Thanks to our friends at Karisma for continuing to share some great insider tips on Mexico Weddings.  After reading their advice it's no surprise why our specialists love planning Mexico weddings for our couples with them!

Adding to the convenience of a destination wedding at El Dorado Spa Resorts & Hotels or Azul Hotels, by Karisma is the opportunity to have your bachelor/bachelorette party in the Riviera Maya. Typically, we ask couples to arrive three days prior to their wedding day, so it's the perfect amount of time to plan one last hoorah before becoming Mr. and Mrs. From golf to bar hopping to massages by the beach, there are endless options for you and your wedding party to hang out and toast to your last days as a single gal/guy.

For a bachelor party we suggest a round of golf- or two - at the lush Mayakoba golf course where you experience 18 holes set in three distinct ecosystems. The course is situated among a mangrove forest with stunning views of the beach and natural obstacles that test the skills of players at every level.  Schedule an early tee time and leave the afternoon open for dinner at one of the lively restaurants in Playa del Carmen. Good food, live music and tequila shots are guaranteed to get the right party started.

Bachelorettes might prefer to indulge in a pampering session with the bridesmaids at one of the state-of-the-art spas on the El Dorado or Azul properties. A wedding coordinator can reserve a spa suite for beauty and massage treatments and have it specially catered with a gourmet lunch and champagne. Everyone is treated like royalty by our staff, so it won't be difficult to disconnect and release some pre-wedding stress here. Girl talk, margaritas and manicures- this is exactly what bachelorette parties were invented for!

Couples can also opt for a combined bachelor/bachelorette celebration and invite the entire wedding party to a private fiesta on the beach. Pick from a menu of gourmet specialties prepared by the chef, and add the music of a steel drum player or a mariachi quartet - we can even have Pancho the tequila donkey make a cameo appearance just for you.

Forget the bachelor/bachelorette party mishaps you see in the movies, at El Dorado Resorts and Azul Hotels your party will be tailored to your specific idea of fun. We promise that saying goodbye to your single days will be exactly how you imagined- unforgettable and exciting!
