World class hotels in abundance offer lodging and conference space that are unsurpassed in excellence and which cater to the tastes and needs of any size or type of group.

And, of course, groups will dine fabulously on world renowned Mexican food and a wide variety of international cuisine prepared by experienced chefs.

Unsurpassable Setting. The Riviera Maya is an incredible combination of perfect white sand beaches, crystalline Caribbean waters, pristine environments, adventure opportunities and luxury.

The Sundeck Lounge is a great option for MICE tourism

Of course, the main attraction in Cancun and Riviera Maya is its turquoise sea and the wide variety of water activities that can be done.

Beach Weddings in Mexico: Five Ideas for your Celebration.

The romantic dreams of many brides-to-be include vows uttered lovingly on a white sand beach under a tropical sky with a windswept sea as a backdrop. This image has made the Riviera Maya a magical location for beach weddings. Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Cozumel, Tulum and Barcelo all have unique and beautiful venues. The setting is an amazing combination of white sand beaches, clear Caribbean Sea, pristine jungle, ancient ruins and a proven hospitality industry. Beach weddings can be intimate ceremonies on a secluded beach, or they can be full on luxury affairs hosted by the finest beach-front hotels. Here are five ideas:

Beach weddings invitations: Set the Mood

When the time comes to send out invitations to your beach wedding, you have a great opportunity to set the theme. Cards decorated with the delicate texture and tones of ocean and beach are the perfect touch.

Wedding preparation on Mexican beach weddings against a background of beautiful sea

Tropicalize the Celebration

Develop your beach wedding theme and create your own oasis. Tropical plants and flowers in abundance are a beautiful and natural way to embrace the party ceremony and wedding party in your theme. For music, romantic Caribbean and Mexican themes flow with the mood.

Timing is Everything: Mood Lighting

An hour or so before sunset is a beautiful time to begin your beach ceremony. You are out of the hottest part of the day, the lighting for photography is good and the mood is magical as the sun shimmers down into the Caribbean Sea. Then, the celebration can begin in twilight and continue under a star-struck night sky.

Prepare for the Environment

Maximize your enjoyment of the occasion by fully preparing for the beach environment. Your gown can be as light and airy as the environment with shoes that won’t make walking in the sand a problem. Make sure your guests have the water, sunscreen, bug repellent and shade they need.

Organizing Beach Weddings Party Activities

The Riviera Maya is filled with enchantments which every member of your wedding party can share. Transportation is excellent and professionally organized excursions are readily available. You can explore ancient Mayan ruins, visit a pristine forest, and dive under the surface of a clear sea. At the end of the day, dine together on delicacies simmered in the traditions of Mexican and international cuisine. Then, hit world-famous nightspots.

Group packages are a great way to economize and coordinate activities. You even have the lifetime opportunity to go swimming with dolphins at exclusive settings designed by Dolphinaris and upgrade your exquisite experience at The Sundeck Lounge perfect for a wedding rehearsal party, which caters to private groups among others. And it offers all the services and group packages (not to mention spectacular food and drink) to delight your whole wedding party, in a classically romantic setting. All of that overlooking beautiful dolphins and tropical lagoons.

Contact us for more information, we will be happy to asisst you.

So while you’re here in Cozumel see it as an opportunity to learn more and become fascinated.

El Cedral is the site of the oldest ruins on the island. This small house with no ornamentation is a fertility temple and thought to be a very important ceremonial site for women thousands of years ago.

el cedral

For locals, this is one of the islands most significant places of worship, and you will find a small church located next to the tiny ruin.

The village of El Cedral is just 3km west of Carretera Costera Sur.

The turnoff is near Km 17, across from the Alberto’s Restaurant sign.

Just look out for the white-and-red arch.

6. Cultural Tours

1. Flavors and Traditions of Mexico.

Cozumel is renowned for its amazing chocolate, tequila, and delicious tasting food.

This is a tour for the foodies reading this, and guaranteed to be the highlight of your trip.

The flavors and traditions of Mexico is actually a tour ran by the water park of Playa Mia so you book this with them.

It provides you with the opportunity to learn more about the flavors and traditions of the island that have stood the test of time.

On this tour, you have the opportunity to put an apron on, roll up your sleeves and get involved.

What’s not to love.
