Question
What is Included?
Answer
The resort is all inclusive. This means it will include breakfast (located at the buffet, or in room service), lunch (at the buffet, the pool grill, or in room service) and dinner (at any restaurant located at the resort, the buffet, or in room service). There are 5 on-site restaurants: Italian, Mexican, Japanese, Fusion, and a Steakhouse. There is a coffee cafe/bakery, a 24-hour food service spot, and multiple bars throughout the resort. They will refill the mini fridge and alcohol dispensers in your room daily. All food, drinks, and alcohol are included.
Question
Can I Stay Less Than 3 Nights?
Answer
Unfortunately, the resort requires all wedding guests to stay a minimum of 3 nights.
Question
Can I Stay at a Different Resort?
Answer
We are required to have our guests stay at this specific RIU. If this is something that will not work for you we can try and make other arrangements with you, but you must let us know ASAP and you will need to purchase a day pass for the resort the day of the wedding.
Question
Are There Any Additional Costs To Be Aware Of?
Answer
We recommend bringing around $100 per person in US dollar bills to use as tips. A single dollar is a very good tip in this area and will guarantee you the very best service from the staff. There might be a small "Municipal Environmental Sanitation Tax" when checking in to the resort. This tax is approximately $2.50/night.
Question
Do I Need To Convert My Money To Pesos?
Answer
Not necessarily. I recommend bringing tips in US dollar bills. There is a currency exchange in the lobby if you want to make purchases with pesos. Most of the shops take credit cards and I recommend using a card with no foreign transaction fees.
Question
What Is The Dress Code?
Answer
The ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception will all take place outside, so please dress for warm weather! Tropical chic or resort formal. Think bright colors, light flowy fabrics, tropical or floral prints, and linen. Please no jeans or swimsuits!
Question
Is Mexico Safe?
Answer
The resort our wedding is being hosted at is very safe and located in a gated community of resorts. You will have a shuttle that will pick you up at the airport and take you directly to the resort. Both Connor and Grace have stayed at this resort before and they had no concerns for their safety while there.
Question
Do I need a passport?
Answer
Yes, a passport is required to enter Mexico from the US.
Question
Do I need a visa?
Answer
As a U.S. citizen, you do not need a visa to visit Mexico for tourism, business, or short-term visits of up to 180 days. When flying into Mexico as a U.S. citizen, you are required to complete a Forma Migratoria Múltiple (FMM), commonly known as a tourist card. This document is essential for entry and must be retained for your departure. It will be given to you either on the plane or at immigration. They have started to do these virtually as well. Please keep this document with your passport for the flight home.
Question
Is there wifi/cell service?
Answer
The entire resort has free wifi. Some US cellular plans allow usage in Mexico without an additional fee but you will need to check your plan.
Question
Can I Bring A Plus One?
Answer
While we would love for all of our friends and family to be able to attend, the resort has a very strict attendance limit for our wedding. Your invitation envelope will clearly state who is included in our guest count for the wedding, cocktail hour, and reception. However, if you would like to bring extra people to enjoy the vacation and resort, we would love that!
Question
Are Kids Invited?
Answer
Although we love your little ones, our wedding will be an adult-only celebration.
Question
How do I find out about events the resort hosts?
Answer
Download the RIU app to see the daily schedule of resort activities. There are activities by the pool, nightly shows, live music, and parties.

If you have any dietary restrictions, please add them when RSVPing.
