The Royal in Playa del Carmen was my favorite because the room was gorgeous and the food was amazing. The Valentin's rooms weren't as nice and the food wasn't as good but the grounds and the pool were gorgeous. Hope this helps :-)

 

Thank you very much for your input! I was also thinking Excellence Playa Mujeres as a honeymoon after all our guests leave and before we head back home. Has anyone stayed there?

I have not been there yet - we are moving there for our honeymoon after our guests leave.  I have 2 friends that have been there and they have both gone on and on about the service and how beautiful it is.  I can't wait to check it out myself!

has anyone gotten group rates/discounts on airfare?  i am waiting to hear back from my travel agent regarding what she will do for us but i've spoken directly to us airways, delta and american airlines and all of there groups seem unflexible and a lot of work on my part (or my TA's part)... why can't i just get a group discount code from the airline for flights?

 

also.... has anyone booked their flights yet?? not sure if we should do it now or wait.....

Hey Allie,

 

I have not found it advantageous to pursue airline group rates especially since I have a small group flying from 6 different airports and on different carriers.

 

While I have been stalking airfare to get a sense of pricing, we don’t anticipate purchasing airfare until September.  Gas prices tend to drop around this time which will likely impact airfare (hopefully lower). And I’ve always heard that the best time to purchase international airfare is 6-8 months prior to your trip and based on my experience this seems to be accurate.
