FAQs

Question

What to wear at the wedding?

Answer

The wedding is on the beach so button up shirts, long or short sleeved, and dress shorts or light dresses/outfits are good. Please avoid wearing flip-flops or beach shoes, t-shirts, or bathing suits.

Question

How far is the resort from Cancun or Tulum airport?

Answer

Although the Tulum airport is closer to the resort it's a "1 hour" drive from both airports. However, the duration is increased by the shuttle dropping off guests at other resorts. It is likely the drive from Tulum airport would be faster, as the Cancun shuttle makes several stops along the way.

Question

What to pack?

Answer

General sunny weather clothing, sunscreen, and footwear, as well as nicer wear for restaurant dining. We also recommend bug spray and water shoes as some areas can have bugs at night, and the sand is rocky in the water.

Question

What money to bring and how much?

Answer

Mexican Pesos are always accepted, as well as USD and lastly CAD (although CAD isn't very useful in Mexico). Ensure you purchase currency before travelling. Tips vary by person, but generally you'll be tipping $10-20 per day, so take that into account when purchasing currency. Once at the resort you won't need to purchase anything, besides shopping items or upgrades, which can be done with card.
