6. Beach
There’s a stunning stretch of white sand beach at this resort.
And, there’s plenty of shade from tropical palms.
So, you can spend time relaxing in comfort.
Keeping it real…
This part of Mexico is badly affected by seaweed and it can be a problem at the Azul Beach Resort.
Put simply, this isn’t the best choice of resort if a pristine beach is the main attraction for you.
This doesn’t mean you can’t use the beach as the resort team does its best to clear the seaweed away.
But, there may be times when the beach isn’t the best place to be.
So, you should be prepared.

9. What Brides and Grooms Said
“Tuesday 5/10 before the wedding, I did the bridal fun party for my 2 girls and I… we had a great time, then we got massages and pedicures from Isamar, Rociso , and Greysi. All three ladies were absolutely wonderful. We had a full spread of mimosas, sandwiches, fruit, and cheeses during the morning it was great.”
MelissaG
“We recently got married on the Sky Deck at Azul Beach Riviera Cancun and it was absolutely amazing!! Asley and the wedding planning team were very responsive and helpful throughout the entire process! They put together an amazing week and night for our family and friends that were able to make it. The resort itself was a great place to have a wedding and a week of fun with family and friends.”
Evan F
“We were here for our wedding the week of May 19, 2021, through the 25th and had the best time. Everyone was amazing at this resort. The staff were all genuinely nice and accommodating. The wedding coordinators were wonderful and had great attention to detail.”

10. Why We Like It (Pros/Cons)
We love making wedding dreams come true for couples.
So, we only ever recommend resorts and experiences we trust.
And, we’re always completely honest.
In the case of Azul Beach Resort, the PlayaDelCarmen.Com team especially loves:
- The totally gorgeous Sky Wedding Deck, it’s breathtaking.
- Amazing inclusions and entertainment for toddlers, kids, and teens.
- Separate accommodation spaces for families and adults only.
- It’s super close to the airport so there’s no long journey once your flight lands.
Now for the downside…
The seaweed can definitely be a problem at this resort.
October to April is the best time to stay at the resort to avoid the worst of it.
But, it may still be an issue.
The good news is that there are six outdoor pools where you can hang out instead.
And, don’t forget the other activities you and your wedding party can enjoy.
