Yes, it's an all-inclusive resort with many restaurants and bars to choose from. Although certain food and drinks that are considered high end or top shelf may require payment.
The tipping culture in Mexico is big. A US dollar goes a long way, and workers are very appreciative of receiving tips. Typically, many will tip a dollar or two or more depending on the service after receiving a drink or meal. It's not technically required, but it is very common to do so. We recommend bringing some cash to tip.
We advise something light, colorful and comfortable. Weather permitting, both the wedding and reception will be held outside. The weather may be warm during the day and cool at night due to the proximity of the ocean. Also, please wear comfortable shoes to dance in!

No, Cancún is very touristy and a high percentage of its citizens speak perfect English and other languages. The majority of workers at the resort speaks English, but It never hurts to know some Spanish. If you do encounter someone that does not speak English or doesn’t speak it well, please be patient with them. We will be in a country where Spanish is the official language.
There is a store located at the resort, though in typical hotel fashion, items are more expensive there. There is a pharmacy that is located across the street with more affordable items for purchase.
