Our Dream Wedding

The coordinators and staff ensured our wedding day was perfect. They were friendly and responsive to our requests. We had a beach wedding the poolside patio reception with the tropical buffet. Staff set up all of the chairs so we'd have an amazing view of the ocean. Guests really enjoyed the food and being able to enjoy the sunset while they dined. There was plenty of room for dancing and our bartender did a great job with the cocktails. We highly recommend them!

Unforgettable wedding experience

Planning a destination wedding can be stressful, but Ivana the hotel correspondent really helped eased my mind. Her and Anita are awesome. She responded to all of my emails. My guest are still raving about our wedding and can’t wait to return to the hotel. The food was awesome and cooked to perfection. The chef even came out and check with us and our guest to make sure everything was good. I used a wedding day coordinator through the hotel. Ali did an amazing job helping my vision come to pass. Everything was perfect. The weather was perfect and the hotel staff was awesome. The hotel breakfast was good too.
