Hi- Riviera Maya May 2007 Wedding

Hello everyone! I am planning a May 2007 wedding in the Riviera Maya. I have a few guests that will be bringing their children so I am having difficulty deciding where to stay. Does anyone have wedding pics or heard anything about -Iberostar Lindo, Barcelo Tropical, or Dreams Tulum.... or have any other suggestions of nice hotels? I am looking for an AI hotel with a very nice beach and good sand (not too many rocks or sea-weed if possible). Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! V

Hi there, I'm getting married in June at the El Dorado Royale. Its an adults-only, but depending on the age of the kids, their other properties might be appropriate, http://www.karismahotels.com/ Unfortunately I haven't been to the resorts you mentioned, but I have also been to the Moon Palace and it is family friendly. When I visited there, they said there was seaweed but they cleaned the beach each morning and I didn't see any during my visit.

Welcome!!!! The Iberostar properties are great for kids and adults...I have stayed at the Iberostar property in Dominican Republic and loved their service and it's a great family atmosphere...sorry can't comment on the ones in RM. I am pretty sure they are consitent in all their locations; it is a very large chain.

They have great activities for kids, they have the Star animation (I think that's what they are called) and they will entertain the children so you can concentrate on your wedding.

Good luck with the planning, let us know if we can help you in any other way

welcome v,

there are so many options in riviera maya...if the wedding is smaller playacar is a good option. or moon palace.

jackie (the moderator) is thinking about xcarat occidental. dreams tulum is a great place to get married as well.

there are a ton of pics and information of RM resorts, check it out and if you have any questions, let us know how we can help!

Welcome V,

Tammys right there are so many options when it comes to the RM. I am looking into the Occidental Grand Xcaret as my first option. Child friendly and not to expensive, but the beach there is man made... Its more known for their great pools. The RM has wonderful blue carribean beaches though so I"m sure you wont have a problem finding one that suits your needs. Let us know how we can help.

Hi and welcome!

Welcome! I am also getting married in the Riviera... January 25th. We have staying at the Allegro Playacar. It's small, quaint and inexpensive. I have heard great things about the Grand Palladium as well.

Good luck and Welcome!

Hi and welcome to the board. I'm getting married at the Moon Palace. It is very kid friendly. It even has it's own kid's club. However, the biggest complaint that I've heard is the seaweed on the beach. Although, from what I hear the pools make up for it. Good luck in your planning!
