Located 45 minutes south of the Cancun airport, and 10 minutes north of Playa’s famed 5th Avenue, this adults only tropical oasis is the new standard for couples wanting the ultimate wow factor for their destination wedding experience. The minute you gaze out over the resort from the open air lobby, you know you’ve stepped into something unique and special. With multiple pool areas, including several private cenotes, nooks and crannies, there is always a perfect spot to socialize, or retreat to. And of course, there’s always the gorgeous, natural, palm tree dotted beach to lounge on. Oh, the beach, how we love you!
 
Rooms – splurge for the Preferred Club! Only Preferred Club guests get access to the rooftop Observatory which includes a private restaurant and infinity pool with panoramic views. All rooms are designed with a modern, earthy flair. Conveniences are well thought out and include master control panels, a secret room service delivery box, and tablet loaded with resort information.
 
Staff – very attentive and full of genuine Mexican hospitality. Waiters are engaging and knowledgeable about the food they are serving. Bartenders are fun and full of energy. The wedding team brings years of planning experience having come (often in pairs or groups) from other resorts. You can tell that the staff is being led, from the general manger on down, by a team that demands exceptional service.
 
Food – a journey across the globe. With chefs trained in the destinations they represent, each restaurant has a menu, presentation and décor to make you feel like you’re been transported.

If you thought a crowded aircraft was bad – just wait until you get into a shared transfer. Here are 6 reasons to take advantage of a private transfer the next time you’re traveling:

No Waiting
Wouldn’t it be great if after hours of flying, you could just hop into a vehicle and drive straight to your hotel without the hassle? Well, with a private transfer, you can. No need to wait in line for what may seem like forever for everyone to load into the bus. With a private transfer, the focus is on you. So, when you’re ready to go, you’ll go.
 
Non-Stop Drive
A private transfer allows you to head straight to the hotel with no interruptions. And unlike a shared transfer, a private ride doesn’t make three stops along the way and waste your precious vacation time. Trust us – we know every minute counts!
 
Easy Check-In
We know the last thing you want to do after traveling all day is wait in yet another line with all of your luggage. A private transfer allows you to arrive on your own time – not in a large crowd where everyone is trying to check into their rooms at once.
 
Easy Check-Out
Just like check-in, checking out of your hotel should run just as smoothly. This is because you’re running on your own schedule and no one else’s. It also makes the process more enjoyable and stress-free since you’ll receive undivided attention from the driver.
 
Personal Attention
With a private transfer, you’ll actually feel important at the airport because there’s someone waiting for you and excited to take care of you the moment you arrive. Afterall, who doesn’t like being a little spoiled from time-to-time?
 
Great Experience
On top of all the great reasons we just mentioned, having a private transfer really is the perfect way to start and end a vacation. Not only is it nice to know your transportation is taken care of, but it gives you peace of mind in knowing someone is there to guide you so you can get the most out of your vacation.
 
We hope you consider taking a private transfer the next time you vacation! Need more info? Then, shoot us a note at hello@romancetravelgroup.com for some recommendations.
