We fell in love with the clear turquoise waters at the Riviera Maya during our cruise on Jan. 2022. Location was key, we didn't want our guests to be sitting for a long drive after their flight to reach the resort but we also wanted a beach that wasn't over-crowded like Cancun. After some extensive research, comparing wedding packages, venues, and resort nightly rates, we decided on Dreams Sapphire, which has amazing reviews too! Dreams Sapphire is a AAA Four Diamond awarded all-inclusive family friendly resort that offers many amenities such as: gated community, all you can eat and drink, daily activities and entertainment, kid's Explorer Club daycare, Pevonia luxury spa, tennis courts, bicycle tours, 3 pools, family friendly water park with slides, free non-motorized rentals like kayaks, and more! https://www.amrcollection.com/en/resorts-hotels/dreams/mexico/sapphire-resort-spa/activities/
You are welcomed to book at another location but the Dreams Sapphire Resort does impose a $100 day pass fee to access the facility on the day of the wedding. You will also have to arrange your own transportation to and from the resort.
Yes! The resort has the Explorer's Club day care where you can check-in your child and they enjoy activities such as arts and crafts, camping beach adventure, and splash pad. Please let us know how many kids will be in attendance so we can accommodate for the dinner reception.

We encourage our guests to be fully vaccinated and tested negative of the Covid antigen before their travel but it is not mandatory. As of Dec. 2021, CDC U.S. travel requires all travelers regardless of vaccination status, to be tested for the coronavirus within one day of departure. Covid testing is not required for Mexicans. The resort offers same-day on-site Covid antigen testing for $35. At the moment, the resort is also offering free covid testing for U.S. guests staying in a Preferred Suite for a minimum of 3 nights. If the U.S. gov't drops this travel requirement, the test will no longer be offered or needed. At the resort you can expect frequently cleaned and sanitized facilities, hand sanitizer stations, staff wearing masks, and contactless options such as menus on your phone.

If your invitation says "and Guest," then yes, if not, we would prefer if it was just you.
