This post brought to you by Dreams Resorts & Spas. All opinions are 100% mine.
I live in one of the areas affected by the strange “polar vortex.” If you haven’t heard of it, basically it means that I am experiencing weather so cold that even the schools are shutting down because it’s just not safe for anyone to be outside. So of course, I spend a lot of time dreaming about getting away to someplace much warmer! After seeing all Dreams Resorts & Spas has to offer, now I’m dreaming of heading to one of their locations!

Dreams Resorts & Spas Luxurious Locations
Dreaming of getting away for to one of Dreams Resorts & Spas All-inclusive luxury resort locations? Take a look at your options. Read carefully, because I’m going to need your help in a few minutes!
Punta Cana, Dominican Republic
Head to this secluded lush tropical paradise and take a float down one of the largest free-form swimming pools in the entire Dominican Republic! Always wanted to learn how to dance merengue or bachata? Now’s your chance with lessons on the beach! Spend your days horseback riding and your nights trying your luck at the casino.
Riviera Cancun, Mexico
Dreaming of Mexico? Head to the Dreams Riviera Cancun Resort & Spa in Riviera Cancun, just a short drive from Cancun! The whole family will love the playground on the beach, heated pool and pyramid-shaped climbing wall. Spend some quality time together at the weekly beach party! If you love golf, this is definitely the vacation for you because you’ll enjoy complimentary green fees for Grand Coral Rivieria Maya, designed by PGA Champion Nick Price. This is definitely my pick for families.
Riviera Maya, Mexico
It’s so hard to choose a favorite, but if I had a chance to take a trip, I’d go with Dreams Puerto Aventuras Resort & Spa! The on-site Dolphinarium with live dolphin shows pretty much sealed it for me. I also think it would be fun to participate in the Largest Taco event, where guests line up to fill and enjoy a massive taco! If you love creating delicious food, you’ll enjoy the cake decorating and organic cooking classes. Then again, the other two choices are also so enticing! Honestly, I just can’t choose!

I would choose the Riviera Maya, Mexico vacation. It looks like a great resort.
I would choose the Punta Cana Resort & Spa vacation, I would love to go there and I hope you win the vacation :)
I choose Riviera Cancun, Mexico!
With having such a long winter ANY of these beautiful resorts would be a DREAM. If I were to choose one it would be Cancun. Looks absolutely gorgeous!! Best of luck to you, I hope you win!
All the resorts look amazing. I don’t think you could pick a bad one. Would love to visit all of them.
the DR for me!
Well I would definitely love to go to the Dominican Republic as i have already visited Cancun in the last year and as lovely as it was I am interested in visiting someplace new next time around and the water looks lovely as well as the resort.
I have been to Dreams Punta Cana and Dreams Puerto Adventuras, and we are just heading to Dreams Riviera Cancun here next week! I’m so excited to get out of this -40 weather!! I am a little biased, but I LOVED the Dreams Punta Cana resort the most. The staff are amazing (as they are at all the Dreams we’ve been to), the pool was fantastic, the beach was lovely, the spa was totally amazing and best of all we were married there so it definitely holds a special place in my heart! Either way, you can’t go wrong!
I think Dreams Puerto Aventuras is a great choice. I’ve been there with my husband and we had an amazing time. We loved the food and the beach was so relaxing. For myself, I would choose Dreams Riviera Cancun because it is a part of the Riviera Maya we haven’t spent any time at yet, and I know any Dreams Resort will be fabulous.
I would choose any of them they are all fabulous and winning something like this I would not be picky… They are sooo amazing!
I would go to Dreams Riviera Cancun
I’d go to dreams Puerto Aventuras and enjoy the Caribbean waters!
I would love Punta Cana, Dominican Republic! I love the look of it and I love to swim.

Punta Cana, Dominican Republic and enjoying the casino sounds awesome!
Riviera Mexico looks like a fantastic place to go to. I’ve never been to any warm-weather place for vacation.
Dreams Riviera Maya looks like a fabulous place to escape this ugly winter, doesn’t it?
Any of these places would be amazing. I’ve never been to an island before!
we honeymooned in aruba. it was nice, but the trade winds are real!
My hubby and I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to go to Dreams Puerto Aventuras Resort & Spa! I;m with you, relax and spend time with the dolphins sounds like the best to me!
It would be so nice to visit there.
The resort in the Dominican Republic sounds like a nice resort to relax at and have a good time.
beautiful places , if I ever had the chance I would choose Dominican
i have been to the Riviera Maya in Mexico years ago for my kid Brother’s wedding i enjoyed myself ieven got sencond/third dregree sunburns but i still had fun and would still go back it was a great getaway a a lovely wedding the had it on the beach but now the are divorced after 6 years but he’s getting married again so maybe we will back down there again for another wedding who knows lol
We would choose the Riviera Maya location – looks awesome
i have been to Punta Cana Dominican Republic several times and would go back i loved it there i stayed at the Jack Tar Village once then an indpendant place and with friends on the island and i enjoyed myself each time i was there my friend is from there
I’d choose the Riviera Maya vacation. Wow it would be so great to get away!
I’d pick Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, it just looks gorgeous!
I would choose Riviera Cancun because ive never been there!
I think I’d choose Punta Cana, Dominican Republic but anywhere with a beach and a palm tree sounds really good to me right now.
I would love to go almost anywhere where there is lots of warm sunshine and great food!
i would choose Dominican
I’d choose Punta Cana, D.R. – I’ve never been. Looks lovely for a vacation.
Cheers.
Looks lovely! I’ve been to Mexico before and it was great. I think I’d be a little leery about going back with all the scary things you hear, but would love a vacation all the same :)
They all look awesome. I think I’d choose the Riviera Maya, Mexico. I’d love to be there, away from all this snow.
Riviera Maya looks so wonderful and what a great post really enjoyed it thanks
that is right, it’s a dream vacation because all I can do is DREAM about it; not getting there
anytime soon. Sounds fab though
I want to go to Punta Cana,,or I would actually want to go to any of those places!!! Take me awayyy!!
I would go with the Punta Cana, Dominican Republic trip as after speaking to coworkers and friends that travel, its a much more tourist-friendly locale than Mexico. Safer, less corruption, and less greed.
I have never been to Mexico but love Dreams Riviera Cancun
I’d love to go to Riviera Cancun, Mexico! It looks amazing!
I would love to win a trip to the Mayan Riviera
I would love to introduce you to Dream Puerto Aventuras Mexico, in the Rivera Maya Region. The town itself is a gated community with everything you want to do within walking distance. They have a dolphinarium right there. I sit and watch them play at night from my balcony window, or better yet go do the swim with the dolphins. If swimming is what you like they have great pools and ocean well let me tell you the water is the best and the white sand beach is amazing. You have water sports right there.
The food is to die for never a bad meal and room service too. ALL INCLUDED IN YOU ONE PRICE.. I have visited other am resorts but this one is my favorite so Lets get out of the snow and Travel..
Punta Cana, went there many many years ago, i wonder if it has changed?
All of these resorts look and sound so nice. I’d love to go to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic so I’dhave to pick that resort!
Been to Dreams PV and loved it, would love to go back or try a different one.
Would love to get out of this cold and snow!
i have been to Punt Cana twice once in 2003/2005 i stayed at Jack Tar’s Village , and an independant place and i love the island in itself Dominican has a lot to share and i have friends who live there
ahh heaven!
Mexico scares me.
I love it
Is amazing i want on la romana
I would choose the Dreams Resort in Tulum.
Wow! I think i would want to go to the Riviera Cancun, Mexico
I’d love to go to Dominican Republic!
Wow, they all look great! I think I like the sound of Punta Cana the best.
They all look like a great place to stay! I could definitely use a vacation from all this snow and ice.
Lovely pictures, best of luck
We have booked a Rivera Maya vacation for the first of June, and yes it’s because of this horrible weather that prompted us to do it!
I could really use a vacation about now. I’d love to escape this cold and go anywhere warm!
I could definitely use a vacation right now. This sounds like just the ticket! We have a foot of snow outside!
This looks so nice. We got 13″ of snow today.
Same here! Maybe more by the time all was said and done.
Riviera Maya, Mexico would my top choice. I just visited Punta Cana DR.
This looks amazing. With more snow on the way, it’s exactly what I need! I’d love to go to Cancun.
I could use some suns and sand right now… Nothing beats a vacation in great weather.. Me? Dealing with 12 inches of snow outside.
I would love to go here for a vacation, it has been just an awful winter here in Northern Illinois, way too much snow and below zero days for sure.
Totally need a vacation to somewhere warm!
I love to travel and I have never been to a Dream Resort. I would love to visit the property in the DR.
It would be really hard to choose between those resorts! I want to go to a dive resort on our next trip and get in lots of beach time.
I would chose the Dreams Punta Cana Resort in the Dominican Republic
My bags are packed. I’m ready…any sound great! We went to Mexico for our honeymoon 10 years ago. I’m ready to go back!
For our 25th anniversary we went to a resort for the first time and chose Dreams Puerto Aventuras it was a great choice, the resort was small, the people were wonderful and service was more than we expected. We loved the view from our room and the beach. On our way home we decided to save all year and go away the next year. Our next vacation was Dreams Punta Cana Dominican Republic as we were hoping the resort was wonderful, good service great food. The beach was breath taking and you could walk along the beach for miles with no developement, only we found the boats came in close and fast on the beach. So once home we saved and this christmas we took our adult children to Dreams La Romana DR. The resort was great, great food, service the beach was different not the same pretty sand you could walk along with out development but you could snorkel out safely for quite the distance. They did a fabulous christmas events and gave the children a gift from santa it was very impressive. We are now saving to go to Dreams Costa Rica or Dreams Tullum next year. We save all year for that week at Dreams and think it is worth it every time.
You are making me want a vacation really bad! I haven’t been to any all inclusive resorts, but would love to go!
I would probably choose either Punta Cana or Puerto Adventures…only because of the tropical lush look of those places. Of course…any place that takes care of you the way an all inclusive would is wonderful! It would be a REAL vacation! That means…no cooking, no cleaning, no laundry….Only pampering…and well deserved I’m sure! And if you do bring children, the resort will watch them for a while if you need some getaway time to catch some sun or just explore the grounds of the resort. All I know is I would go where the relaxation takes me! Good luck…I hope you win so you can get pampered in paradise!
These warm locations look amazing! We’re covered in snow and ice and I would take a trip anywhere right now.
You can’t go wrong with a Dreams Resort! They all look beautiful but Punta Cana looks beautiful with the tropical trees and all.
Cancun is where I want to take my family! Warm, tropical sun and crystal, clear blue waters! Let’s pack up and go now!
I would love to go to the Dominican republic. so beautiful, and so much closer than other tropical getaways to ct!
Sign me up for Mexico! We did a cruise to two ports in Mexico and had a BLAST!
We took our two boys – 4 and 7 to the Dreams Riviera Cancun and it was amazing! Since then, my husband and I have visited their sister resort for adults only in Hualtulco – also unbelievable. The service, food, rooms, and cleanliness of these resorts are top notch. The kids clubs are far above other resorts with the staff First aid and CPR trained and the club strategically set mid-resort you will feel so comfortable leaving them there. This year we are looking at the Dreams La Romana or Hualtulco to go as a family. Go to Dreams Riviera Cancun – you will love it! Wherever you decide, with this chain of resorts, you can’t lose! Enjoy!
All this cold weather has me dreaming of a getaway! This looks beautiful and warm!
Any of those gorgeous places sound great just about now! I am so over winter and ready for some sun!
So tired of the -20 and -30 degree weather, I need something warm- a Dreams vacation would certainly fit in that category
We LOVE your pick of Dreams Puerto Adventuras!!!! It’s an amazing place that we would love to return to! The staff are amazing and the location is great! Sure hope you win – we would love to join you in the DREAM!
I would love to go on a vacation to Punta Cana again! Good luck on winning, I hope you win so I have a shot at winning too!
I’ve heard a lot about the Dreams resort. An all inclusive is the way to go. It takes the worry out.
Unlimited-Luxury®!! What a paradise this must be!
I would love to take a trip anywhere at this point, all the snow on the ground is so tiring. Good luck on winning the trip!
Dreams is nice. We stayed at the Cancun one on our honeymoon and it was beautiful!
Dolphinarium. Enough said.
Love punta cana !!!!!! Soooo beautifull..
Do I HAVE to choose? I suppose if I have to it would be the Riviera Maya
Would love to travel to Dreams Riviera Cancun – Paradise!
Wow, they all look so amazing. I would love to be able to go to a resort. I have always wanted to see Cancun….
Choose Dreams Tulum!!! They have a scuba diving shack right on their beach and the staff was wonderful and took the time to remember your name! I would go back in a heartbeat!!
How do you plan to choose which commenter gets to go if you win? :)
Cancun or Punta Cana please!
I share in your warm destination day dreams. My sister lives in Tampa.. we are in the 20’s and she’s burning up high 70’s -80’s.. Boo hoo on her! LOL I’d love to visit a beautiful resort like Dream Resorts!
I could certainly use somewhere warm right now! As I’m sitting here working online and staring out the window where the snow is piling up!! Looks amazing!
That looks like a little slice of heaven, right now. Our forecast is snow, snow, and more snow! I’d love to go on a dream vacation. But, to be realistic, I’m just happy to be moving out of the Midwest for California! Ahhh SUN! ;)
That place looks so nice right now. Can I go today so I miss this foot of snow coming tomorrow? :P
I just want to go somewhere warm! lol. I don’t really care where right now because it’s so cold right now!
I would love to go to Mexico. We’re expected to get up to 10 inches of snow today, so I’m game for anywhere sunny and that involves blue water. :)
Beautiful resorts. I’ve always wanted to go to Mexico so I think I would pick that resort.
I can’t believe all of the blue in these pictures! They look so relaxing. As I sit here with snow pouring down outside, I can live vicariously through your photos.
I’ve not heard of the Dreams Resorts & Spas. A trip to Riviera Maya is now on my bucket list.
I’d choose the Riviera Maya — good luck!
Wow these destinations look amazing! These pictures have me craving warmer weather!
Riviera Maya location for me
Beautiful… can I go… can I afford it!
I have always wanted to visit Cancun! Good luck! These resorts look amazing!
They all look amazing!! Hard to choose.
I would love the Punta Cana stay!
I would choose Riviera Cancun, Mexico. So many beautiful looking resorts. I am dreaming.
Beautiful resorts! I would love to choose Riviera Cancun, Mexico!
Looks like a very nice destination.
I think with the winter we’ve all been having that I trip down south is what everyone is yearning for!
Both options look fab! You really couldn’t make a wrong choice.
Maya beach looks gorgeous!

Punta Cana, Dominican Republic
I have never been to Mexico, but I would love to go, those pics above look so inviting. Wish I could go with u, Good Luck!
Dreams locations are gorgeous ! I am drooling right now after a tough year and long winter still going on I want to jump right on the page and lay on the beach and just listen to the ocean!
This looks like a fab resort. I could do with going somewhere warm. Instead I’m about to head out for a half hour walk in -20C weather. Hurrah.
any vacation would be a welcome break from the big freeze
I’ve never been to the Dominican Republic. Punta Cana looks beautiful and horseback riding on the beach would be so much fun
I would love to go to Riviera Maya, Mexico
I would choose the Riviera Maya location.
I’d choose Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. Looks warm and relaxing.
Riviera Maya location would be wonderful!
Wow either would be amazing!
I would choose the Punta Cana, Dominican Republic location. Looks amazing!
These are beautiful and any one of them would be amazing.
To be there with a Margarita in hand.
I think Riviera Cancun is the best one on the list :)
I would so love to go to a place like this. Please take me away to Riviera Maya, Mexico!
Wish I was there now!
Any sound amazing! Hubby doesnt travel well though :(
Cancun Mexico
UGH! Someday maybe Ill be able to go to a beautiful place like that!
Honestly, I’d be happy to have the chance to go to any one of these. Just to get away from Old Man Winter would be fantastic right about now. I’ve been to the Dominican and loved it. All the resorts looks so beautiful. Good luck OFW!
I would love to go to Riviera Maya, Mexico
I think Dreams Riviera Cancun Resort & Spa looks like a beautiful resort! Good luck to you!
see…I’m so delirious from the cold winter, I’ve chosen the wrong destination! My brain is frozen!!! CANCUN!!!!
I would tell my healthcare job I’d be back in a bit, talk my parents into keeping our 3 kids, and Chad and I would bolt to Tulum. Ready!!
I wiuld love to go to the Riviera Cancun. I live Nexico. And that picture is beautiful!!! I am getting tired of the cold as well!!!
I would choose Punta Cana, Dominican Republic! My best friend went there and loved it. The photos she took there look amazing…breathtaking!
AHHHH this would be awesome to hang out at now.. It’s fairly warm in Florida but It looks soo relaxing there and I wish I could visit, always wanted to go to the dominican republic..thanks for sharing
Good luck!! I still chose the Riviera Maya location! I need to warm up!
Looks like amazing places to visit, never been to any of them. Punta Cana, Dominican Republic is the first choice in my dreams.
Of course I live in the one province that doesnt get to participate *sigh* lol I would have loved to win a trip like that. Love that they have supervised activities for kids free of charge!! Good luck, I hope you do win!
Oh, I would go anywhere! I’m in desperate need of a vaca!
I would choose Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. I so need a vacation right now
gorgeous resorts i would love to visit them all and just sit by the pool reading
I so need to go on vacation! I would be chilling by the pool sipping fruity drinks.
I also live in an are being effected by the Polar Vortex. People in the south just don’t understand! haha I’d love to take a beach vacation right about now. The snow in my backyard is so bright it is blinding me. Maybe I can throw some sunglasses on and fool myself?
THIS is what I need. A gorgeous, relaxing hotel with pool.. away from routine and work and stress. My boyfriend and I want to book something like this asap!
Looks like a very awesome place to visit for vacation. I LOVE the beach
This looks like such a beautiful vacation location. I would love to escape there from all the snow here in NYC.
I would really choose anything warm right now! I do love the idea of the Dominican Republic though.
Would love to escape to Punta Cana! What a wonderful place!! Shared via Google Plus.
Oh Boy! What I wouldn’t give to go off on one of those tropical vacations. I think I’d go to Cancun
If it were me – definitely going to Puerto! Just perfect!
Being military I won’t be able to go to Mexico no matter how awesome it looks but the Dominican Republic is a whole other story. That photo is simply amazing and I just may have to book a trip there one day and find out what I’ve been missing. That really does look like your dream resort right there.
I’m pretty sure any of those places would work for me!
We are in the process of moving several states away, you have no idea how much I would love to win a trip to here and disappear and forget it all.
I would choose Riviera Cancun or Riviera Maya, although I would love to go to any resort.
With all the snow and cold weather we are having here in Pennsylvania, I need to book a vacation at the Dreams Resorts & Spas. We are getting more snow tomorrow night
We are planning a month in Spain in April this year. Can’t wait. I have always wanted to go the the Mayan Riveria
A dream vacation! I’d be happy to take any vacation right now!
WOW what a beautiful looking resort I could definitely picture myself escaping there! x
I would love to “escape” to any of those beautiful places!
After reading this post… I want nothing more than to be on a beach, laying in the sun, sipping on a cocktail :)
I would totally go to Cancun. I have never been and would love to take my family there.
Can I magically be teleported there right now? We are getting a lot more snow dumped on us today. I want to be at a sap and resort, not in the snow storm.
I would definitely choose Cancun! I have always wanted to go on a vacation there.
WOW this place looks amazing! So much better than the cold snowy place where I am!
I would love to go anywhere warm. I think resorts sound and look beautiful. Thanks for sharing them
I would definitely choose Punta Cana Dominican Republic! It is my native land and it is GORGEOUS, besides haven’t been back in years.
I wouldn’t care where I went as long as it was warm! These resorts are calling my name!
i would choose Punta Cana, Dominican Republic what a lovely place but they all look good i really need some sea sand and sun lol.
I’ve always wanted to go to Mexico so the Dreams Riviera Cancun Resort & Spa in Riviera Cancun sounds like my kind of vacation! That’s neat that they have a playground on the beach and I love the idea of a heated pool.
Beautiful pictures, if i went there I would never want to leave!
My husband and I dream of a day when we can go away to an all inclusive resort for a vacation. But for now, with our kids being so little, Disney World it is.
At the moment I would gratefully go to any one of those resorts–The polar vortex has been hitting where I live on again off again for too long now. All of these resorts look beautiful.
We live where it’s super cold too! I really would love a beach vacation right about now. Looking at sand sure beats looking at all this snow!
That Punta Cana trip sounds utterly amazing. I want to try horseback riding and dancing on the beach!
We are in the same predicament – thankfully, the kids are back in school this week and we had very decent weather this weekend. I think all the snow in our backyard finally melted! These destinations look heavenly!
I’ve heard great things about the Dominican Republic! Dreams Punta Cana Resort & Spa sounds like a beautiful destination. My hubby and I have never been on a honeymoon, and this would be a great place to celebrate an anniversary! Good luck to you!
How much does a trip cost generally? Our family is in desperate need of a vacation!
Cancun Mexico Definitely Looks Amazing!!
I would choose Riviera Cancun, Mexico Never been! They all look beautiful!
I would choose the Riviera Maya location! They all look great though!
I would choose the Dreams Riviera Cancun because I love Mexico!
