Children are more than welcome to accompany you on your vacation, however the welcome party, wedding ceremony, reception, and catamaran are strictly adults only. If you choose to bring your children, you would need to arrange for childcare during those events. The resort offers a Kids Club that is available until 10pm. Please keep in mind when choosing your room, you must stay on the Dreams side which is family-friendly. See Dreams Bahia Mita Surf & Spa Resort website for Kids Club details.
A 3-night minimum stay is required through our room block. We encourage you to make the most of your trip and enjoy as many days as you can. Our room blocks are set for April 15-22 but are flexible if you want to stay longer or arrive earlier. Any reservations outside of those dates must be arranged through Vagablonde Travel.
We kindly request the following attire for our wedding festivities: Welcome Party: "Dressy Casual" For the ladies - Think light, airy, beachy cocktail attire. This event will be outdoors, but not on sand or grass. For the guys - Think date night at the beach. Feel free to wear your favorite airy button-up and dress shorts. Wedding Ceremony & Reception: "Beach Formal" For the ladies - Dresses of any length are requested, with heels or dressy flats. The ceremony will be on sand and the reception will be on grass, so keep that in mind when choosing shoes. For the guys - Button-up, slacks, and dress shoes, please. But if you're feeling fancy, feel free to wear a suit.
There will be an option through Vagablonde to book private ground transportation for all of our guests. If you opt out of that you would need to book an Uber/Lyft to pick you up or utilize the drivers at the airport.
You will see on the Vagablonde website what is included with booking preferred. There are upgrades in the suites but also gives you access to areas of the resort that are not open to all guests. We highly recommend booking a preferred room. When we went to visit the resort, we were at the adults-only roof top pool 90% of the time and had breakfast at the club lounge every morning. If you enjoy perks like that, we would recommend booking preferred. Don't worry though, the pools and restaurants that are open to everyone are also so incredible!
