Redefining the expectation of what resorts can be, Excellence Riviera Cancun welcomes guests with gracious hospitality, luxe offerings, and ahead-of-the-curve amenities. Here, six meandering pools and pristine tropical gardens shine against the backdrop of the azure blue waters of the Caribbean.
Every detail of our high end hacienda-inspired resort celebrates the beauty of its surroundings and is built to provide an unmatched experience in relaxation and enjoyment in the heart of Mexico’s Riviera Maya. All-suite accommodations, the gorgeous Miilé Spa, and an array of enticing restaurants and bars provide an extraordinary resort stay.

Please review
To be considered part of the wedding group, you must book through the group rates and not through any other method (even directly with the hotel). We have negotiated competitive group rates and secured a room block to make this as easy as possible for our bride and groom.
Additional fees will apply to visit the resort or come to wedding related events should you book off property. The pre-negotiated rates include hotel accommodations, hotel tax and fees, housekeeping and bellman gratuities. Room categories are available on a first come, first serve basis within the block.
• IMPORTANT: To book at these rates you are REQUIRED to stay a minimum of 3 nights.
• Rates are available 3 days pre/post the room block dates of October 26 - November 1, 2022 (based on availability)
• Any changes must be done in writing and changes requested after the balance due date must be paid for in full upfront even before they are confirmed.

Preferred Company: LOMAS TRAVEL
We will request your flight information around 30-45 days prior to travel.
Unless otherwise requested, our office will try to group wedding guests together to bring down the per person cost.
We offer competitive rates with roundtrip private vans and once we have a completed group manifest we will share per person rates! Transportation is not included in the room rate.
Complimentary beer and water included.
Vagablonde Travel offers optional travel protection with Travel Insured International.
Rates will vary per person depending on your age, state, total value of your trip, and if you elect for the Cancel for Any Reason benefit.
The average cost of your travel protection is about 6-10% of the total trip cost so it's a great investment!
You must add insurance within 21 days of booking if you want the Cancel For Any Reason Policy. Otherwise, the "Cancel For Any Reason" benefit will not apply and the only benefits will be for in-travel issues or covered reason. Please note that once purchased, travel insurance is non refundable.
Our office will automatically send you a quote after you book with your room total and an estimated ground transfer if you select this option. If our office books your air, we will include this in your quote. If you are not ready to purchase air, no problem. If after purchasing your policy, you buy your air, reach out to us and we will make the adjustment on your policy or send you directions to do so. Any additions to the policy may require additional payments.
Closest airport to the resort is CANCUN International Airport (CUN).
We recommend booking your flights as early as you can. You may book it via your favorite airline or allow us to do so for a small fee of $39.
Consider using miles or credit card points if you have them. If you would like to book your flight + hotel as a package this can be arranged as well. In the reservation form mark "YES" to the flight question and you will be contacted to verify airline and connection preferences for published rates.
However, there is no guarantee that we have better flight prices than what you may find on your own and we cannot guarantee we are contracted with every airline. There may be instances when we cannot book your air if we do not have a contract with a specific airline, such as Spirit Airlines. We are also not able to use credit card points or miles towards your flight.

WILL I NEED A PASSPORT?
Yes! A passport is needed to fly to and from the U.S. and Mexico. A passport card will NOT work. Please take the time now to locate your passport and check the expiration date; make sure it is valid for 6 months after your anticipated return date. Check this site for more passport info: travel.state.gov/content/passports/en/passports.html
I FOUND A CHEAPER PRICE ONLINE, CAN YOU MATCH IT?
We are confident in our pricing but if you were to find a cheaper “deal” outside of Vagablonde Travel please allow us an opportunity to price match. We would like to do our best to keep family and friends consolidated in the block at the resort for accountability and organization for the staff. To expedite the process, please take a dated screen shot of what you found. It must include the final total price (with all taxes and fees), what the price includes (dates and room category), the website you found it on.
DO I NEED A COVID TEST?
At this time, no testing is required to enter Mexico. Currently, you will need one to return to the states. At this time, the test is currently offered on-site at the resort.
DOES MY INSURANCE COVER COVID OR THE PANDEMIC?
No, but it does cover quarantine. For further questions regarding the insurance policies we suggest you call the company direct after you receive your quote. They are specialist and we just offer their product.
