6. Beach

Dreaming of an idyllic beach wedding in the Caribbean.

I’m with you, it’s such a gorgeous part of the world.

The beach at Planet Hollywood resort is exactly what you’ve been dreaming of.

Just look at the fine sand…

Decided that a beach ceremony is not for you?

No problem, you can still sample the relaxed vibe at the beach bar.

The service is excellent and the view’s pretty good too!

Keeping it real, there is some seaweed around but the hotel clears it away.

So, you get a lovely clean beach.

Here’s a quick tip…

Be prepared for the beach to be breezy sometimes.

I actually love this because it stops the heat from being too much.

7. Food & Drink

I’m super impressed with the local emphasis the resort has when it comes to food.

Planet Hollywood uses local produce in its restaurants, as much as possible.

It also gives surplus food and leftovers to local farmers for their livestock.

You may be thinking that’s great but is the food any good?

Yes, dining at the resort is a delight and you’ll love the international menu options.

How indulgent and amazing is that?
