Question
Where Will the Ceremony and Reception be Located?
Answer
The wedding ceremony and reception are taking place at The Gazebo which overlooks the ocean. It will probably take about 15 minutes to walk there from your room, or there are golf carts available. There will not be a formal cocktail hour between the ceremony and reception but we encourage guests to grab a drink at any nearby resort bar while we take photos. There will also be ample time to return to your room to freshen up before we get our dance on! Check out this link to view a map of the resort: https://www.resortsmaps.com/map-TheFives-RivieraMaya.html The Gazebo is located at 'N' (Love Garden).

Question
What is the ECO Tax & Visitor's Tax?
Answer
ECO- Tax: In Mexican resort areas like Cancun, Playa del Carmen, and Riviera Maya, a municipal environmental sanitation tax is charged to hotel and resort guests, typically around 30-70 Mexican pesos per room, per night, and is added to your bill at check-in or check-out - approximately $14-42 Canadian dollars. Visitor's Tax: For visits to Quintana Roo, including popular destinations like Cancun, Tulum, and Playa del Carmen, foreign visitors over 15 years old must pay a mandatory tourist tax, known as VISITAX, which is approximately $24 CAD. Please see the email from our Travel Agent on how to pay this tax before you leave Mexico or visit https://www.visitax.app
