Hello Andrea and Dave...first of all ...CONGRATULATION!!!!!
We are Federica and Arianna (Micas de Miralls - The Wedding Planner) , we are indipendent wedding planners in the Riviera Maya, indipendent because we dont like too much organize weddings inside AI , we think a wedding is so special for every person than "another all the same wedding" is not our style at all.... So basically we select personally different private places according to your taste and budget, usually most of our clients do like you , stay in a AI for the vacation and then they get out for the wedding, so feel free to contact us If you need any extra tips or informations!!! ;-)))
About AI resort where you can stay , let's see....If you dont mind to stay beetwen Playa del Carmen and Tulum , the Barcelo at XPu ha has a great beach...actually XPu ha has one of the most beautiful beach....If you want to stay in Tulum , Blue Tulum and Dreams Tulum has great beaches too.....Hope this can help you!!! ;-)))) Federica & Arianna
