Before You Leave Home!

► DO I HAVE TO STAY AT FINEST RESORT? ◄

Resort Policy: All wedding guests must stay at the resort. Because the resort is highly secured, those who do not have room reservations are not allowed on the premises.

► WHEN SHOULD I BOOK MY ROOM? ◄

ASAP! The room reservations are based on availability, so we highly recommend booking as soon as possible! There will be other wedding parties there the same weekend as us.We want to make sure everyone gets the room that they want! Payment is not due until 30 days prior to arrival so you don't have to worry about paying in full right now. Just put down a small deposit! *If you want to come but are not sure you can swing it, our advice is to book a room ASAP regardless. Finest has free cancellations up to 30 days before your scheduled arrival! If you decide you want to come once the resort is sold out, there is nothing that can be done to accommodate you.*

► WHAT AIRPORT DO I FLY INTO? ◄

When booking your flights, search for the best deals on any reputable airline. Fly into Cancun Airport (CUN). Please book the flight that works with your schedule.If you arrive before check-in time, you can use all the amenities [pool, restaurants, activities, etc]. Pack a small bag with swimwear and other necessities to utilize the resort while you wait for your room to be ready. Just a friendly reminder the wedding is on FRIDAY.Please give yourself enough time to arrive in case of any delays or cancellations!

► DO I NEED A PASSPORT? ◄

Yes! You need a passport to travel to Mexico. You will need this to board your flight and the resort will ask for it when you check in. If you need to get a passport, please apply for one ASAP so it arrives in time for the trip. Right now the US turnaround time is about 8-11 weeks. YOUR PASSPORT MUST BE VALID FOR THE ENTIRETY OF YOUR STAY PLUS 6 MONTHS AFTER YOUR RETURN DATE.IF YOU FLY HOME ON 12.10.22,YOUR PASSPORT MUST BE VALID UNTIL 06.10.23 Click&nbsp;<a href="https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/have-passport.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>&nbsp;for instructions to renew or apply for your passport. PLEASE NOTE: An enhanced drivers license or passport card only allows entrance into Mexico by land or boat.&nbsp;Air travel requires a passport book.

► WILL I NEED IMMIGRATION FORMS (FMM) TO ENTER MEXICO? ◄

You will receive your&nbsp;tourist visa/ FMM&nbsp;during the flight or as you cross the border by land. Keep this form safe as you need to provide it at the airport when you leave Mexico.

► WHAT HAPPENS AFTER I LAND IN CANCUN? ◄

Pass through Mexican immigration. Pick up your luggage and clear customs. You are going to go through a line and when it is your turn, you have to press a button. If you are randomly selected, customs will make you open your luggage and go through all your items together. After clearing customs you will exit to a hall through sliding doors, where you will find different booths of rental cars and other salespeople vying for your business.DO NOT STOP AND TALK TO ANYONE THERE.{Nobody likes to talk about timeshares} Walk all the way to the main sliding doors until you get outside. That is where you will be greeted by your transportation company.

► HOW DO I GET FROM THE AIRPORT TO THE HOTEL? ◄

When booking via our promo code, you will receive free round trip transportation through Seasons Transfers.In your confirmation email, if you scroll down you will see a book now area for Airport Transfers. it will take you to the email of seasons transfers where you can send them your flight details to schedule pick up and drop off.Their Email: transfers@seasonstours.com

We HIGHLY recommend taking advantage of this or pre-booking transportation with another vendor. Unlike most airports, Cancun requires drivers to have a special license to pick passengers up from the airport so there is not a typical taxi stand. All services are through private companies that charge a hefty flat fee of $50 one way. If you’ve pre-booked a pick-up, your transportation company will be found OUTSIDE the airport doors. If you have not pre-booked and want to take an authorized taxi, there are two taxi lines outside: one to your far left and one to your far right. Make sure to follow the sign that says “Authorized Taxi”. If you do not wish to use the transportation the hotel provides,we personally recommend Happy Shuttleas they have always been prompt, safe and reliable.Click&nbsp;<a href="https://happyshuttlecancun.com/?gclid=Cj0KCQiAsqOMBhDFARIsAFBTN3erVdhKzujEf-mD3KHSPwR3yvNNi8ZRqcwHr8akVM4sw5yhYY_KJl4aAgp6EALw_wcB" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>&nbsp;to visit their site.
