💡 Planning Tips

• Plan for transportation: The resort is large and spread out — consider shuttles or golf carts for baraats or elderly guests.

• Mix it up: Host your ceremony on the beach, the Sangeet on the terrace, and the reception in a ballroom — each space brings a different mood.

• Use the chapel: If you’re having a Christian ceremony, this venue is rare to find at beach resorts in Mexico.

• Book early for TRS venues: They’re exclusive, stunning, and often requested.
