On a recent trip to Cancun, I took some time to pay a visit to resorts I have not been to before. I was very impressed by this luxury resort in Cancun, in the hotel zone. Nizuc is listed as one of the 500 best hotels in the world by Travel & Leisure. A short drive from the airport, you can lounge on the powder white sand beach, and enjoy a villa experience with a modern take on Mayan tradition.
The resort offers 2 Bars, 6 restaurants, and is an EP plan resort. There are two beaches, 1 is for adults only. The resort includes daily non-motorized activities. There are three building sections; adults-only (age 13 and up), family & villas. Each building and villas have their own butler. The furnishings are modern and pay tribute to the Mayan heritage and architecture. No detail has gone unnoticed, and natural elements surround you wherever you look.
Each villa features a private pool and can accommodate up to 4 people, 2 adults & 2 children.
Modern and natural furnishings decorate each room & villa.
A story of love, patience, and hope. Sarah & Rick had planned for their symbolic adventurous elopement in Costa Rica for April of 2020. Like many other couples, their plans changed. When it was clear that travel to Costa Rica would not be possible, their plans were postponed until August of 2020. August was quickly approaching, and their home state of Kentucky was not on the list of states that could visit Costa Rica when traveling resumed. Once again, they had to postpone their plans and were hopeful that their wedding would take place in April of 2021.
I am happy to report that they celebrated their symbolic wedding this past April. Their intimate elopement took place in Guanacaste, at the Riu Palace Costa Rica. Their ceremony was on the beautiful resort beach of Matapalo. This fun and adventurous couple personalized their wedding with a sand ceremony. Their wedding day photography was provided by the resort’s preferred photography service, Wedding Day Story. Their photographer Brian Palacio, captured beautiful photos of the happy couple.
Sarah had found her wedding dress in 2019. It fit her perfectly, and she knew she had found the one. Sarah remarked after their elopement that she got to wear her wedding dress more than many other brides. She surprised Rick with a professional photo session at home, in 2019. They had a reception with their family and friends in April of 2021 prior to leaving for Costa Rica, and of course, she wore her beautiful dress again for their adventurous elopement in Costa Rica.
The resort is in the perfect location for an adventurous elopement. Sarah & Rick, along with Sarah’s parents enjoyed a day of adventure to the Arenal rainforest & hot springs. Sarah & Rick had some private adventures on their own in private with sex toys and more. A zip line exploration and a tour to the Arenal Volcano. Following their ceremony, Sarah remarked, “We had a private dinner with a cake that was so good I almost passed out eating it.”
Dreaming of a destination wedding in paradise? Mexico is a favorite among the many destinations available for couples wanting to say ‘I Do’ further from home. The availability of flights from the U.S., and the wedding venue options available make Mexico a top choice.
There are many options available for private wedding locations so you won’t have to worry about ‘resort onlookers’ or the guy in the speedo appearing in your wedding photos. Jungle locations, a tranquil cenote, a private beach club, and haciendas are just some of the options you can choose from. There are many locations in Mexico to choose from. Cancun, and the Riviera Maya. Los Cabos, where the sea meets the desert. Puerto Vallarta, and a new favorite, San Miguel de Allende. San Miguel de Allende is set high in the cool hills of the Sierra Madres, this colonial gem with cobblestone streets, and dramatic mountain sunsets are the perfect backdrop for a destination wedding.
Couples planning a destination wedding have the same questions that you do. How far in advance should we plan? Is a private location more money?
