WE HAVE SOMETHING FOR

Complimentary Wedding & Honeymoon Packages Each resort offers a complimentary honeymoon and wedding package (complete with the devoted attention of an on-site wedding coordinator). Envisioning something more elaborate or unique? Choose from a bouquet of wedding extras, with special touches like fireworks, a photobooth, or a butterfly release and create memories that will last a lifetime.

Spa Packages & Services Lavish spas offering romantic couple’s treatments for newlyweds — residual wedding stress is sure to melt away. Brides and their wedding parties will be pampered in the full service salons (many with a private bridal suite) offering all the wedding day necessities. From nails, to hair, to make-up, everything will be picture perfect.

Complimentary Greens Fees While the bride and bridesmaids are being pampered at the spa, the groom and his groomsmen can enjoy a morning round of golf. Guests staying at select resorts in the Riviera Maya/Cancun and Puerto Vallarta regions will have the chance to tee off with complimentary greens fees at a nearby premier golf course.

Groups, Gatherings & Getaways Wedding groups will love this deal! Book five rooms and receive the sixth room free! Plus, you’ll arrive to a private check-in, a complimentary VIP upgrade for every 10 nights paid, and $200 in resort coupons per room for use towards fine wines, spa treatments and private dining. Book in advance with your preferred travel agent.

Bachelor & Bachelorette Parties Why wait for the wedding and honeymoon for a getaway? Escape to a luxurious resort and start your wedding festivities off on a high note. With gourmet dining, chic bars and lounges, daily activities and nightly entertainment all included, your wedding party will never have to argue over where to go, what to do, or who has to pay for the next round.

Bridal & Honeymoon Registries Gone are the days of asking for pots and pans and toasters. Create a registry with gifts that really wow — like spa packages and excursions to surrounding archeological and ecological sites. This is the event of a lifetime — make the most of it!

Free Anniversary Nights Keep the magic alive and come back for your first anniversary celebration! Simply stay a minimum of 7-nights with your qualifying wedding or honeymoon package and earn complimentary nights toward a return stay over your first anniversary.
