Excellence Playa Mujeres Resort and Spa
Okay, so the resort and the rooms are beautiful and impeccably maintained and that is important, but the staff is what really pushes this place into the realm of legendary.
Yamina, the wedding coordinator is doing quite a few weddings a week all on her own, yet she is on top of everything. I was so nervous when I arrived, then she came to meet us with a color coded binder with everything we had ever discussed about our wedding in it. Seriously ladies, don't stress the small things before you get there. She has it under control! I wish someone had told me this before I arrived :) She is so kind and passionate and you genuinely feel that she cares about your wedding. She was a big reason why I chose to have my wedding here because of how well all the other brides had spoken about her, seriously, there has never been a negative thing written about this woman! Some other hotels have a revolving door of people working there and it was comforting to know that she was the one I delt with from beginning to end.
In addition to Yamina, the rest of the staff like Jorge who helped us with our menu/wine tasting and Arturo the head waiter during our party also really stood out. They were so friendly, attentive and knowledgeable about their crafts and it was a pleasure and an honor to have them help us with our event. But it doesn't stop with them, every member of staff there is super friendly and always greet you with a kind smile.
The food was great, the atmosphere is great, and our beachside ceremony was beautiful.

In addition, hotels like these are known for trying to squeeze you for every nickel and dime, but not here! We were actually expecting our bill to be higher than what it was and we often heard "oh that's included" (even though it's not listed anywhere) and we were not charged for some things we expected a charge for. You really get some serious bang for your buck here! I scoured the globe trying to find a way to give my guests a 5 star wedding experience without having to sell a kidney and my search let me here. I was not disappointed. Everyone said it was the best wedding they had ever been to, and I don't think any of us have ever had that much fun before. Just have a look at the photos and all the smiles and laughter. You can't go wrong here! We have already started planning an annual return visit here because we miss it already!
