Situated on the northeastern coast of Mexico’s sun-splashed Yucatan Peninsula, Cancun provides an ideal location for exchanging lifetime vows with the one you love. Whether you want to say “I do” by the Caribbean Sea or after walking down the aisle of a centuries-old cathedral, you’ll find your dream wedding venue in Cancun.
If headed for the alter, you’ll likely arrive in Cancun with at least a few family members and friends in tow. This means arranging for accommodations that are appropriate for a variety of ages, activity levels, and interests.
Available activities and amenities in Cancun include day cruising, snorkeling, sailing, ziplining, and jungle or archeology tours. Those who prefer to indulge in more leisurely activities can enjoy Cancun’s many top-tier restaurants and cafes, art galleries, and boutique shopping options — or simply relax on the beach soaking up the sun.
All-inclusive resorts offer an excellent option for those with multi-generational guest lists who want to ensure the good time of everyone involved. Fortunately, the Riviera Maya is teeming with family-friendly lodging options where you and your loved ones can celebrate your wedding in paradise.
Following are just three of Cancun’s many world class all-inclusive resorts that make great wedding destinations.
Beach Palace
Situated on a long stretch of white sand and looking out over the azure waters of the Caribbean Sea, Beach Palace offers a luxurious ambiance and amenities designed to please every member of the family. You can enjoy indulgent spa treatments with members of your wedding party while the groom-to-be and his friends go on a catamaran trip to Isla Mujeres.
Rooms are equipped with double whirlpools, hair dryers, liquor dispensers, and luxurious CHI brand grooming products. What makes Beach Palace so special for families? It offers a two-story Kids Club with a water slide, games, and other activities designed to keep little minds and bodies happy and engaged in a safe, fun environment.
The property contains numerous dining and drinking options, including a swim-up bar. There are several restaurants offering world cuisine for more adventurous eaters, as well as classic fare with plenty of kid-pleasing options (like pizza!). Guests have the option of enjoying exquisitely crafted food and beverages on the beach, by the pool, under the stars, in their rooms, or in one of the many sumptuous dining rooms. 24-hour room service is also available.
