Answer

No, however, the resort requires guests who are not staying at Secrets Vallarta Bay or Dreams Vallarta Bay to purchase a day/event pass to attend the wedding. The current fee is $175 per person. While we wish otherwise, this requirement is established by the resort and applies to all non-resort guests.

Answer

Our wedding celebration will take place by the beautiful shores of Puerto Vallarta, so we invite guests to dress in Beach Business Casual attire. Think polished and comfortable, with fabrics and styles suited for warm tropical weather. Suggested attire: Sundresses, midi dresses, jumpsuits, or dressy separates Collared shirts, linen shirts, polos, slacks, chinos, or dress shorts Lightweight jackets, sport coats, or blazers are welcome but not required Breathable fabrics such as linen, cotton, and lightweight blends are encouraged Wedges, sandals, loafers, dress shoes, and other comfortable footwear suitable for walking on resort grounds Please avoid: Swimwear or cover-ups Athletic wear, gym attire, or flip-flops Ripped jeans or overly casual clothing While we'd love for everyone to look festive for our celebration, comfort is key. October and November in Puerto Vallarta are typically quite warm, so light and breathable attire is recommended. Feel free to embrace the spirit of Día de los Muertos with festive colors, floral prints, embroidered details, or subtle touches inspired by Mexican culture.🌹💀

Question

Is there anything in particular I should bring and/or bear in mind when travelling to/from Mexico?Is there anything in particular I should bring and/or bear in mind when travelling to/from Mexico?

Answer

Here are some practical tips to help ensure a smooth trip: Valid Passport: Ensure your passport is valid for the duration of your stay. While Mexico does not generally require six months' validity beyond your travel dates, it is prudent to have ample validity remaining. Return or Onward Travel Details: Keep a copy of your return flight itinerary readily available. Hotel and Contact Information: Have the address, phone number, and confirmation details for your accommodations. At the Airport / Upon Arrival: Carry a Pen. While many Mexican airports have moved to electronic immigration processes, entry and customs forms may still be required in certain situations. Customs Declaration: Be prepared to declare any goods, cash, or items subject to customs requirements. Keep Boarding Passes Handy: These are occasionally requested during arrival procedures. Money & Payments: Credit Cards: Widely accepted in major cities and tourist areas. Notify Your Bank: Consider informing your bank of your travel plans to avoid transaction interruptions. Connectivity: International Phone Plan: Confirm coverage before departure. As a practical tip upon arrival at the airport in Puerto Vallarta, proceed directly to your pre-arranged transportation or the official cab stand and avoid engaging with individuals offering free excursions, discounted tours, transportation upgrades, vacation club memberships, or timeshare opportunities within the airport. A polite but firm “No, gracias” is usually sufficient. These representatives can be persistent and may present themselves as affiliated with hotels or tourism authorities, so it is generally best to continue directly to the designated transportation pickup area.
