  1. The beautiful Zoetry Villa Rolandi retreat in Isla Mujeres Cancun is known for its picturesque grounds and spectacular oceanfront views, but the small all-inclusive luxury resort is also known for its award-winning Casa Rolandi restaurant, where every meal is a 5-star dining experience. Found perched cliffside along the island shores, this world renown restaurant offers diners a variety of organic à la carte dining options. The eatery also serve gluten-free and vegetarian dishes, or can accommodate any allergy or dietary restriction. Specializing in Swiss-Northern Italian cuisine, some of the restaurant’s favorites include freshly made pasta dishes and delicious seafood. Here each meal is carefully prepared using only the freshest local grown fare and heart-healthy ingredients. During a recent visit, I enjoyed a specially prepared 3-course meal for lunch. The entire meal was delicious and included a ceviche salad, homemade ravioli stuffed with wild mushrooms, and coconut ice cream for dessert. It was undoubtedly one of the very best meals I’ve ever had in the Cancun/Riviera Maya area. Casa Rolandi is one of two eateries on the property and is open for Breakfast from 7:00 a.m. – 10:30 a.m.; Lunch & Dinner from 12:00 p.m. – 10:30 p.m., and Late night bites from 11p.m. – 6 a.m. Reservations are not required.

  2. That is a beautiful wedding gown and I think if it's what you want to wear, then you should! While some people have an idea of what a beach wedding gown should look like, it's ultimately up to you to make your wedding vision come to life. Since your gown is fairly covered up and has sleeves, depending on where you're getting married at, just keep in mind you may get very hot especially if you're getting married in a location with high temps and lots of humidity -- this could lead to lots of sweating, which will show in your photos. But again it really depends on your location, time of year and most importantly, what you want Hope this helps!
  3. If you're look for an all-inclusive resort in Mexico that families with children will love, Dreams Playa Mujeres Golf & Spa Resort should definitely be near the top of your list.

  5. I definitely suggest reaching out to a travel agent for your destination wedding. While it may seem that you could save money doing it on your own, travel agents will have access to special promotions and perks that you would not get otherwise. They will also be able to assist you and your guests on coordinating travel and transfers for your group -- something you will not want to deal with as your celebration approaches because you will have more than enough already on your plate. I strongly suggest you reach out to one of the Best Destination Wedding forum travel agents at Wright Travel Agency who have a lot of expertise and insight when it comes to planning destination weddings -- most importantly, they'll be able to share promotions or deals currently being offered by the resorts so you'll have options to look at when it comes to your price point range.

If not, consider some of these ideas ... I actually wrote this article for the BDW site a few years ago 5 Wedding Cake Alternatives You & Your Guests Will Love
