Hi MrsShoreytobe! My sister in law went to her cousins wedding two years ago and the wedding was at Moon Palace she stayed at Playacar. I asked her the same question. She said its all about preference. Moon Palace is a HUGE resort and they have tons of activities to do, their rooms are also more modern and the resort its self is beautiful. The down fall according to her is that Moon Palace is too big and she prefers a smaller hotel. Playacar is located in Playa del Carmen and you can walk around and site see more of a little town feel. The hotel is much smaller and the rooms are not as great. So it depends on what it is your looking for. Also, keep in mind whether you stay at Moon Palace or Playacar you can visit all the palace resorts and eat at there restaurants for free since you have the All Inclusive. So you can potentially stay at Moon Palace or Playacar and visit the other resorts.

Hi Juliebeth! I'm not too sure regarding the complimentary package for the reception reservations. I know if you select a Collin Cowie Collection you can have as many guest as you want with no extra charge. The more people that attend the better it is for you because you can get the unlimited private functions which include the private reception, and cocktail hour, private welcome dinner, etc. I can ask for you once I talk to my wedding coordinator some time this week to confirm my site inspection. I'm still debating if I should do the complimentary package or the Collin Cowie. So far, I have reserved the date which is the most important and first thing you should do. The acutal planning of the wedding selecting reception sites, cake, flowers, entertainment, etc. that process wont happen until 90 days prior to your wedding date. That is when you will be able to speak with the wedding coordinator that will assist you the day of your wedding. This kind of freaks me out because I like to plan ahead and make sure everything is perfect. However, I am confident that they will live up to their great reputation. Moon Palace conducts weddings all year round and they are great at what they do. My sister in laws cousin got married at the Moon Palace two years ago and they said the wedding was PERFECT! This is why I am not to worried. In the mean time there are a lot of DIY projects we can focus our time on. Hope this helps.

Hi JennyLynn824! The good thing about the complimentary wedding package is that you can customize your wedding to your taste, using the collections limits you to the colors and flowers, since they are standard. The Moon Palace works with Zuniga Productions which is a vendor that provides extras such as linen, runners, flowers, the whole nine. So you can pretty much have the wedding of your dreams! I also decided on the complimentary since I wasn't too big on the collections. Hope this helps.

Hi Geegee! You might want to contact them asap. I just confirmed my wedding for July 11, 2014 and they already had 3 other weddings booked for the same day. It is better to get an early start expecially to save the date you want.

Hi ladies, I'm in the process of planning our wedding at the moon palace...I'm a bit unsure about the collections from Colin Cowie...does anyone know if we have to use those collections? Any thoughts on the collections?

Hello Ladies, I am new to this site and found it to be very helpful with all the feedback. I am planning our wedding in April 2013 and although its still far in advance I have soooo many questions. I am looking for advice from Brides that have gotten married already at the MP. I'm a bit concerned about the wedding collections by Colin Cowie. They seem a bit low key with not enough decorations or flowers. Did anyone use the collections? If so, what did yout think? any pictures would be great. Also the bridal bouquet that they have in the wedding package doesn't seem to have anything out of the ordinary. Are we able to select the bouquet we want? or is it a standard bouquet? Also, any reception ideas? We are looking to have the reception on the terrace but not sure which one to choose. Any help is greatly appreciated.
