With Mexico being one of the best destinations for weddings, we decided to round up 5 of our favorite resorts that cater to both you and your guests with children.
1. Generations Riviera Maya
​
Conveniently located 25 minutes from the airport and downtown Cancun, Generations Resort is comfortably nestled on the beautiful shores of the Riviera Maya. The luxurious all-inclusive resort offers everything from gourmet cuisine, to infinity pool balcony suites and excellent butler service. It’s also just steps away from neighboring resort, El Dorado Royale, an adults-only sanctuary where Generations adult guests can visit at any time. How sweet is that?

2. The Grand at Moon Palace

This dreamy beachfront resort boasts everything from a state-of-the-art spa, exciting tours and excursions, golf outings, and live entertainment. It also offers numerous customization packages and enhancements, making it perfect for those couples looking for a fun and intimate wedding. You’ll also experience a perfect mix of elegant luxury and laid-back fun with the entire family.
 
3. Royalton Riviera Cancun

Royalton Riviera Cancun’s “All-In” luxury features elegantly styled suites, world-class dining, and exceptional amenities. It’s designed to accommodate guests of all ages and is comprised of three sections: the lively general resort area, the exclusive Diamond Club area and Hideaway, an elegant adults-only oasis. And kids get ready! Royalton’s Kids Adventure program will surely knock your socks off!
 
4. Hard Rock Riviera Maya

Be prepared to be greeted with stunning tropical views, a private white-sand beach, and legendary Hard Rock Hotel hospitality at this show-stopping resort. Bring the family along for some fun, or escape to Heaven, the adults-only retreat for a bit of added luxury. This fine property has a strong draw for not only its Complimentary Wedding Package, but the numerous unique activities, like the Music Lab, Woodward Skatepark, and a climbing wall, to name a few! 
 
 5. Azul Beach Riviera Cancun

Known for its Gourmet Inclusive Experience on a grand scale, this multi-generational Karisma resort has mastered the art of luxury and service. Here, the entire family can anticipate a variety of excitement and adventure, or relax on the beach to your heart’s content. Kids have plenty to do between the Nickelodeon Experience, cooking classes, and large variety of programming, so need not worry about them! The adults will enjoy some fun of their own, whether it be at one of their 8 world-renowned restaurants, splashing around on Azul Beach, or unwinding completely at Vassa Spa. Sounds like the perfect wedding spot to us!  
 
 We hope you find that one of these beautiful properties suit not only your wedding needs, but the needs of your loved ones as well. Questions? We’ve got you covered! Ready to start planning? Fill in our destination wedding questionnaire and we'll be in touch!

Real Wedding: Marci & Chris's Destination Wedding

Riu Palace Cabo ~ October 2018 ~ Photographer Website: Nikki B Photography ~ Photographer Facebook: Nikki B Photography
I began planning my wedding two years in advance with Romance Travel Group. Shelli was wonderful to work with from the start and got the ball rolling right away.  I was also pleased that Shelli never tried to change my mind, or sell me on a different hotel.  At that time, the hotel had not yet began officially booking wedding dates for 2018 but Shelli put me in contact with my wedding coordinator right away, and helped me negotiate an excellent rate. Shelli, and now Heather also, answered every email I sent. Even when I received an out of the office email, I would quickly receive a response from them as well. I made lots of mistakes in relaying information for my large party and the two of them always corrected it without seeming the slightest bit inconvenienced.  As the big day got closer, Shelli and Heather double checked with me to make sure I was in touch with the florist and the spa at the resort.  Romance Travel was like an extra bonus set of wedding coordinators. They also sent gifts and swag a couple times along the way which I thought was really sweet!

Fast forward 2 years, my husband, 18 of our friends and family members, and I trekked on down to the Riu Palace in Cabo. It was a beautiful resort. The wedding ceremony and the service were better than I ever could have dreamed. I spent months and months before obsessing over details and planning, but none of that was really necessary. The setting by itself is beautiful, and the staff there is really skilled at putting on a great wedding. Romance Travel Group had assisted with our airport transportation, and when we arrived we were offered a private special transportation as the bride and groom, and then upon arrival at the hotel, were given an upgraded room (better view) on the 4th floor. The food was excellent, the staff was wonderful. Unrelated to Shelli, there were a few hiccups in the room and the return transportation back to the hotel; however the Riu staff and Amstar staff corrected them without much effort on my part. 

Hair, make-up and photography were provided by guests of the wedding and there was no additional hassle for that either (Thank you Tiffany Gunia and Nikki B Photography). Alaska Airlines was also wonderful in arranging a group discount code for my guests and rescheduling flights as needed. Great Customer service all around! While in Cabo we went on an “Outdoor Adventure” excursion with Cabo Adventures, a Migrino Beach ATV tour with Amigo Tours, and a glass bottom boat tour with Roger’s Boat Tours. All were wonderful. My husband said to me “We do one thing that is fun, and then the next thing is even better.” All of my guests had a really great time in Cabo and I could not have pulled this off without the help of Romance Travel Group. I sincerely recommend them for booking any kind of travel and hope to use them for future travel plans as well!

Many Thanks!
