White sand, turquoise calm water and gentle breezes make this beach truly a dream. There are ample shady huts on the beach, and dozens of lounge chairs. Another highlight is an inflatable trampoline in the shallow part of the ocean that was a hit with both young and young at heart. Guests can swim, sail, snorkel, windsurf in the blue ocean and even take an introductory dive lesson for free as part of the Dreams experience.

Families will delight in Dream's dining experience. There are five a la carte restaurants, plus a buffet, a grill and in-room dining.
