10. Why We Like It
At PlayaDelCarmen.Com we pride ourselves on only selling the hotels and resort we love and trust with your special day.
A destination wedding is a big deal!
We’re simply here to give honest advice, guide you through the process and make sure you and your group have an incredible time.
For me, and the team, the highlights of this resort are:
- The Elegance Club suites, especially the rooftop plunge pool option.
- International cuisine across eight very different restaurant experiences.
- The stunning Sky Wedding Gazebo for the most amazing wedding images you could wish for.
The one downside of this resort is the lack of family-friendly options.
Around 70% of the accommodation is 18+, and there are no activities specifically for younger guests.
But on the plus side, it works brilliantly if some of your guests plan on bringing their kids and want to stay at the same resort as the rest of the group.
There’s plenty of excursion and things to do in the area to keep everyone busy.
