Of all the most beautiful places on earth, only Sandals Grande Antigua has earned the title of World’s Most Romantic Resort.  Here, the magic of romance is always in the air.  Some say it comes from the perfumed gardens, others attribute it to the gentle trade winds but all agree it’s an intoxicating mixture.  Set on Dickenson Bay, the island’s best and most famous beach, this resort has always enchanted couples with its relaxed tropical charm reminiscent of a quaint Caribbean Village.  Here lovers can surround themselves in exotic rondovals with private pools, while enjoying every other possible pleasure in paradise.  And now with the addition of the new all-suite, five-star Mediterranean Village, couples can also experience a whole new side of romance—grand and impressive.  So whether you choose the Caribbean or the Mediterranean Village, now you can have the best of both worlds in a world where romance reigns supreme.

While in Cancun, I visited El Dorado Royale. On the property they have a very cute chapel. With the doors wide open one can see the ocean and beach beyond. What a wonderful way to be married, with the sounds of the ocean in the background.

Sometimes beach weddings can be too windy or hot. This property offers an alternative by having a chapel so close to the beach. Check it out for yourself then call me to book your wedding at El Dorado Royale. Website for this property is www.karismahotels.com.

If you have a large destination wedding, you can rent out the whole resort at Mi Hotelito. Intimate and beachfront. Active and relaxed. Rustic and luxurious at the same time. Luxurious, since it is small, intimate and provides outstanding services and a cuisine experience normally found at much larger hotels. Things like personalized butler service and concierge, or a champagne check in. Rustic, because it is not pretentious and was built using traditional materials and with the philosophy of embracing the bounty of the nature and the local environment. It lies directly on the beach of Maroma, considered to be one of the best beaches in the world by independent reviewers, including the Discovery Channel.With only 24 rooms, spread into two buildings, the hotel is located right next to Marina Maroma which offers Deep Sea Fishing, motor boats and a wide variety of water sports and other activities only steps away from your room. Mi Hotelito Hotel & Beach Resort entails the ingredients for an active, authentic, and luxurious Mexican vacation experience. It caters to couples and families looking for an active vacation, personalized service, exquisite cuisine, and unforgettable adventures.

Mi Hotelito lies on the Riviera Maya just 40 Minutes south of Cancun Airport, 10 minutes north of Playa del Carmen and 15 minutes from the Playacar Golf Club.
