Frequently Asked Questions

Travel has always been an important part of our story and we wanted our wedding to reflect this. Instead of sharing just a few hours with the people we love most, a destination wedding lets us slow down and spend more time celebrating and making memories with everyone over several days. An all-inclusive resort makes it easy for everyone to enjoy great food, drinks, sunshine, and time together without worrying about any planning or logistics. 
Unlimited food, drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic), room service, pool and beach access, daily activities, and entertainment.

They have a buffet option available for each meal in addition to 8 restaurants offering a broad range of food including Mexican, Thai, sushi, classic French, vegan/vegetarian, a poolside pizza/burger spot, and an adults-only grill, all-included!

A minimum of 3 nights is required for your stay. We'd recommend arriving by Friday Feb 26 and checking out Monday March 1, but you're more than welcome to stay longer! Anna and Alex anticipate being at the resort from Feb. 24-March 3. 
This is basically a standard hotel room, offering the choice of 1 king bed or 2 queen beds. This room usually shares a small foyer/entry area with another room or suite (with separate locks). A deluxe room is $406/night.

A Deluxe Room is like a standard hotel room with 1 king or 2 queen beds and a bathroom. A 1-bedroom suite has much more space with a full kitchen, dining area, and separate living room, with a pull out couch. This is a good option for guests who want more space, have families with young kids, or groups that want a central hang out place. 

The Deluxe room is $406/night for 2 people and the 1-bedroom is $473/night for 2 people (a 3rd person on the pull-out couch would be an additional $80)

Check out this video for an overview of the 1-bedroom suite option:

The 2-bedroom suite is a 1-bedroom suite and a Deluxe room (see description above) that have a shared entry way. These are 2 completely separate bedrooms with their own keys and private bathrooms. You do not need to share common living spaces unless you want to. This is great for families, friends, or 2 couples. Everyone sharing a multi-room suite will need to book under a single reservation. 
 
A 1-bedroom suite and a Deluxe room booked separately would be $879 total. A 2-bedroom suite (made up of a 1-bedroom suite and a Deluxe room) is $713. Reach out to Anna and Alex if you're interested in sharing a suite with others to save on the nightly rate!

You do not need to share common living spaces unless you want to. This is a great for large families, groups of friends, or multiple couples. Everyone sharing a multi-room suite will need to book under a single reservation. 
 
A 1-bedroom suite and 2 Deluxe rooms booked separately would be $1285 total. A 3-bedroom suite is $954. Reach out to Anna and Alex if you're interested in sharing a suite with others to save on the nightly rate!

In addition to your flight to Cancun, you will need to purchase round trip transportation from the airport to the resort. Please hold off on purchasing transportation at this time. Once we have a better idea of guest travel plans, there may be options to share larger transportation services and save. 

If you'd like to have your own private transportation, Paradise Weddings can arrange your transportation for $102/person round trip, which includes private, nonstop service to the resort, trusted and flexible if your flight schedule changes. 

While the resort is all inclusive, tipping is optional and at your discretion. Guests may choose to bring small bills to tip staff for great service. 

It is up to you if you want to purchase travel insurance. We recommend checking with any travel credit cards you may have to see if coverage is already included. 

Optional expenses like spa treatments, excursions, or gift shop purchases are not included in the package.

At the end of your stay, you'll see an Environmental Sanitation Tax in Mexican Pesos which averages to about $3/night/room.
No — all events, meals, and drinks are included. Any optional excursions or off-site activities would come at an extra cost.
A passport valid for 6 months after your travel is required for international trips. A visa is not required to travel to Mexico.
