Please help me choose--Valentin Imperial Maya or Royal Playa del Carmen


Recommended Posts

I'm stressing over picking a resort for our wedding! My fiance wants adults-only so that limits our choices. We also want someplace reasonably priced b/c some of our guests that want to attend are financially strapped.  I had looked at Secrets, Ed Dorado, Iberostar and The Valentin and Royal Playa del Carmen seem to me the most cost-friendly.

 

Does anyone have any experience with either of these?  I know the Valentin is available for my date (June 2013) and I am waiting to hear back from Royal. One thing I don't like about Valentin is they require a $1,000 non-refundable deposit, which I think is high.  But the reviews I've read are great.  I also want a place that isn't going to be couples only and is going to have some social life as some of my friends are single. 

I appreciate any help, I feel so overwhelmed!! Other suggestions are welcome! How did you go about choosing YOUR resort?  did you work with a travel agent? Thank you!!! my wedding date is June 24, 2013 :-)

I have been on vacation to both resorts and I personally liked the Royal Playa del Carmen better. I was actually planning to get married there but once I saw all of the legal hoops you have to jump through to have a wedding in Mexico I decided on Jamaica. The food, drinks and service are awesome at the royal and the location is awesome because you can just walk down 5th ave at night and there is so much to do. Tripadvisor is a great resource for general reviews and pictures. :-) HTH

    • 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!
