Passport
You need to have a valid passport in order to travel to Mexico. While some countries require that your passport is valid for 6 months beyond the date of your travel, this is not the case with Mexico. As long as your passport is valid for the duration of your trip, you should be OK. Just confirm with your airline when you book your flights - if they are OK with your passport, then Mexico will be, too.
Where to Stay
SMA is a very safe city. Things to note geographically are that the more north and west you go of Zona Centro, the more local and less touristy it becomes. Also, there are plenty of beautiful properties to stay at east of Zona Centro. Just note that accessing these properties may include many steps and steep inclines!
This map shows where our welcome party (Casa San Jose, purple X) and wedding (Terraza Trinitate, pink X) are located. Properties within the yellow circle would all be within a 10-15 minute walk from each!
Hotels
There are many small boutique hotels in SMA and a few larger resorts, ranging in price from moderate to expensive. Linked below are just a few that came recommended to us by our wedding planner or that we found during our research.
Rooms look gorgeous and updated. Fantastic location.
Located next door to Maison Mexique. Offers single rooms as well as small suites with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a living room.
This hotel has 2 locations - Recreo and Pila Seca. Both are nice, but Recreo will be a quieter stay, as Pila Seca is on a busier street.
Less charm and a ~15 minute walk to the wedding venue, but it has a pool and is the most affordable option.
This is a Hyatt brand luxury hotel with a rooftop pool.
A larger resort with many amenities.
A gorgeous property with many amenities.
A Belmond hotel. Great location with many amenities.
Airbnbs/Casas
Getting a house to share with a small group of people will be a wonderful experience. Many gorgeous properties exist in Zona Centro (and nearby neighborhoods), some offering breathtaking balcony views, small pools, or even breakfast and housekeeping on-site. Here are a list of just some of the many properties available to rent in SMA. Keep in mind, many will have a minimum night stay requirement.
