costa Cancun followed by Dreams Cancun. Both impress our staff for their value, location, and the buzz of activity that is apparent everywhere in Cancun. Continue reading

Kids Getaway at The Explorers Club

090707_explorer21Traveling to Dreams Tulum, I had my first experience using a kids club at a resort. I had not planned to do it, and thought we’d continue with our family togetherness vacations that had worked well in the past.

When we arrived at Dreams Tulum, we had lunch at Seaside Grill and then headed for the pool. For a family resort, I wondered where all the kids were. I soon found out they were in camp. How horrible of these parents to come to this beautiful resort and stick their kids in camp! I would soon eat those words. Continue reading
