FAQs

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

We would love for you to dress up with us! Beach Formal attire requested. While the reception takes place in the venue gardens (so no sand mishaps!), we kindly ask that you leave your shorts, flip-flops, and t-shirts behind. Let's keep it classy by the shore!

Question

Will the wedding be indoor or outdoor?

Answer

Both the ceremony and reception will be outdoor. It will be warm during the day and chilly in the evening. We recommend bringing a light jacket for the evening.

Question

Do I need a passport?

Answer

✈️ If you are FLYING into Mexico, you WILL need a passport. 🚗 If you are DRIVING across the border, you do NOT need a passport or passcard, but it is recommended. 🚶🏻 If you are parking in the US and WALKING across the border, you do NOT need a passport or passcard, but it is recommended. If you do NOT have a passport/passcard and are driving or walking across, you will need both your birth certificate and an ID/license. If you do not have a passport, prepare your passport as soon as possible, processing times are severely delayed this year (3 months). If you already have a passport, don't forget to double check it does not expire within 6 months of your travel dates. Passports that expire within 6 months before traveling may be denied entry into Mexico.

Can I stay somewhere else?

Answer

Absolutely! There are many other hotels, Airbnb, and rentals in the area. See the TRAVEL page for our recommended options.

Question

Are Ubers available in Mexico?

Answer

YES! They are available through the regular Uber app. There are also many taxis driving around as an alternative that are cash only. The front desk at any of the hotels recommended can also assist with calling a taxi for you.

Question

What are the suggested travel dates?

Answer

This decision is completely up to you! We suggest Friday, Sept 20th to Sunday Sept 22nd (Monday Sept 23 if you want to avoid border traffic). We will be staying longer, Sept 19th - Sept 24, as will several other guests, so feel free to lengthen your stay and join us while vacationing in Mexico.

Question

Do I need to rent a car?

Answer

No. We suggest not renting a car. There are taxis/Uber available everywhere.

Question

Is it safe to drink tap water?

Answer

Please stick to bottled water. Most restaurants and hotels will offer bottled water, and we recommend bringing a few bottles for your room. Calimax (grocery store) is down the street to purchase some as well.

Question

How is cell service in the area? Any advice?

Answer

Most cellular plans work well and will allow you to get service through TELCEL. Please make sure you know what your international coverage is for your service provider. We recommend downloading WhatsApp in case you don't have service. Wi-Fi is available at the hotel.

Question

What currency should I bring?

Answer

We recommend bringing cash or withdrawing pesos from the ATM once you arrive. You will need US cash or local currency for payment of services such as taxis and gratuities, as not all take credit card. Using pesos will get you the best pricing due to exchange rates, but is not required since the US dollar is widely accepted in Baja California. Please be aware of international fees with certain transactions. You can check the exchange rate online for current exchange rates.
