Dreams Natura Riviera Cancun

THis is a wondersful resort especially for kids. I loved it too! Great staff throughout the resort. Entertainment team was amazing! I enjoyed my stay at Dreams Natura. I brought my daughter and her 2 girls. They really enjoyed the resort. Very kid friendly with many activities for children. I was there as the yoga instructor teaching at the gazbo. The first class was for the resort staff. Lots attended and it was fun. They provided fresh fruits and vegatables and water after. The rest of the classes were at 9 and 10a.m. They have mats behind the activities desk. I brought a small speaker for some music. The entertainment team did a great job offering many activities including aqua aerobics and zumba. FYI - this resort has lots of weddings every day at various locations around the resort. This can result in areas of the resort closed and even a pool closed. Also they may be working at the gazebo getting ready for a wedding - then you have to move to another location.

Dreams Natura was an amazing teaching vacation experience. Everything went so smoothly from the transfer to the checkin. Manuel, the Entertainment Manager, called me when I got to my room and met me for a tour of the resort. He showed me where I would teach and where to get the mats. We discussed the schedule and he update the resort app so guest could see the schedule. Yoga was at 9am and 10am bootcamp. I got 7-10 people for Yoga. It was hot and sunny but fun. Bootcamp got 0-2 it was VERY hot and sunny by then. Manuel and the entire ET team were very visible and always talking up my class. I brought my own bluetooth speaker and connect to my spotify app on my phone. WiFi was always connected. This resort has tons of activities for families, good food, and great entertainment at night. I would book this resort again.

Took my mom and niece with me to teach during the week of Labor Day (May 2023), and we had a great time! Joe (Entertainment Director) was great! His team was super-supportive and attentive. Classes were small while we were there (3-8 people), but the hotel was only 50% full at the time b/c their busy season had not yet begun. Rooms are big. Food is just ok, but the staff is really careful when it comes to food allergies, so I have no complaints! (Food allergies are a big deal for my family). Note-- one of the staff told me that there is a small family of crocodiles in the mangroves near the hotel, so please pay attention to the flags on the beach and be careful when the flag is red. The staff are constantly monitoring for the crocs, so you can still feel safe. That said, the resort is beautiful, and my family was content to hang out at the pools and other parts of the property (so we didn't miss the beach too much).

Everyone was so helpful and welcoming. They helped with anything I needed. It was such an amazing experience and have already booked my next trip! My family also loved it and I can see us traveling this way for many years to come. Thank you Fitbodies for making this possible!

We traveled Dec 31 - Jan 8, 2023. Upon check-in, the Entertainment director met me and gave me a tour. We discussed what I wanted to teach. He said 9am is always Yoga and then 10am he'd like to change it up as much as possible. I taught 10am Pilates, Boot Camp, HIIT, or Tabata. He told me to check the resort app and the format would be listed. We communicated through the What's App. I read to bring a speaker and I'm so glad I did as the resort speaker wasn't available in the mornings. So bring one! I got 10 mats out daily and brought them to the gazebo. That is all the equipment they have. I also returned them after classes. I taught a few classes mixed starting at the Gazebo and moving to the sand - like Boot Camp. 40-45 minute classes. It was in the upper 80's and low 90's so it was super hot and 2 days no one came to the 10am class. They said that was fine. 9am Yoga had about 15 on average. 10am had between 2-10. The E team didn't come to any of my classes. They wer short-staffed and super busy. THey said they were going to come by daily, but never did =) The resort is clean and new and the restaurants are great! Book Hibatchi when you arrive! Massages were even better! Sand is white and clean, with a little seaweed as this is the season, but they try to rack it every morning. You'll love this place. I brought my 6 kids and husband. Ages 23-17. It was fine for teens and young adults!

Yoga was at 9 and 10. I suggest taking a blue tooth speaker for music rather than have the E-Team bring one out for class (it's not always available). Manuel was amazing to work with, so compassionate about his job. Hotel staff was good-great. E team was excellent. They had activities going all the time from about 11- 5. Overall, this was an excellent trip. The amount of entertainment during the day and night was outstanding. I like the safe location of this resort. I will be choosing a different resort if I travel again during seagrum season, due to location. Things out of their control, mother nature.

They were all fantastic at this resort. Can't recommend enough. I have told so many of my colleagues about this business. It's such a great opportunity to travel for a much more reasonable cost. I taught yoga and aqua programming. The E-Team and I walk around and invite guests to take class. Sometimes I used my bluetooth speaker.

teaching at the beach gazebo is a gorgeous studio!

I taught yoga in the gazebo and garden. The team goes above and beyond to ensure i was informed and felt ready. An issue is class was initially supposed to be in the gazebo but so many wedding-type activities were happening there it caused confusion for guests trying to take my yoga class. I worked hard to ensure everyone knew about my class and where to find it. They have mats and towels and I love teaching yoga on vacation! Working with Fit Bodies and the booking process is smooth. I look forward to booking again!

The entertainment team at Dreams Natura was fantastic. I did have to go prompt them almost every day about 10 minutes before my class to start setting up the stereo, but they did it every time (and at least 1-2 people from the team attended all of my classes). We struggled a bit with consistent housekeeping/minibar refresh/turndown service for the room, but otherwise, the resort was fantastic. Traveling on teaching vacations with FitBodies is the best gig in town! I have been on more than 15 trips in the last 12 years and every single one of them has been a phenomenal experience. My latest trip was extremely special because it was my first opportunity in 16+ months to teach live, in-person classes! I could not have imagined a better way to return to in-person teaching than with FitBodies in paradise. Thank you for doing what you do, and for making it possible for us fit pros to share our love for fitness with resort guests in the most stunning places! :) The Cancun arrival experience and everything at the resort is very smooth.

I taught yoga on the beach deck all week. They have a lot of yoga mats to use. The entertainment team was fabulous. Really great experience. Entertainment team members in every single class, great resort. Can't wait to book again!
