Travel Protection
Having travel protection is definitely important and I recommend it for everyone. I personally buy it for trips. However, the option to purchase travel insurance is solely up to you.
Depending on the option you select it may cover between 75% – 100% of a trip cancellation and many other things like unexpected medical expenses, baggage and flight delays.
There are 2 different kinds of policies to choose from and since I’m not an insurance agent and therefore cannot answer questions regarding any travel insurance policies I have found that this is the easiest way to compare them. This is the insurance company we personally like and suggest but you are welcome to purchase Travel Protection through any entity that you choose.
Click here for Travel Insurance Options
You will need to answer a few questions about your trip and then you’ll receive policy options and pricing. This link will give you 2 different plan options (Worldwide Trip Protector Plus & Worldwide Trip Protector) as well as optional add-on coverage for other areas of your trip.
The “Worldwide Trip Protector Plus” policy option includes CFAR (Cancel for Any Reason). However, you must purchase the insurance no later than 21 days from the day you make your reservation. FYI, CFAR is not available for New York State residents.
The Worldwide Trip Protector plan, which does not include the CFAR option, can still be purchased after 21 days from the time you booked but it will not cover the Pre-Existing Condition Exclusion Waiver or the Bankruptcy/Default of an airline, cruise line, tour operator or other travel providers. However, you can still cancel for a covered reason and potentially get up to a 100% refund as long as it’s a covered reason.
I strongly suggest that you call and verify what each policy covers if you have any questions. You can reach an insurance agent at 1-800-243-3174.
FYI, not purchasing travel protection could result in the loss of your travel cost and/or require more money to correct the situation. Without the protection, there may be no way to recoup any losses, costs, or expenses incurred and the price of Travel Protection IS NOT included in the price of the room selections and is non-refundable.
Ground Transportation

Complimentary round-trip transportation is included for guests booked through this link with a minimum required stay of 4 nights. Each guest is responsible for booking their own transfers at least two weeks prior to their arrival date.

Staying for only 3 nights:
If you are only staying for the 3-night minimum you are still responsible for booking your own transfers at least two weeks prior to their arrival date. However, you will have to pay for them in advance directly with the resort.
Transfers may be booked by sending an email with complete flight information (name of each guest, name of the airline, flight number, time of arrival into Canun, and room reservation number) to transfercancun@palaceresorts.com.

Room Reservation FAQ’s
Where can I find their Wedding Website & bridal registry?
We do not currently have that information. Please reach out to Mariah & Ryan to see if they have a personal wedding website & bridal registry.
I don’t see a way to RSVP on the website. How can I do this?
There is no official way of doing this through our website. Most people contact the wedding couple directly and let them know.
Will everyone in our group have rooms next to each other?
No, not necessarily. This will depend on a few factors like the type of room category each person books and how full the resort is at the time of the event.
Do I need to take electrical converters?
No. Mexico has the same electrical outlets as we do in the U.S.
If you don’t know what to do in Cancun during your vacation with kids, we offer a variety of family activities. Each day brings possibilities for making your vacation in Cancun a memorable experience.
