Destination Wedding Specialist Judy H. walks us through her recent trip to this resort and why it's a great choice for Mexico weddings.

The Grand Velas All Suites & Spa Resort Riviera Maya is a luxurious All-Inclusive resort, located 5 minutes away from downtown Playa del Carmen and 35 minutes from Cancun International Airport. It offers the very best of everything from hospitality to dining to magnificent views, all catering to great Mexico weddings. The Grand Velas is a "Green" property, with the capability of producing 75% of its own electricity. In addition to several highly recognized accolades, it is a member of The Leading Hotels of the World.

The Grand Velas offers 3 ambiances (sections) within the property: The Zen, Ambassador and Ambassador Grand Class. Each ambiance offers an experience unique to that ambiance.

• The Zen is surrounded by jungle and water canals. The convention center and Spa (considered the best in the area) is located here. This is a family-friendly section of the resort.
• The Ambassador is also Family oriented. The accommodations are all ocean view and it encompasses the largest inventory of ocean view rooms in the area. Coral colors set this section apart from the more neutral colors of the Zen.
• The Ambassador Grand Class features the Adult Only section of the resort. Although there are only 18 of these ocean front rooms, they have plunge pools and all face the ocean. This is a cozy, romantic and "boutique" section for Adults Only.

There are wedding packages offered, based on the size of the wedding group. In addition to the fine amenities and inclusions from each package, the bride and groom are also given the opportunity to design their own wedding ceremony site. This allows for very unique Mexico weddings.

With a picture perfect beach, fabulous infinity pool, 5 restaurants, beautifully kept grounds, flowers, and accommodations, why go anywhere else? They offer a superb Kids Club. Babysitting is also available at $16 per hour. The staff are attentive to all of your needs. This is what paradise is all about.
