To make this process as easy as possible, Colby and Jenny have come up with a quick guide to make sure planning your vacation goes smoothly.

STEP 1: BOOK YOUR ROOM

We are working with a wonderful travel agency, VIP Vacations, who will help arrange everything (free to you) from your rooms, flights, and transportation to the resort from the Cancun airport. You can find all booking information under the travel tab.

If you have any questions regarding travel, the best way to contact our dedicated travel agent is via email at Lisa@vacationsbyvip.com. Emails are addressed within one business day in most cases.

STEP 2: PASSPORT CHECK

Since this is an international trip, you do need a passport valid at least 6+ months past your travel dates. Passport cards are not valid for international air travel. If you have a passport, be sure to check the expiration date. If you don't already have a passport, it is a good idea to apply early to be sure you receive it in time for your trip. Passports normally take 4-6 weeks to process. We suggest applying a minimum of 4 months in advance as a precaution.

To apply for a new passport or update an expired passport visit Travel.State.Gov.

STEP 3: BOOK YOUR FLIGHT

Airfare is not included. Our travel agency VIP Vacations can assist in booking your airfare, or you can book on your own. It is suggested that all guests fly into Cancun International Airport (CUN). It is recommended that you book your flights 2-8 months before departure.

We recommend using Google Flights or Hopper to monitor available flights and pricing. However, we encourage you to book directly on the airline's website to avoid added fees or misunderstandings with the airline. This is a great opportunity to use any travel points you may have!

STEP 4: PACK YOUR BAGS

Even if you are planning on checking a bag, it is always a good idea to bring a carry-on with all of the most important items that you would need to get you through a few days (from medication, to toiletries and swimwear).

Wedding Attire:

Beach Cocktail Attire - Please no shorts or jeans. But remember, we’ll be in Mexico, so feel free to bust out the fun colors and prints!

Tipping:

Your resort fee has built-in tips for the staff, so while you are not obligated to tip, we recommend to bring at least $100 per guest for tips. Typically tips ($1-$10) are encouraged to show appreciation for shuttle drivers, bartenders, waitstaff, cleaning staff, tour guides and spa staff.

Dining Attire:

Restaurants at the resort have dress codes that fall into 2 categories: Casual, or Casual Elegance. Please be sure to pack accordingly to experience all of the resort's dining options. See below for examples of acceptable wear:

Casual – Bermudas, long shorts, or capri pants. Sneakers, tennis shoes or sandals. No sleeveless shirts or bathing suits for men. Ladies must wear a swimsuit wrap or cover-up.

Casual Elegance – Sneakers, tennis shoes, or dress sandals. Dress shirts with short sleeves or collared shirts. Long pants required for men. No sleeveless shirts for men. No swimwear.

Beach towels:

The resort provides the guests with beach towels to use on property, therefore you do not have to pack any if you do not want to!

Suggested items to bring:

Sunscreen, aloe vera, bug spray, sunglasses, an insulated cup, a beach bag, multiple swimwear options.
