Dreams Cancun - Questions for those married here!

I just read a trip advisor review that said the drive from the airport to the resort is an hour and half long. Is this true? I want to prepare our guests. I thought it was closer then that.

I was told it was a twenty minute drive.... from the people at the hotel and on another site... Hmmm

There is no way it is a 1 and 1/2 drive. It's more like a half hour drive if you go direct from the airport.

I was reading on someone else's thread that they had to put a major credit card number at the front desk and they took out 250 to hold in case of charges incurred during the stay. Do they do that at Dreams? Just wondering so I can make sure my guests are aware to have extra money on their cards.

They can bog off if they try that with me or any of my guests because that is ripe for credit card fraud - if they ask say you don't have one! God everyone is paying enough to stay there without them starting that game

I know I have had hotels do this before. Usually the expensive ones. So, it wouldnt surprise me and it is refunded to your credit card at check out.

I don't care they aren't getting it lol and if i have to spit my dummy at reception i will lmao

it's no more than a half an hour to the resort from the airport. Maybe the persons review you read was talking about dreams tulum? that would be about an hour and a half away.

You do have to give a card, with us they wanted to put a hold on as much as we owed for the wedding, but I brought travelers checks to pay for everything, so they ended up putting a hold on $200, I think. But I don't know if they did that with our guests, I think it might have just been us.

I don't really think its necessary for guests because it is all inclusive, so you really don't spend much money that you would have to charge it to your room.

yes when we went for our site visit it took us a half hour to get to dreams but we made 2 stops at other hotels before us and as for the credit card they did not take anything on ours at that time not but thats just our experience!

I was just going over my list of the documentation we need to get married in Mexico and I think I know the answer to this but I just wanted to double check with you guys...

 

"What are the requirements to get a marriage license in Mexico?

 

Valid passport

Tourist Cards (blue sheets that you receive at the airport)

Apostille certified birth certificates for Bride & Groom

If applicable, final Record of Divorce

If applicable, Death Certificate

Health certificate and blood test provided by a Mexican Official*

Bride & Groom must arrive four business days prior to the ceremony! (Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays do not count). "

 

So here's my question...what is an Apostille certified birth certificate? I have a copy of my birth certificate...do I need to get it notarized or something?
