Hi! This is perfect! I am newly engaged as well ( in Playa del Carmen in Feb. at the Gran Porto Real)! We loved this resort and plan to come back to the area to be married in March 2015 so this is all good information for me. We saw a wedding at both the Gran Porto and the Royal but have decided it is not the location for us. While the weddings were BEAUTIFUL, the beaches here are very busy so if you would like a private beach ceremony this may not be the place. Other than that, the food was great, steps from downtown and wonderful staff, etc etc. I am also looking for places near downtown so we could go out with friends at night but with a less busy beach so our wedding can be more private... so far I am seeing 1. Riu and 2. Playacar? Any other recommendations?
Thanks!!! Let me knwo if you have any questions re: Gran Porto
Am I correct in assuming that the beach at Riu or Playacar are less busy? If not, we would book at the Royal or GP in a heartbeat! Those photos are stunning and really helpful...! If we decide to book here we will be in touch MTM!
