What should I wear to the wedding?
Please dress formally for the wedding. Think beachy, but elegant.
What do we do about transportation in Mexico?

What is the weather like? What should we pack?
Playa del Carmen, Mexico is typically hot and humid during the summer months -- temperatures are usually in the high 80s to 90s. We recommend bringing light summer clothing and swimsuits. Other helpful essentials include sunblock, inset repellent, water shoes, swim coverups, flip-flops, sunglasses, etc. Think beach vacation with beach elegant attire for the Wedding Day and beach chic attire for dinners on the other nights during your stay.

Is there a dress code at the restaurants?
Yes some restaurants will require a dress code, click here for more info on those details.
Can I drink the water in Mexico?
Stick to bottled water only -- while the hotel's water system is filtered in the rooms, I still do not suggest drinking it. The water served at the restaurants and bars is safe to drink. But DO NOT drink water from the faucet or showers. This goes for all the parks as well -- stick to drinking bottled water and you will be fine.
Do I need to take a Covid-19 test to enter or leave Mexico?
No, there is currently no requirement to take a test prior to entering or departing Mexico.
Is Mexico Safe?
Mexico is very safe, but like all places you travel to, you must always have awareness and make smart decisions. Do NOT travel to areas away from the tourist zones, stick to the resort grounds or excursions/parks. Always try to have a partner with you when you go somewhere - be it on excursions, going off-site or walking around in the evening. The resort is extremely safe and secure, but like all places, be mindful and aware of your surroundings at all times. Understand that an all-inclusive resort, people are often drinking all day long.
Do I need to wear my mask and practice social distancing?
The people and government of Quintana Roo have their own set of rules when it comes to following Covid-safe practices to help thwart the spread of the virus in the area. Please be mindful of others and the resort's policies as they often change. Some resort staff and employees may be wearing masks and/or shields in an effort to keep themselves and all guests safe. There are hand sanitizing stations and bathrooms for washing hands throughout the resort, so please use them consistently. Please be respectful of the Mexican government and local people's primary focus on staying Covid safe and healthy.
