Why not?! We fell in love with the idea of spending extended time celebrating our marriage with our closest friends & family... in paradise! So, expect minimal stress, little hassle, full service 24/7, and most importantly... a really great time!
Lily's family first visited a Palace Resort in 2009. They've been to several different locations since, and the Moon Palace is definitely the family favorite! The Moon Palace also has friendly staff, great food, beautiful grounds, and awesome amenities!
(When she was younger, and her family would see people getting married at the resorts, Lily's family would make lots of jokes about her getting married down in Mexico one day!)
Once you enter the resort there is no charge for food, drink, and most other items. Period. "Enjoy unlimited food and beverage (top-shelf alcoholic or non), nightly entertainment, 24-hour room service, a liquor dispenser & minibar in your guest room, and an abundance of other services & amenities, without concern for cost. It’s all covered in the All-Inclusive Features, even all taxes and gratuities."
As with any resort, some extended guest areas do have fees such as the Moon Grand section, spas, golf course, gift shops, and many off-site excursions. However, depending on your length of stay, Moon Palace shines by giving you resort credits to help offset these costs as well!
In order to attend our wedding & events, yes! You can book by calling 1-888-987-7655 and asking to speak with the Wedding Department. Please let them know you are booking a reservation for the Riche/ Soklaski Wedding and provide our Membership Number: 4008006.
To achieve the lowest pricing for everyone, and guarantee rooms for all of our guests, we have negotiated a group contract and placed a deposit to hold rooms with the resort. If you do not book using our reservation number or link, we may not be able to add you to the guest lists due to resort security & contractual regulations.
We don't recommend staying off the resort. Since Moon Palace is an all-inclusive resort, outside visitors are required to purchase (a fairly steep) per person entry fee and we cannot guarantee access to the wedding ceremony or reception for non-guests.
Moon Palace does have a water purification plant on the property, and their water is considered completely safe to consume! If you'd prefer, the resort also provides as much bottled water as you need!
**Please remember to take precautions regarding water if you are away from the resort property. Only drink bottled water, be aware of ice, and even vegetables rinsed in local water. The guacamole off the resort DOES look really good... and it IS really good... but it's not worth the repercussions; TRUST ME - Lily.
