Anyone worried about the large sand bags on the beach?

The only reason the sandbags exist at resorts is because they didn't build correctly. When the resorts clear the trees and mangroves to build right up to the water they, destroy the root structure that holds the beach together and resists erosion. When the roots disappear they need to put the whales in the water to protect the beach. It makes me a little mad. The bags are permanent and not seasonal.

 

We shoot weddings up and down the coast here. I'll start making mental notes of the sandbag-whale-free resorts so we can compile a list in this thread.

Playa - That would be amazing.

We're not so much worried about them being in pictures as we're getting married in Tulum most likely. But I'd just like to know which resorts have them in the water and even more which resorts suffer from bad beach erosion. We're ulitimately looking for a resort thats All inclusive but not massive and one thats got a nice white sand beach free of erosion and sandbags.. Maybe thats too much to ask but if we're asking people to spend money on vacation and trip we'd like to know what we're getting into. Because obviously all of the resorts show gorgeous beach pictures and don't mention anything about the current state of the beach so its impossible to know.

    • 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!
    • 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!
