Playacar Palace (PDC) AI

[TammyWright]

Located steps away from the laidback charms of Playa del Carmen, Playacar Palace indulge a range of desires for you who wants it all. You just need to set foot on the pristine beach at this beautiful, newly renovated hotel to discover the true heart of the Riviera Maya, populated thousand of years ago by civilizations whose remains still remind us of its uniqueness. Rejoice at this modern retreat! Exchange privileges at select Palace Resorts.

 

Only good for small weddings. Does not have abilitiy for private events.

I have tried to contact Playacar palaca for wedding information and never got a reply. I'd like to have a wedding there. I would like something informal and short. Any idea how I can get information?

[TammyWright]

send me your email...i might have some pics...i think they are only limited to small weddings and no private reception (you can have one in restuarant)

Does anyone have any current information on guest limits for Playacar Palace? I like this resort do to its small size, but I have a feeling we may have more than 25 guests. Thanks for any info.

[PaulaV]

I just stayed here for my honeymoon.

I believe they still have a small limit of about 20-25 for weddings.

The largest restaurant is their Italian one and it would accommodate a few parties of that size a night.

 

The good thing is you are very close to Avenida 5 where all the night action takes place. The first night we were there everything at the hotel was empty!

The next night we went to Ave 5 and realized that is where everyone was

 

My dissappointment with PP, and I knew that before we booked, is there is there is no beach. There are stairs by the pool where you used to be able to go down to the beach.

During the day everyone seems to hang out at the pool, chairs are all claimed quite early, then evenings people are out in PDC.

 

It was a very nice resort, but very different from where we got married.

[Fraggle]

Hi! I am actually planning my wedding at PP. I have about 70 guests, and we are having the reception in the banquet room. They would have accomadeted us outside however there was a 9pm cut off, and we wanted to party later :-) They have been excellent to work with. If you want additional information I would be happy to help.

[ccone]

Hey! I'm also thinking about having my wedding at PP but I would probably have between 70-100 guests and am very confused about the maximum number of people. I want to have a private reception inside and also have a private rehersal dinner. On the website it says that if you book more than 25 rooms with them then you get free private functions and I was wondering if this meant my reception and rehersal dinner? have you heard anything about this?

[echraide]

Has anyone learned anything more recently? I know its been a while
