Non-resort option in Cancun????

truchis · April 30, 2012

Hi all, I am having such a hard time deciding/finding a place for my possible May 2013 wedding. I really love the glass catholic chapel at the Gran Caribe Real in Cancun. However, I am searching for a non-resort option for the reception. Does anyone have any suggestions, ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks : )

Hi there,

If you appreciate historic architecture, I would highly recommend checking out Hacienda la Esperanza http://www.olx.com.mx/en/hacienda-la-esperanza-countries-cancun-iid-120565155 and its neighboring property, Las Marias (which is similar but not nearly as grand). Esperanza is just gorgeous. One of our coordinators, Nallely Tamayo Ruiz, and her contact Pablo at Gourmet Events showed us around the property. We were reeeallly close to booking it, but we simply couldn't manage with our budget (our intimate destination wedding has ballooned into a 150+ person affair). Let me know if you're interested and I can put you in touch with Nallely!

Thank you, Essandpea,

The place does look beautiful!!! The only thing is, it doesn't have a beach view or access does it?

Thanks again for your suggestion!!

Nope, no beach access, unfortunately :-(. That's the trade-off! When we were considering it, we imagined doing the welcome dinner the night before on the beach, then dinner and dancing at the hacienda. Then back to the beach the day after to unwind -- best of both worlds :-)

Hello Truchis,

Playa Del Carmen, has so many non resorts beach location for your reception, you might consider this and they are also some lovely chapel you could use for your ceremony.
