Where to stay?
The Barceló Occidental Xcaret Destination Hotel
After an extensive search we decided to make this hotel the venue for our ceremony. We chose Occidental Xcaret Destination not only because of its beautiful settings to serve as the backdrop to our event, but also because it offers our guests high quality and all inclusive facilities and services at an affordable price. It is also ideally located to serve as a hub to all of our post-wedding activities.
As per hotel policies, certain activities including the ceremony, will only be accessible to guests staying at the hotel. Therefore, it is highly recommended that guests stay at least 1 -2 nights at this hotel in order to participate in the ceremony and the pre-wedding activities.

Playa del Carmen, Q.R., México
After the wedding
After the wedding day, Orlando and Yvonne would like to move away from the all-inclusive resorts to a more authentic feeling area in the heart of Playa del Carmen. The hotel we have chosen for the post-wedding period of our trip is the Ocean Zen Suites. If you are interested in joining us there you may book through the hotel’s website or through any third party vendor like expedia.com or booking.com.
If you would like to stay at an other hotel, please make sure it is within the Playa del Carmen area as opposed to the Cancún area which is about 1 hour away from Ocean Zen Suites and from all the activities we have planned. If you wish to continue your stay at the hotel where the ceremony will take place, the Occidental Xcaret, it also in the Playa del Carmen area and only about 10-15 minute ride from our hotel in Downtown Playa del Carmen.
