And the beach cabanas are perfect for hanging out with your bridal party.

This may not be the biggest stretch of sand in the area but it’s no less attractive as a result.
One quick heads up…
This beach is not the best for swimming due to its rocky shores.
But the resort’s pools are perfect for a dip.
You may also come across some seaweed but the resort team works hard to clear it away.

9. What Brides Said…
“We hosted our wedding last weekend at Generations for about 90 guests. Everyone had an amazing time! The staff went above and beyond, not only to make our wedding perfect but to make every moment memorable. I’m blown away by the level of service from every single person we met. Moises was my on-site wedding coordinator and he was incredibly responsive and sweet. Entertainment staff Omar, Sofia, and Anaid were full of energy and had our whole group involved and having a great time throughout our trip. There were so many servers and bartenders that were amazing and attentive. The dedication to keeping the resort clean and safe was reassuring. Highly recommend this hotel for large groups.”
Katie
“We had our destination wedding here on March 29, 2019, and it was everything we had hoped for and more! We had close to 65 guests attend (family, friends, and children) and were given the royal treatment. We had access to the adjoining adults-only properties for restaurants and bars. We were upgraded to a suite that was bigger than our current apartment. Most of our guests were also upgraded to swim-up rooms as a courtesy. The rooms were amazing, the food was delicious/fresh and the wedding was a thing of dreams! All of our family and friends still rave about the resort and ask us when we’ll plan our next trip there.”
