Congratulations Jennifer and welcome to the forums! We recently covered a wedding at Excellence Playa Mujeras... very nice resort! Have fun with all your planning.

Here is a little post that we have talked about many times... let us know if this helps and you need more! We have lots of this information listed for brides. Best of luck. What locations are available for your ceremony and reception? ~ Privacy is usually a big concern among brides, whether they are being married in their home town or travelling to a tropical destination. The Mexico destination couple may envision their wedding on a remote section of beach sharing their vows with only each other, their guests, and Mother Nature. If this sounds like you, you will need to be very careful when choosing a resort. Although some resorts can offer exactly what you are looking for, others just can't offer as much privacy. For example, hotels that are found within Playa Del Carmen are sharing the beach with many other resorts, as well as the locals (like us!). These beaches get very busy and beach weddings tend to attract a lot of uninvited guests. Such resorts may offer a garden gazebo or more private location away from the busy beach. Sand is also a consideration. If you imagine yourself barefoot as you approach your soon to be husband, then sand is the perfect choice. High heals... not so conducive to sand. Sun or shade? Gazebos offer shade for you and your guests. That Mexican sun can get pretty hot but it's probably part of the reason you chose to get married here! Don't worry, even when the ceremony location is in full sun the wedding coordinator will keep your guests in the shade until the ceremony is ready to begin. ~ Is it important for you to have a private area available for your reception and dance? Not all wedding packages offer a private location for your party afterwards. Be sure to inquire about the available options, capacity of each, and whether or not there will be extra fees associated to booking them.

Congratulations and welcome to the forums! Most AI resorts have many options for your wedding day including some off the beach locations and wedding gazebos. Best of luck with all your plans!

Congratulations Brandy and Steve and welcome to the forums! When you come down to the Mayan can you bring me a brownie from Baked Expectations?!?! haha No seriously!!! Have fun with all your plans.

Congratulations and welcome to the forums! As far as resorts go... each you listed have their strong points! We have only been to Excellence Playa Mujeres so I can speak about that one. El Dorado is very classy and adults only. It it down the coast from Playa del Carmen but you can still easily make it to town. The Royal is right on 5th ave. Nice small resort and gives you an ideal location for any guest that want to get out on the town. No need for cabs. The beach there is public tho and often attracts tourists on your wedding day. I have been to both for evening receptions and having them on the beach is fantastic! I hope this helps. Email us if you need more information.
