As destination wedding planning experts, our team at Weddings by Funjet understands the importance of pairing each bride and groom with the perfect resort match. We strive to provide a fun and stress-free, yet unique, experience from beginning to end, and Sandos Hotels & Resorts does just that for our wedding groups. Ideal for brides anywhere within the United States, Sandos has four Mexican resorts on both the East and West coasts of Mexico. Wedding Concierge Ashley reveals the top 15 reasons we love Sandos Hotels & Resorts for destination weddings.
Set Above the Rest
Each resort has a customized wedding package that is unique to the special wedding venues and opportunities available at each resort. Most importantly, we love that every single wedding package includes a wedding ceremony, private cocktail hour, and private dinner reception for up to 30 people with the option to add additional guests.
An Experience to Suit Your Vacation Style
Sandos classifies its resorts by different experiences, Beach, Lifestyle, and Eco. While all resorts offer gorgeous beaches, both Sandos Playacar and Sandos Finisterra Los Cabos offer guests the ultimate beach experience. Sandos Cancun is an adult-oriented Lifestyle Experience resort that takes pride in its luxury amenities available to guests. Sandos Caracol gives the eco-experience where guests can truly dive into Mayan culture, with even a natural cenote onsite!
Same Sex Ceremonies
Same sex couples are encouraged and welcomed at all Sandos properties! A proud partner of the IGLTA, Sandos provides same sex Symbolic ceremonies at all locations and also offers legal ceremonies for same sex couples at its Cancun, Playacar, and Caracol locations.
Environmentally Aware
It’s not just a trend, but a passion and a policy for Sandos’ properties to follow a sustainability policy. Feel good knowing that you are vacationing with a resort that loves the earth just as much as you do. There are 3 major components of this policy, efficient use of energy-related and natural resources, conservation and respect of cultural traditions and customs, economic growth support within the community, and friendly interaction with the environment.
Unforgettable Wedding Venues
Each resort is different from the other, and from other resorts in the area! Our team at Weddings by Funjet is obsessing over some of these magically unique wedding venues offered to our brides-to-be.
Mountain Top Terrace at Sandos Finisterra. Set high within the resort, this terrace provides weddings with privacy, beautiful natural décor, and an incomparable panoramic view of the city and bay at night time.
Ocean Front Gazebo at Sandos Playacar. This venue offers the best of both worlds with a gorgeous crystal blue ocean backdrop paired with a hard grassy surface that will allow you to wear your heels!
Rooftop Terrace at Sandos Cancun. If you are looking for the most breathtaking view of the Caribbean sea, there is no better place to soak this in than Sandos Cancun’s rooftop terrace. The perfect location for your wedding celebration that still encompasses the gorgeous views of the sun, sand, and sea!
Cenote at Sandos Caracol. Perfect for the bride who is looking for a more natural and culturally connected wedding ceremony, the cenote at Sandos Caracol gives just that. Surrounded by natural waters and jungle, couples can be married with a real Mayan drum ceremony to give the ultimate cultural experience! Talk about unforgettable.
Great for Families
Although Sandos Cancun is an adult-oriented resort, Sandos Finisterra, Playacar, and Caracol are all family focused. In Cabo, you can find room categories large enough to fit up to 4 adults and 3 kids in the One Bedroom Suites. Sandos Playacar has a Baby Club (ages 2-3), Kids Club (ages 4-12) and a lively Teens Club (ages 13-17) to keep the entire family occupied all vacation long. Last of all, Sandos Caracol wows each guest with its impressive Aqua Park that has 29 slides and constant lifeguard supervision.
Water Babies Rejoice
Water activities are available at each resort, and they surely don’t disappoint. Some included activities that wedding groups can look forward to include catamaran rides, kayaks, pedal boats, sunfish sailboats, and even windsurfing!
Variety of Accommodations
Sandos Hotels & Resorts offer several different sections to accommodate guests with a variety of room categories. Some sections are adult only, some focused on families, and others are meant to provide the ultimate luxury and romance. Be sure to ask your Weddings by Funjet Accommodations Specialist about which sections are the right fit for you and your group!
Excellent for Large Wedding Groups
If you are anticipating a large wedding group but have apprehension on making all of the moving parts come together, have no fear! Your Weddings by Funjet concierge will reassure you that Sandos Hotels & Resorts are extremely welcoming to large wedding groups. Most wedding venues can fit a large capacity, and even better Sandos’ wedding packages include great offers that can save you up to $2,000 off your wedding package if you reach a certain level of rooms for your group.
Memorable Moments
Your wedding day is a moment you’ll never forget. Sandos knows this and loves to add to the excitement! At Sandos Caracol, newlyweds are given the opportunity to plant a tree together to commemorate their wedding and contribute to the beautiful environment of the Riviera Maya.

Guests can feed friendly monkeys bananas, swim with the fishes right in the sea, and even check out the turtle conservatory on the beach. At all four resorts, guests can even participate in releasing baby sea turtles to the sea! Be sure to have your camera with you because these furry friends are sure to give you the most fun #sandosmoments.
Swim Your Heart Out
If your ideal vacation time is spent in the pool overlooking the ocean, then Sandos has just what you need. Pool lovers bask in three jaw dropping infinity pools that belly up to the blue waters of the Caribbean at Sandos Cancun. Two of these three pools are heated, and all pools are surrounded by poolside cabanas to give you a relaxing experience.
Honoring Spiritual Holidays
Sandos Hotels & Resorts go above and beyond to allow guests to dive into the Mayan Culture. In particular, nearly half a dozen spiritual holiday events take place at Sandos Hotels & Resorts for guests to experience. At Sandos Caracol Eco Resort, ancient Mayan astronomy is celebrated during Summer Solstice, Spring & Autumn Equinoux, as well as Día de Los Muertos (Day of the Dead). Celebrations at the resort include different foods, activities, entertainment shows, and special guest appearances!
