Hello Celine, I just wanted to share my experience with you. We met Rocio from Weddings Turquesa in Play in July and was hoping to use their company as our planners. We've emailed and called several times over that past month and have received no responses. We now will need to find a new wedding planner. Good luck with your planning! Crystal

Well I think your best bet would be to first starting looking on locogringo.com which is a great site that offers info, pricing and reservations options on condos, villas, and hotels throughout the Riviera Maya. If you click on the below links, they will direct you to aerial views which show the distance between lodging options, and then you can click on those names for pricing info. There are locations on playa's main beach area, and then areas south and north of the central area. This will help you see how far the condos/hotels/villas are from each other. It's a great place to start! Another great place that has been talked about recently on here in Playa is Blue Parrot ~ which offers hotels, suites, and condos options so it really covers every guests budget. The weddings there seem phenomenal and it's also ideally located near Avenue 5. Here's the website link: ..:: Blue Parrot - Welcome ::.. Also locogringo offers a search option under playa del carmen for a list of condos, villas, hotels in a chart list. Make sure to check that out too! Hope this helps!!! ) Central areas: Playa del Carmen: photo tour, aerial images Playa del Carmen: photo tour, aerial images South of Playa's central areas: Playacar~Playa del Carmen: photo tour, aerial images Playacar Phase 1: photo tour, aerial images Playacar Phase 1: photo tour, aerial images North of Playa's central areas: Playa del Carmen: photo tour, aerial images Playa del Carmen: photo tour, aerial images Playa del Carmen north: photo tour, aerial images This is all AMAZING information! Thank you very much for taking the time to look into this for us. I really appreciate your help and I will definitely look into the Blue Parrot. Thank you!

We decided to go with an all inclusive--so then our guests have more options, and all inclusive drinks and food! If you're still interested in a villa, let me know, and I will try to find my research! Can you tell me which all inclusive you chose and is the resort planning your wedding or are you hiring a coordinator? Will you be having your wedding at the resort and reception at a restaurant? Thank you!

I'm also open to small all inclusives that are reasonably priced. Thanks so much--any advice you may have is greatly appreciated! Hello! I know this post is a little bit older, but, I am researching the same type of wedding arrangement. I am looking for villas for 30-40 guests close to Playa del Carmen. Can you share with me if you found this type of villa accomodation for your wedding

And how close do you need to be to the heart of Playa, which for most is Avenue 5 where all the action happens -- walking distance, short car ride, few blocks? We would need to accomodate between 25-40 people. We would also like different budget options because our guest will have different levels of comfort for what they can afford. Many of our guests will be coming from Europe and will be paying quite a bit in airfare so some very affordable options will be important for them. I would prefer to be within walking distance to Avenue 5. I was also looking at Puerto Aventuras because there are some pretty amazing villas, the only downside being that it is still pretty far from Playa and the nightlife/restaurants. Any suggestions that you would have is very greatly appreciated! THANK YOU!

MarieSam, I think the accomodations you have chosen for your family and friends looks absolutely perfect! I have been looking for this type of villa arrangement for my DW guests, but in Play del Carmen. Do you or anyone else know of villa/townhomes in close proximity to eachother in Playa? I've researched many websites re: villas but I can't tell which ones are close together. I really want our guest to be as close as possible to minimize issues in trying to spend time with them. We also have to be conscientous about the cost so it is reasonable for everyone. Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated!!!

I would absolutely be grateful to receive this information as well if someone would be so kind to email it to me at: [email protected] THANK YOU!!!

Hello superez, kilownasara, and monicaswave! I am considering using CBW as our coordinator for our wedding next Feb. I would love to hear your experiences with them and any information that you could provide me would be incredibly appreciated! Thanks!
