How much does it cost to stay at Wyndham Alltra Cancun?
The average cost of staying at this resort is $260 – $340 per night.
The actual cost of your stay depends on when you travel and which accommodation you choose.
6. Beach
There is a small stretch of white sand beach at the resort where you can sit and enjoy stunning views across the Caribbean Sea.
There’s also a beach bar with swings, chairs, and cabanas.
However, the beach isn’t the main attraction at Wyndham Alltra Playa Del Carmen due to its diminutive size and the fact that it’s rocky in places.
This area of the Caribbean is also particularly bad for seaweed issues which can make the beach unusable at times.
But, don’t panic…
The pool area at the resort is the perfect alternative to spending time on the sand.
I’d also recommend having a read of my blog post for more info about dealing with seaweed issues in this part of the world.

7. Food & Drink
You and your wedding guests get to savor an array of international dining adventures at this resort.
And each eatery you explore has dishes made from fresh local produce.

You don’t need to worry at Wyndham Alltra Playa Del Carmen.

There’s a fully equipped fitness center where you can work out.
I’d like to give a special shout-out to the Aura Spa.
It’s such a tranquil and relaxing space.
Why not indulge yourself with a massage or a chocolate body wrap as part of the lead-up to your wedding?
There’s also an excellent hydrotherapy area where you and your bridal party can spend some chill time.
Is there anything to do outside of Wyndham Alltra Playa Del Carmen?
There’s an excellent selection of things to do inside the resort.
And, you’re also close to the lively vibe of Fifth Avenue.
But, I’d still recommend you venture further afield and see as much as you can of this gorgeous part of the world.
We’ll arrange tours and activities for you and your wedding guests.
And, we’ll put our local contacts to use getting you the best possible bang for your buck.
One activity I always recommend to wedding groups is the Traveler’s Table Food and Drink Tour.
It’s an incredible dining experience at an exclusive beach club just outside of Playa del Carmen.
You get to savor the flavors and techniques of Mexican cuisine from the time of the Mayan empire right up to the present day.
The whole experience of this five-course meal accompanied by mezcals, tequilas, and lots of great stories, is a lot of fun.
And, it’s the perfect way to spend time with your wedding guests.
While I’m on the subject of group time during your celebrations, I have a tip for you.
Don’t be too pushy about trying to organize everything for people.
Doing this can be a big mistake as most people want some space to do their own thing.

9. What Brides and Grooms Said
“The ceremony was very lovely, we chose the gazebo for our location. It was right on the beach. The cocktail hour and reception were on the beach and everyone really enjoyed it. I would definitely recommend having a wedding here. All of the organization was finalized before we even got to Mexico. Very low-stress experience.”
Suzanne F
“I don’t even know where to begin. First of all, all the staff is amazing. Sergio and Nolberto (entertainment) were incredible. They remembered everything. They both called me “The Bride” for the whole week, I requested songs and they remembered which ones I wanted, just so nice. Julio, he’s a bellman, he went up to Bella and walked my father-in-law back to the hotel. I can’t say enough about the staff. So friendly and attentive. They made sure everything is right. The food was so good, 24 hr room service, they decorated our room for 2 nights AFTER the wedding. I can’t wait to go back for our anniversary next year.”
