MrsHK-I am looking for an all-inclusive resort in/near Playa, accepts kids, that is still fun for adults. A beautiful beach is important too! What suggestions do you have for a resort recommendation? I am stressing out just trying to decide which place to get married. I want somewhere nice but am trying to be cost conscience for my guests. Any suggestions??? Thanks!

I was considering Aruba too and found it hard to find any information....I did find that there are fewer all-inclusives in Aruba. Have you booked anywhere yet?

Has anyone determined how to handle booking with their guests? I'm afraid none of mine will book through my TA because they see the prices so much cheaper on sites like Expedia. If they book through Expedia but are at the same resort, will I still be charged for each to attend the wedding/reception? We do not anticipate a large number of people attending and several have children who will also be attending. I am trying to be respectful of costs. Thanks and I appreciate all of the information shared on this thread!

Thank you to everyone who has shared information on this thread. It's all been so helpful! Can anyone suggest a resort that allows children but isn't so "kid friendly" that adult activities are limited? I will have an 8yo, 12 yo, and 3 teenagers. Seems like the places that allow kids have huge pirate ships parked in the middle of the pool! Definitely hard to relax like that! Oh, and we are looking at Cancun/Riviera Maya as our location. I appreciate any tips and thanks again for all the information that's been shared! I've been challenged by my FI to keep this under $8000.

Hello Azul Beach brides....I am strongly considering this resort for my October 2014 wedding. Anyone care to share what they liked most about this resort? I'm a little concerned as so many reviews mention the rooms being subpar. Has anyone visited recently? Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone-I am newly engaged and considering Aruba for our destination wedding. I hear it is fabulous! However, I have never been nor can I afford to go before the wedding to scout locations. So I need some honest feedback...would prefer an all-inclusive as we like to have drinks on the beach and a place where I can have the actual wedding on the beach! I hear so much about the high-rise area vs the low-rise area and the reviews seem split. Any opinions/experiences you can share would be very appreciated especially if you've been to the Divi all-inclusive or any of the sister resorts. Thanks in advance!!!
