Hi! I'm Lori, and this is my first post. My weddding date is Oct 3rd (I know its hurricane season then, but having lived in Savannah, GA and Charleston SC all my life- I'm not run off by hurricanes). I am having SO much difficulty picking a resort. Any advice from those married in the Maya Riviera region would be greatly aprreciated. I only have about 8 guests coming, and chose a destination wedding to dodge the planning and stress coupled with my inability to make a decision. I definatly want my wedding in this region, and it has to be at an allinclusive resort (my dadwon't go anywhere else). My fiance has requested "a beach like the ones you see on the Travel Channel" whhich has led my closer to the Maroma beach area. The quality of the resort beaches (sand texture, water color and clarity, and ability to do minor snorkeling are priority. My fiance has never been out of the country ( I have been 6 or 7 times to the Caribbean and Mexico alone) so it is SO important not to disappoint him. I fell in love with El Dorado Royale, but I'm more of a fun loving, margarita girl than a romantic, uppity food girl (alhtough quality of food is very important- I wasn't impressed with the Palace resort food last time I went to Cancun). I don't want outside vendors, I want to keep it simple, and I want vibrant mango and magenta tropical flowers, so if your know of a the perfect resort for me...PLEASE help!! Thanks!

Hi Lori! I am also a Riviera Maya bride. I will be married 22 May 09, at Aventura Spa Resort. You will find this site very helpful. There are many DIY brides on this site so if you need help with anything...just ask...someone will point you in the right direction.

 

Congrats and Welcome!!

Hi Lori, welcome4.gif to the forum! If the quality of beach is an issue be sure to read reviews on Tripadvisor too. I also love the El dorado Royale but have read that it is one of the many beaches that is suffering from beach errosion. (Some resorts are putting really ugly huge sandbags just out a short distance in the water). I would suggest THe Royal Playa del Carmen, you can bring in outside vendors with a small fee and the beach is gorgeous! Good Luck with your planning!

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
