Questions & Answers

Placeholder answers below — swap in your finalized FAQ content anytime.

What should I wear to the ceremony?+
The ceremony is on the beach, so think elegant but breezy. Lightweight fabrics and flats or wedges (heels sink in sand!) are your friends. We'll share a color palette closer to the date.
How do I book my room?+
Add your booking instructions here — travel agent contact, group rate code, and deadline to reserve at the group price.
Do I need a passport?+
Yes — all U.S. guests need a valid passport for travel to Mexico. Make sure it's valid for at least six months beyond your travel dates.
Is the resort all-inclusive?+
Yes. Meals, drinks, and most amenities are included across all three resort sections. Add any specifics guests should know here.
What's the weather like in December?+
Warm and sunny — highs in the mid-80s°F with cooler evenings. Pack sunscreen, a hat, and a light layer for nighttime.
Can I bring my kids?+
Add your answer here. The Generations section is family-friendly, while El Dorado Royale and Casitas are adults-focused.
