Free Site Visits in Riviera Maya

So my FI and I want to take a trip back down to Riviera Maya to look at more resorts so we can narrow it down for our wedding party.  Has anyone ever done this before?  I don't want to have to pay $1,000 for a few days to stay at one resort, its not a vacation, I'm scouting. Does anyone know of a service or someone that does this?  Is this a WC or TA duty?

Congrats on your upcoming Mayan Riviera wedding, astaats83!!! as you read thru the threads here, you'll see numerous brides who make site visits to research which venue they like best for their wedding.

I wish you all the best with finding all the info you're looking for, and that your planning process is smooth n easy - Enjoy

I don't know if every resort/hotel does this but I know that my hotel Le Blanc Spa Resort which is a Palace Resort gives you 3 nights/4 days free for your site visit, it's called "Preview Paradise".  Well it's not actually free you pay a discounted price which in my case is about half the regular room rate and then if you decide to book with the resort the money you paid to do the site inspection is credited back to you to put towards your wedding or wedding package.  I booked a site visit and I am going to Le Blanc in October for a 3 night stay and will be getting that money credited back to me to put towards my wedding.  In my case I already booked the hotel because we fell in love with it but at the site inspection we get to see everything in person and meet with our wedding cordinator and some vendors so we know exactly what we are getting.  So in the end you are only paying for you flight to go to cancun for a quick weekend and get to ask all the questions and see everything in person which for me is crucial since i'm a visiual person.  You can also then book visits with other hotels while you are there I would check and see if the resorts you are looking at offer this option.  Good luck!

I have heard that Karisma resorts do a bridal rehearsal for about $300 per couple for 3nts. They do it once a month. You get to see ceremony locations, reception locations, decor, good tastings etc. I know they did this all of 2013. I'm hoping they continue this in 2014 cuz we are hoping to check out one of their resorts

I had considered the Paradise Preview promo from Palace Resorts (specifically Moon Palace), but it would be $246/pp/night if we didn't end up confirming a wedding. Dreams Riviera Cancun gave me a discounted rate of $110/pp/night and I'm staying 5 days/4 nights at that rate. That just made more sense to me. I'm heading down in a month!
