Planning a destination wedding is exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming at times. That’s where we come in! At Romance Travel Group, our job is to take away the stress and help you find the perfect all-inclusive resort for your big day. One of our favorite recommendations for couples looking for a gorgeous setting that won’t break the bank is Sandos Playacar in Playa del Carmen.
The Perfect Spot in Riviera Maya
Sandos Playacar is tucked inside a private gated community in Playa del Carmen, a lively beach town full of culture, charm, and nightlife. You’ll love its location right on a wide stretch of white-sand beach with turquoise Caribbean waters as your backdrop. The Cancun airport is less than an hour away, which makes travel easy for you and your guests. Plus, with Mayan ruins, shopping, and authentic dining nearby, there’s plenty to explore beyond the resort.
A Resort That Blends Relaxation and Fun
This property has something for everyone. Stroll through the lush gardens, enjoy the mini eco-park, or spend the day hopping between the resort’s nine pools. If you’re craving relaxation, the spa is waiting for you. Want a little adventure? Head into Playa’s famous 5th Avenue for an evening out. Sandos Playacar truly balances tranquility with energy, giving you the best of both worlds.
Rooms and Dining You’ll Love
Whether you’re keeping it simple or looking for an upgraded experience, Sandos Playacar has you covered. Rooms range from cozy standards to spacious suites, and the Select Club Adults Only section offers extras like oceanfront views and exclusive amenities.
Foodies will be happy here! With a variety of international restaurants, there’s always something new to try. Enjoy a casual buffet breakfast at Festival, or opt for a romantic Brazilian dinner at Fogo de Janeiro. And with 24-hour room service, late-night cravings are never a problem.
Gorgeous Beach and Pools
The beach is an absolute showstopper! The powdery sand and clear water create the perfect backdrop for wedding photos—and plenty of relaxation time, too. Prefer the pool scene? You’ll find options for everyone, including an adults-only pool and jacuzzis for ultimate downtime with a cocktail in hand.

The heart of Sandos Playacar is its wedding experience. Couples can choose from three incredible venues:
- The Beach – A classic, with the sound of the waves as a backdrop.
- The Secret Garden – A tropical, romantic spot surrounded by lush greenery.
- The Lobby Terrace – A chic poolside option that’s perfect for an elegant evening celebration.
No matter which you choose, the resort also provides backup options in case of weather so your day runs smoothly.
