Weddings At Planet Hollywood Cancun | Our Honest Review
Thinking about saying “I do” at Planet Hollywood Cancun?
I’ve recommended this resort for years, and I get the same 3 questions every time: what does it actually cost, is the beach any good, and what’s the catch nobody’s telling me.
So here’s the honest version.
It has packages with real numbers, venues with capacities, and the stuff I always mention before a couple books.
Let’s get into it.
Planet Hollywood Cancun is one of the resorts I recommend when couples tell me, “We want everyone to have an amazing vacation too.“
It’s a 648-suite, all-suite, all-inclusive resort in Costa Mujeres, a stretch of coast just north of Cancun’s Hotel Zone.
And it’s got 11 restaurants, 11 bars, and even an on-site water park.
Plus there’s enough Hollywood memorabilia scattered around that your guests will feel like they wandered onto a movie set.
It’s right on the beach, it’s big, and it’s built for groups, which is exactly why it works so well for destination weddings.
If you want your wedding someplace “boutique and quiet,” this isn’t that resort.
But if you want a big, fun, wedding resort where everyone’s entertained, this is one of my top picks in Costa Mujeres.
Planet Hollywood Cancun plans blockbuster weddings (sorry, I just had to!).
Each and every wedding package is complete enough and accommodates a certain number of guests.
And you can always invite more guests if you want.
Here’s every package this resort offers along with the exact pricing.
Because “starting from” is exactly the kind of vague nonsense I try to avoid.
Their 4 wedding packages include:
- PH Tie The Knot | $769 for you and your partner
- PH Free | possibly free, or $1099 for 10 guests
- PH Love | $4,599 for 30 guests

Depending on the package you choose, more guests can be invited for $25 – $130 per person.
PH Love Wedding Package
The PH Love package is the perfect balance between the basic and the luxurious wedding packages.
And you won’t need any extra amenities because this package has got everything.

I genuinely feel that 1 thing Planet Hollywood Cancun does really well is variety, be that the food, accommodations, or the wedding venues!
There are a total of 7 ceremony and reception venues, and some of them can also be used to host cocktail hours.
The venues are customizable and are perfect for all types of weddings.
Their 7 Wedding and Reception Venues Include:
1. Beach Surf’s Up
A fabulous seafront location, this beach can make all your tropical wedding dreams come true!
It’s perfect for hosting ceremonies, receptions and cocktail hours.
You can invite up to 500 guests to join the celebrations.
It’s my go-to recommendation if you want that barefoot-on-the-sand moment.
2. Roof Top 24

And you can host up to 120 guests here.

One thing I love about Planet Hollywood is that every room is a suite.
That’s an advantage for wedding groups because everyone gets a little more space to spread out.
And with 648 suites, the resort’s well equipped to handle larger wedding groups.
It’s easier to keep everyone staying at the same resort instead of having guests overflow to another property.
And since you’re here for your wedding week, why not treat yourself to an even fancier suite?
That’s where the Star Class Upgrade comes in!
You get to choose from 10 room categories…
- Junior Suite – 1 King or 2 Queens and Sofa Bed
- Entourage Suite Family Room – 1 King and Sofa Bed
- Director’s Suite 1 Bedroom – 1 King and Sofa Bed
- Director’s Suite 2 Bedrooms – 1 King and 2 Queen Beds
- Junior Suite Star Class – 1 King or 2 Queens and Sofa Bed
- Entourage Suite Family Room Star Class – 1 King and Sofa Bed
- Director’s Suite 1 Bedroom Star Class – 1 King and Sofa Bed
- Director’s Suite 2 Bedrooms Star Class – 1 King and 2 Queen Beds
- Producer’s Suite 1 or 2 Bedrooms Star Class – 1 King and 2 Queen Beds
- Producer’s Suite 3 Bedrooms Star Class – 2 King And 2 Queen Beds or 1 King And 4 Queen Beds
For the newlyweds, I recommend the Director’s Suite 1 Bedroom!
For the couple, the Star Class Director’s Suite (1 Bedroom) is worth the upgrade.
It’s 1,227 square feet with a separate bedroom and living area, a full in-suite bar, a Jacuzzi, private terrace, and in some categories, a semi-private pool.
I especially like it for wedding mornings; there’s enough room for hair, makeup, photographers, and family members.
There are 5 pools plus a private white-sand beach here.
You can also catch a wave on the FlowRider® surf simulator, take a ride down the lazy river, or have a blast with the little ones at Jurassic Splash Park.
One heads-up – a few couples and guests have mentioned to me that the poolside sunbeds get claimed early, sometimes even before pool opening times.
If your wedding party wants a specific pool area for a group hang, ask your coordinator to help reserve space rather than leaving it to chance.
One thing I always look at when recommending a wedding resort is the dining.
Your guests will likely be here for 3 or 4 nights, so having plenty of variety is a blessing.
Planet Hollywood Cancun has got 11 restaurants and 11 bars.
So you and your guests will have tons of choices for each night of your stay.
The resort also has a unique lazy river float-up bar where you can enjoy sinful concoctions.
11 restaurant options include…
- Guy’s! Burger Joint | Restaurant by Guy Fieri – burgers and sodas
- So Cal Gourmet Emporium | flavors of Southern California
- East Sushi & Teppanyaki Bar | Japanese cuisine
- Sunset Strip Steakhouse & Grill | Steakhouse
