“Don't worry, just book!”

Playa Fiesta Beachclub & Hotel

Playa Fiesta is a magical place. Maybe it's all the mojitos and coronas, but when you are there, you won't be able to stop smiling. If you are a potential wedding couple, book right way! The people at this resort are warm and welcoming, the service so incredible, the weather so perfect, that I could not have hoped for a more phenomenal week. There are so many glowing, positive perfect reviews on this site...all of them true... and I thought I'd share a few small tips with the incoming couples!
1. Water: bottled water is included in the open bar. No need to run out to walmart and buy water - as are all beers and mixed drinks not made with "premium liquor," whatever that means. There are no "hidden costs" with the open bar.
2. Room discrepancies: it's there, but it's not what you think. For instance, the ground floor suites, though lacking in the superior views, ended up being where we put couples. The 2nd/3rd floor suites - while the balcony views were beautiful, actually has less amenities(less privacy, less closet space, and in some cases, shared bathrooms)
3. Proximity to town: There were reviews saying how far this hotel was from town, etc. It is a $6 10 minute ride to town, 15 minutes in traffic.
4. Activities: we rented the Bora Bora for our entire wedding party. It was absolutely worth it. It was way more fun than the standard rehearsal dinner. Lindsay arranged the whole thing.
5. Cost: I saw a review that said PF caters to larger budgets, and I think that's an unfair statement. The cost was reasonable...for the quality of the wedding. It's true that you can have a much cheaper wedding at a big all-Inclusive elsewhere - but then it would be an entirely different type of wedding.
6. Food/Drink: Get the dessert options! While the food was great and plentiful, there were no desserts that come standard with the buffets. I wish we'd have chosen the cupcakes/fried ice cream.
As the bride I was relaxed the whole week, and never worried about a thing except weird tan lines. Lindsay is an amazing planner - just trust her advice and go with the flow - I wish I could have her plan the rest of my life out!

“There is only one word to describe this place - Phenomenal”

Playa Fiesta Beachclub & Hotel

2/3 found this review helpful

All I can say is that this place knows how to throw a wedding. The atmosphere is laid back, everyone is incredibly friendly and some of the best staff i've ever encountered in a hotel. My best friend recently got married and Adam and Lindsay made the entire process easy and fun. Once we got there we were all treated like family, and were so upset to leave at the end of the week. If you are interested in doing a destination wedding, it doesn't get any better or more gorgeous than this place!

“Loving & Missing Playa Fiesta Hotel!”

Playa Fiesta Beachclub & Hotel

Mar 5, 2008
2/2 found this review helpful

Gee, where should I start? I guess the event that was a wedding with over 40 people on Valentines Day 2008.

Upon arrival, I just flittered about the hotel with others in awe at how beautiful, breathtaking and totally tropical the hotel was - I was truly out of the USA and in the luxury of Mexico!

The staff: can you say we loved them, missed them, wish they were our buddies? Every moment (not just day) was a smile, rooms kept clean, no one was ever annoyed with a request and they all seemed refreshed and happy every day - well, who wouldn't at this place.

Owners: Lindsay and Adam, they know how to run a tip-top shape place and put together meaningful and breathtaking weddings – and, they are so young and cute to boot!

The Hotel & Wedding: very beautiful, white linen covered chairs, colored rose petals down the aisle, bamboo fans and shells for guests, the most beautiful flower arrangements and the view outside is to die for - truly, looks like a slice of heaven.

The food: Spectacular! Colorful! Plentiful! Good Variety! Lots of fruit available! And you can truly trust the filtered water and ice, not one person fell ill – plenty of bottled water available, too.

Okay, you get my gist - it was almost as if someone had sprinkled pixie dust over our entire group at Playa Fiesta. It surpassed our expectations, everyone was so pleased and happy - always having fun – one of our favorite things was to sit in the big bath water warm “infinity” type of pool with beverages, staring up at the stars and chatting/laughing into all hours of the night.

At the end of the trip, I even cried that I had to leave - as you can only have that first time A+ memorable experience once and it was truly memorable. I WILL SO BE BACK, can you tell?!

All I can say is FABULOUS!!! Fabulous staff, fabulous breakfasts, fabulous bar, fabulous rooms, fabulous pool and hottub and fabulous view. Amazing! Highly recommend this place for a wedding.
Only thing a little different was getting use to sleeping to the noise of the waves on the rocks, then when I returned home I couldn't sleep with it so quiet.

“Great place to have a wedding”

Playa Fiesta Beachclub & Hotel

Feb 28, 2008
2/2 found this review helpful

My boyfriend and I attended a wedding in February at Playa Fiesta and had a wonderful experience. The rooms were spacious and the living room overlooked the ocean. We stayed in the 3 bedroom suite and had only two minor cons: the rooms not facing the ocean were not as private since they faced the walkway corridor and we had to leave our curtains closed for the entire stay also, they did not receive a lot of natural light (the master bedroom was definitely the best as it had plenty of sunlight, privacy, and its own bathroom). Otherwise, the suite was great: full kitchen; there were no bugs (not even mosquitoes), and the bathroom was large and decorated with simple yet classic mosaic tiles. The staff was exceptional, especially the evening bartenders (ask for Charlie!). The wedding planner was extremely gracious and very helpful to everyone. This hotel is great for family reunions, weddings, or any type of celebration.
