Iberostar Resort in Cozumel, Mexico
Yes! If you do not have a valid passport, we recommend getting one ASAP! Processing time can be up to 3 months. Passports should be valid 6 months after travel date.
All food and drinks are included in your stay! There are non-motorized water sports available for guests (ie. kayaks, snorkel equipment, etc.), nightly entertainment, an outdoor pool, fitness room, tennis courts, and a basketball court at the resort. A spa is also available on the resort with 20% off for all wedding guests.
Travel arrangements to and from the airport are not included in the room cost. We did this to help keep costs down for our guests. There are several easy options for transportation though! - CozuShuttle is the #1 recommendation & located inside airport. One-way trip is $13 per person. This is a shared shuttle & makes stops at each resort. FlexShuttle offers the same service and is located inside the airport. Private transfers are also available. - Taxis aren't allowed at the airport and have to pickup/drop off passengers about a block away. One-way fair costs approx. $25-30. Taxis are available outside the resort to get back to the airport as well. - AmStar private transfers are also available and can be arranged for you through our travel agency.
Don't forget your passport, swimsuit, reef-safe sunscreen, bug spray, a beach bag, a cup to keep all your drinks cold, and necessary medication. Water shoes are highly recommended, as the beach is mostly rocky beyond the water line. Snorkel equipment is available at the resort, although we recommend bringing your own. You can bring a pool float and just leave it behind when you leave the resort. Although the resort is all-inclusive, we recommend bringing $1s and $5 USD bills for tips for the bartenders, servers, housekeeping, and shuttle drivers.
Hopefully sunny! Average high 82° / Average low 70°. Water temperature should be pleasant.
Beach Casual Wedding Attire. Linen pants, short-sleeved button downs, and maxi dresses are all great options. Heels, suit jackets, and ties are not necessary! All wedding day events will take place on the beach.
Thank you for your willingness to travel and to celebrate our special day with us! You are the only gift we need. Just come ready to party!
We do not have a registry. Your presence at our wedding is the best gift we could ask for!! If you REALLY want to still get a gift, please contact the bride or groom.
The Facebook group "Iberostar Cozumel" has been super helpful for us in finding out more information about the resort, looking at pictures, and answering any questions we might have that aren't on the the Iberostar website. It's a private group, so you have to request to join, but once you get accepted you can search for different topics or post your own questions/comments!
The resort will have wifi but you can use Whatsapp to communicate if there is no wifi.
That's completely up to you! I (Cierra) typically don't use travel insurance if my trip is less than a month long. However, if you're worried work might disrupt your trip (esp. first responder guests), then I think it's definitely worth looking into!
Don’t drink the water! Brush your teeth with bottled water as well. — Filtered water is available throughout the resort.
