Cancun/PDC Hotels with Beach Receptions?

[lm3682]

Hi

Tried searching on this topic but obviously "beach" and "reception" are in almost every thread. So I'm seeking AI's in Cancun or PDC that offer beach dinner receptions or at a minimum an outdoor reception (i.e. under a palapa but still open-air). I will likely have a large group (80 or so). I really don't want to do a reception in a ballroom or one of the specialty restaurants that are all air-conditioned. I did have Ajua Weddings price out a beach reception that was not at a hotel but it was crazy expensive (the open bar alone was about $80pp)

Does anyone know which hotels offer these and more importantly, did you have your reception there?

Thanks!

I know that the Royal and Gran Porto Real in PDC are AI, and a beach/garden reception is around $50-60 a person. Thats 4 course dinner and open bar. I'm pretty sure the Royal in Cancun is the same.
