Hey Tiffany, we are getting married at the Riu Palace in April,so I can't answer your questions about the gazebo or restaurant, but I found a website that helped me alot while planning my wedding time. We chose to have our ceremony at 4pm, as the sun sets at about 6:15 on the date we are getting married. We figured the ceremony would last til 5 at the latest, then an hour or so for beautiful sunset pics and as we are sitting for dinner, the sun will be setting in the distance. HOpe this helped, here is the link: http://www.thesunrisetimes.com/Mexico/Cabo_San_Lucas,_Baja_California_Sur,_Mexico_/April/2012.aspx
