An adults only, all inclusive beach resort near Cancun, with three ceremony spots and ready wedding packages.
The Setting
Excellence Riviera Cancun sits on the Caribbean coast between Cancun and Playa del Carmen, near Puerto Morelos, about 20 minutes from Cancun International Airport. It is adults only, for guests 18 and over, and everything is included, from the 13 dining options to the bars and lounges.
Every room is a suite, from ocean view and rooftop terrace suites to swim up and private pool options, set among tropical gardens with six pools and direct access to the beach. The Miilé Spa rounds it off. For couples who want their guests looked after without a spreadsheet, this is the easy way to do a beach wedding with friends.
The day itself
There are three ceremony spots: a stone gazebo, a gazebo on the beach and the pier. Afterwards, the reception and cocktails can move to Garibaldi Square, Agave, Las Olas, the beach, the ballroom or the X Lounge. The wedding team can add flowers, photography, video, a DJ or live band, romantic beach dinners and even fireworks. The resort tells us it hosts weddings of up to 200 guests. Ask the team about capacities for each space, how many weddings run each day and whether your ceremony will be legal or symbolic.
Where your guests stay
Guests stay in suites on site, and the wedding packages assume they will. The Everlasting Memories package is built around a guest list of up to 30, all staying on site, and the Lovebirds package comes free once your wedding party books 20 paid room nights. Days fill easily with the six pools, the beach and couples treatments at Miilé Spa. Cancun International is about 20 minutes away, and the resort offers deluxe airport transfers. Children cannot stay, so families with little ones will need another plan nearby.
Share the booking details with guests early. Once your party reaches 20 paid room nights, the Lovebirds package comes free.
