As they expand the 'Pages in Paradise' literary program to eight additional Dreams Resorts & Spas properties throughout Latin America and the Caribbean, guests can look forward to an enriching experience unlike any other.
A Curated Library Experience
The newly expanded Pages in Paradise initiative means guests will now have access to a fantastic array of books right at their fingertips.

Book lovers can enjoy various titles in both English and Spanish, ensuring that every traveler can find the perfect read for their sunny getaway.
Monthly Themed Cocktails
