Dreams Cancun Launches New Mobile Site

We just got an email from Apple Vacations featuring a new and very innovative Mobile Concierge Website focused on Dreams Cancun.

The new Mobile Concierge site allows you to research resort information, available spa services, local Cancun information and more – all at your fingertips while lounging under your Cabana!

As of this writing, I have not been able to do an on-site Wi-Fi connectivity test so if you are reading this and you have been or are going soon, please share with us how well the connection is. You can also access Dreams Cancun’s Mobile Concierge site using your wireless carriers data plan, but that can be pricey. Please check with your carrier on applicable rates.

On the main page of the Mobile Concierge Site, you can request a room upgrade. The nice feature on this, is Dreams Cancun asks you where you can be located in the resort area to confirm the upgrade. 

You can find us at the middle palapa closest to water on the small beach (grin).

On the Food and Beverage tab, you can learn more about the available dining options, dress codes, hours of operation, and have a look at the menu’s. We like the Shrimp and Scallop Skewers at Himitsu, the Japanese Restaurant!

We also like the 24 hour Room Service feature that you can order off the Mobile Concierge site. Because really, if you are on your patio, who really wants to get up and walk over to the phone when the sun is just right and you are overlooking the Delphinus Dolphin experience.

You also have a bit of information on the Bars and their themes on the site.

Many of the most popular excursions are also listed along with pricing through the link to Amstar’s Mobile Site..

Nightlife is also featured and on top of the list is one of our favorites, Coco Bongo. At roughly 300 yards away, Coco Bongo is a must see if you enjoy great nightlife combined with a Las Vegas styled high energy show.

There is also a very handy, updated daily activity schedule on the Mobile Concierge Site. Dont miss the Beach Volleyball in the Lagoon area at 11:00am! Speaking of daily schedules, you also have the Explorers Club for kids schedule updated daily and available at your fingertips. How about the Giant Snakes and Ladders Game at 4:00pm in the Explorers Club.

One feature that is sure to be used frequently, is the Pevonia Spa Experience.  From this tab, you can view and book available spa treatments. You must book these packages 24 hours in advance but how nice to have a feature where you can book your Mani-Pedi right from your lounger at poolside!

One more very nice feature, is Dreams Connect. This feature allows you to communicate while at the resort using the free Wi-Fi service. Dreams Connect includes services like SMS text messaging to home, a Group Chat feature that's password protected which is great for meetings, and access to Twitter.

Another wonderful feature is the ability to book a candelight dinner right on the Mobile Concierge site. You need to make these at least 8 hours in advance and report to the Concierge 2 hours prior to re-confirm your dinner. You also have the ability to keep the dinner a surprise if you like. You are also able to select from 5 different locations at the resort. We like the Dock location out on the water!
