Congratulations and welcome to the forum!! I am going to send you a link to a variety of places and resorts in the Mayan Riviera that i have photographed. It should give you a good idea of what is in your background and how private the surroundings are. Some resorts are very quiet and the area to get married is quite secluded, others are right in the center of the beach with lots of lookers, those are less common. I hope this helps, http://www.facebook.com/media/albums/?id=154316341271212 Warmest wishes, Lori
