Pros: Cozy, clean, upscale, great pool, PIER
Cons: only 2 restaurants, seagrass coast, far from town

I had my wedding at Ceiba in mid-March, 2011.  It was the perfect location for my group of 65 friends and family.  Every one of our guests stayed at the hotel, and we had a full week of relaxation and fun leading up to Saturday's nuptials.

 

The grounds are beautiful.  The rooms feel authentically Mexican, and are nice and clean.  If you're a bride, request the Penthouse in the building closest to the pier.  Its the best!  The pier is the reason I chose Ceiba as my wedding destination -- you just can't get a more beautiful or unique location.  And it fits up to 90 people, I believe.  (Only con was that it was super windy!)

 

As I was planning my wedding, Ceiba changed wedding coordinators 3 times, which was far less than ideal.  Paola took over, and while communication was difficult, we got the job done together.  In a perfect world, my original planner would have stayed at the hotel, but she took an outside opportunity to expand her career.  Overall, the staff at Ceiba is great.

 

You can see how beautiful the grounds are in this slideshow of some images from my wedding (btw, Del Sol photography is the best!):

The bottom line is, Ceiba is the perfect place for a small, adult crowd (although we had 2 children there, who had just as much fun as their parents!).

Thank you so much for posting! This was so helpful for me since I am planning my wedding for May 2012 from Washington, DC. You looked absolutely amazing it was really touching to go through your pictures even though I don't know you. It just shows how wonderful your wedding was. I'm planning to have 30 people at my wedding. They informed me that there isn't a saturday available in May 2012 however Friday was a choice. My only concern is if there is another wedding that same weekend, will it affect my wedding? I don't mind sharing the spotlight but I wonder how much.

Thank you very much if there is anything I should be concern about, please let me know.

lavieenrose. absolutely NO worries about 1 event on friday and 1 on saturday. Ceiba is private, you will have no hindsight blunders about your Friday ceremony... or a Sunday one :) Think about this, we work in some All Inclusives that have 5 -10 PER DAY. saludos and congrats on your choice of Mehico!
