The Dreams resort that held the dolphin experience was disgusting. The water you swam in with the dolphins was like sewer water. All the staff cared about was getting you out fast enough to get the next group in $$$. We were told 5 different things by 5 different dolphin trainers within 10 seconds..swim there, no now there, no come... More

Well worth doing. Get Safety Life Jacket the tightest you can as it will move in water. I kept treading on the water thinking I was going to sink. Guides told me not do that as Dolphins do not like you to move. My jacket kept moving up to my neck so get tightest. Loved the kiss, cuddle and dance... More

My boyfriend and I did the couples dolphin swim at the Dreams Hotel in Cancun. It was amazing... he and I swam with the dolphins for a hour! And the pictures we got on cd were great memories (although a little expensive). More

My husband and I did a couples swim. We thought it was worth the extra money because you had a full hour of the trainer's undivided attention. We interacted with several dolphins....all were beautiful and very well mannered. At the end of the hour they whisk you into a room where they show the close to 100 pictures they have... More

The dolphins and the trainers did a wonderful job here! We had such a good time, even when the dolphins decided they wanted to play and not work anymore. The only thing I did not care for was the water was very green, almost black. I am concerned they are not keeping the water quality very high, when I did... More

Dear traveler, We highly appreciate your review. We are glad you had an awesome experience at Delphinus. The color of the water changes a lot with bad weather this is because the water is 100% natural for the dolphins and has vegetative population, such as in the ocean. We don’t use any type of chemicals to protect the dolphins and... More

My teenage daughter had a ride with the dolphins at Delphinus in the Xcaret Park 4 years ago; this time she had a ride at the Delphinus at the Dreams Cancun Hotel. Overall, she thought the experience at Xcaret was better because the dolphins there seemed to respond to their trainer better. I booked her experience online a week in... More
