9. What Brides Said…

“We hosted our wedding week here. Karen Suarez & Cecilia Pozos were our main points of contact for the wedding details and group reservations. They were both incredible. We started planning several months in advance and they were both very easy to reach through mail and Phone. We were checked up on from time to time in the planning phase just to make sure we didn’t need anything further. Once we arrived the entire staff were amazing and Karen and Cecilia remained present and helpful. The beauty of the resort combined with the amazing staff made our time here the best four days of our lives.”

Shiva S

My partner and I just recently got married at the Grand Hyatt Playa Del Carmen. I have not a single thing to say in a negative way. We have been a few times to the resort (which were also great experiences) but this visit was beyond expectations.

We had 60 guests stay at the resort with us and Grand Hyatt did everything we could have asked for and more to accommodate my partner and me along with all of our guests. The service by the pool for several days was spectacular. Hector and Miguel were two of the best servers and made sure we were taken care of the entire time.”
