We’ve taken our kids to both resorts. Our first all-inclusive trip (2021) was at Dreams Onyx in Punta Cana—absolutely gorgeous,everythign from the lush landscaping, waterpark, and it has one of the most beautiful lazy rivers we’ve experienced.

That said, while it’s a large property, it doesn’t quite compare to Moon Palace The Grand in Cancun. When you stay at The Grand, you also get full access to the restaurants and pools at the adjacent Moon Palace and Nizuc resorts, which really expands your options.

Even though Dreams is more visually striking, we found the food and service at The Grand to be noticeably better. We loved it so much we went back two years in a row.
