Wedding Venues
Garden Gazebo
The Garden Gazebo at Majestic Elegance Cancun is truly a showstopper, centrally located off the main lobby area, and it’s the perfect spot to make a grand statement on your wedding day. This venue certainly lives up to the “majestic” expectation you get from the resort’s name, offering a breathtaking setting that will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression on your guests.
However, it’s not for everyone. If you’re looking for a private, low-key celebration, the Garden Gazebo might not be the best fit. It’s a bold choice that demands attention – there’s no hiding here! You’ll most likely have other resort guests as unexpected spectators, making it an ideal location for those who want to feel like the center of attention. If you’re all about the spotlight and want a ceremony that stands out, this could be the perfect choice for you!

We are blushing just thinking about it 🥰 A dream setting for a truly unforgettable wedding experience!

After seeing countless hotels and wedding venues, our wedding experts can’t stop raving about the ballroom at Majestic Elegance Cancun. It’s truly one-of-a-kind – this is the only hotel we know of that specifically designed a ballroom with weddings in mind. The result is a space that’s not just a simple backup location, but a sophisticated and stunning venue tailored to elevate your celebration.
The Wedding Terrace is located right off of the wedding ballroom, this area has a roof, but is open. With gorgeous sunset views over the lagoon and the ocean breeze, it is a fantastic option if you prefer outdoors. You can also combine the outdoor area and indoor area in the case of a very large wedding group.

Pros and Cons
PROS:
• The variety of wedding venues is absolutely beautiful, unique, and offers a truly private experience. We particularly love the Beach Gazebo, it’s the ultimate romantic background to create everlasting memories.
• The Cenote inspired Spa. It’s stunning and provides the ultimate pampering and tranquility you need and deserve before all the wedding festivities begin.
• The beach on this side of Playa Mujeres is easily one of the best on the entire Riviera Maya. Absolutely stunning! Imagine waking up to those views after saying I do ? Literally a dream!🥰
CONS:
• The secluded location can be both a pro and a con, depending on what you’re looking for. While you can easily explore the city by taking a taxi, there’s not much to see or do outside the property. On the plus side, it offers a peaceful escape, allowing you to disconnect from the hustle and bustle for a while.
• They host foam parties in the outdoor pools, which are a lot of fun but might not be for everyone’s taste. To keep in mind for the most conservative guests!
• If you are thinking of having a kids friendly wedding, this a family-friendly resort, but little kids will not find much activities or entertainment. They can surely go to the kids club and join a few organized games but other than that, not much else.
• The bathroom and room are an open concept, so if you are sharing with someone you don’t know very well, this may be a little uncomfortable.
Rooms & Sections
The rooms are spacious and start as Junior Suites, so all rooms have at least an integrated sitting area.
Junior Suites are located on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th floor with varying views. All ground floor rooms are Swim-Out Suites, and then the top floor is either private rooftop with plunge pool, in the Adult’s Area or private rooftop with jacuzzi in the family area.
The ”Elegance Club” is the adults-only section. Rooms are very similar throughout the resort, the difference is that these rooms are, like the name says, a kids-free zone. This section includes a few pools and a bar. You can still visit this quiet area if you are staying at the family side, just don’t bring the kids.
The hotel is comprised of 70% adults-only rooms and 30% family-friendly rooms. Most restaurants and service can accommodate all ages, but there are areas for both families and adults to lounge about in whatever atmosphere they prefer.
The Beach
The beach at the Majestic Elegance hotel is a beauty. The picture speaks for itself, truly. The water is turquoise and the water entry is smooth, there are no rocks. The sand is pristine and soft. Sounds like the perfect spot to seal it with a kiss or for long romantic walks with your spouse, doesn’t it?🥰
Food & Drink
Lots of choices here! From buffet, seafood, to steakhouse and even Japanese teppanyaki! Obviously, when in Mexico, the also have an awesome selection of Mexican food on site to make sure you are enjoying your wedding one taco at a time!
There is an impressive selection of 12 bars! In addition to the upper lobby piano bar – with live music in the evening, you have the lower lobby, open though until 1 A.M, a swim-up bar in the main pool, the sports bar that is open all night, and a few more! In addition, the adults-only section has 4 swim-up bars in addition to the others available on-site – we all love a good swim-up bar!😉
Activities, Sports, and Kids Club
For the more outgoing guests, there will be exciting pool games and lively foam parties to enjoy. Additionally, guests can look forward to live performances and shows in the evening.
The Kids Club is also a great way to give your guests with kids some much needed rest and enjoy the wedding celebrations. The club features fun activities such as movies, games, arts & crafts, and more
Exchange Privileges
Staying at the Majestic Elegance Costa Mujeres will not grant you access to another property at the time. There is a project to build other Majestic resorts next door in the future years. Maybe then you will be able to visit those resorts and enjoy their facilities.
