Woohoo!! Pack your bags we’re going to Cancun, Mexico!!
We are so very excited to have you join us for our wedding week[end]. We’ve chosen to stay at Grand Palladium Costa Mujeres (the family-friendly side of the resort) and TRS Coral (the adults-only side of the resort), and we strongly encourage you to stay with us!
To keep things simple for everyone, we’ve hired a groups travel agent - Allison Slater of Tailored Travel Experiences to help all of our guests arrange accommodations. She’s already secured special event group discounted rates for us at this resort.
Hi there! Raiysa and Dewayne have pre-reserved rooms for you with a special, set group rate for the travel window of March 25 - April 1, 2026.
Guests may extend their stay, pending availability - just include that request in your reservation form if you’d like to extend your stay beyond these dates, or email Allison with your specific date & room request. (allison@ttravelex.com)
Please note that the resort requires a 3 night minimum stay for all guests.
If you’ve discussed your travel plans with family and friends, you’re ready to make a deposit and reserve your room! The room deposit of $200 per person is due on or before September 17, 2025, plus the cost of your chosen insurance plan (optional)
Final room payments are due by November 12, 2025.
Dewayne and Raiysa are working with me, Allison, of Tailored Travel Experiences to make this trip fun and stress-free for you! Please read all of the important information below before completing the reservation form at the bottom of this page so you can join them for their big day!
Keep an eye out for emails from me after you’ve booked your stay. I’ll be emailing reminders, updates, important travel information, and final travel documents between now and the wedding, all from the email address: allison@ttravelex.com (it’s a good idea to ‘whitelist’ my email address by adding me to your contacts)
We’re SO glad you’re going to join Raiysa and Dewayne for their beautiful wedding in Mexico!

Yes and No. :) There are actually 2 different resorts that share a property here, and we've got rooms saved for you at both, depending on your needs.
The first resort is Grand Palladium Costa Mujeres (this is where the actual wedding festivities will be taking place). It is the Family-Friendly side of the property, and where all families traveling with children must stay.
Grand Palladium Costa Mujeres is a family-friendly resort, so kids of all ages are welcome!
There are various services for kids on-site (Baby Club, Kids Club, and Teens Club), with different supervised activities and places to hang out.
And in addition to loads of fun activities like archery, darts, ping pong, board games, silent discos, and more, there is also a kids' water park and splash pad!
The second resort (still on-property) is TRS Coral. This is the Adults-Only side of the property that will give guests traveling without children a chance to enjoy a peaceful, kid-free vacation! But the BEST part is that all adults staying at TRS Coral will have full access to Grand Palladium Costa Mujeres. All you'll do is walk over to that section of the resort, and you'll be able to hang out with the folks staying on the Grand Palldium side.
TRS Coral is truly an adults-only property, and guests must be 18 or older at the time of travel in order to stay on (or visit) this side of the property.
Minimum stay is 3 nights.
The maximum number of nights with this discounted rate is typically 7 nights, but if you wish to stay longer, just contact me! I’ll be happy to help make your longer stay happen. Kindly note that 8+ night stays, or stays that fall outside of our specific date range of discounted rates will be subject to resort availability and the prevailing rates.
We recommend arriving no later than March 27, 2026- the day before the wedding. In the case of any travel issues or delays, it would truly stink to miss Raiysa & Dewayne’s big day!
As long as you check in at least the day before the wedding, are present for the wedding itself, and hit the 3 night minimum requirement, you’re good to go!
If you wish to come earlier or stay later, that’s no problem at all. Just include your requested dates of stay and chosen room category in an email to me (Allison), and I’ll confirm availability with the resort and let you know! Just keep in mind that dates outside the room block may have different rates than the group rates listed for our date range below.
Room blocks mean that Raiysa and Dewayne have paid a deposit to pre-reserve rooms on your behalf for your group. They’ve signed a contract with the resort, and they’ve committed to filling a minimum number of rooms.
ONLY rooms booked with Tailored Travel Experiences will count toward this contract and the couple’s group block.
The resort has a minimum 3 night stay within these dates, but you can absolutely come earlier or stay later, as long as there’s resort availability.
We have reserved several different room types or room categories for you to choose from, which you can see below the FAQ.
We recommend two people per room for optimal comfort and pricing, but check out the room descriptions below for more details about how many guests can be accommodated in each room category.
Please note that an all-inclusive stay is quite different from a regular hotel stay, as there is per-person pricing (due to all of the food/beverage, and other amenities that are included in your stay).
A non-refundable deposit of $200 is due by September 17, 2025 Please note that all deposits are non-refundable unless you purchase insurance at the time of deposit.
If you do purchase insurance, it will be your responsibility to file a claim and await their decision, should you wish to try for a refund later on. And note that the travel insurance company makes all decisions about claims and refunds; neither Allison nor Tailored Travel Experiences has any say in these decisions.
Yes! When you book your room, your balance will be split into two due dates:
First, your deposit will be due at the time of booking, which must be no later than September 17, 2025
Later, your Final Balance will be due by November 12, 2025.
While those hard deadlines are in place, you are welcome to make a payment absolutely anytime by visiting this link: https://tailoredtravelexperiences.com/make-a-payment
Please note that late payments may result in late fees or full cancellation of your reservation. Please see the terms and conditions on your invoice for more details.
Raiysa and Dewayne reserved 48 rooms for the group, but only certain numbers of each category you see below.
In order to get the room category you really want, we suggest making a deposit ASAP!! Once our allotted rooms sell out, we may not be able to secure any more in that category or at this rate. (based on resort availability and prevailing rates).
If you have any specific requests or wishes (certain rooms, specific dates, etc.), we suggest that you make your deposit as soon as possible!
We highly encourage you to stay at this resort with Dewayne & Raiysa. All wedding activities will take place at this resort, and the whole group will be around for a week[end] of fun!
If you stay elsewhere, you will have to pay for a day pass or wedding pass to visit the resort just for the wedding, starting at $125. Those wedding passes are subject to availability, and we would hate for you to miss out on the wedding! Additionally, some resorts have started implementing a no-outside-guests-for-weddings policy; and it’s possible that our resort will implement such a policy between now and our wedding date.
To play it safe (and have the most fun!), we recommend staying on-site!
There are several reasons why you should honor the couple’s wishes and book the hotel portion of your trip within this group:
- Raiysa & Dewayne already worked with me to negotiate a contract for the ENTIRE group, including a special set rate for rooms, and included transportation.
- Groups are given priority status at the resort, so if you don’t book with us, you might miss out on some great VIP treatment!
- Groups are also given priority room assignments, so if you book your room directly, you’ll likely be getting a room that couldn’t be sold to a group - more than likely it will be leftover inventory, and probably in an undesirable location, away from everyone else.
- Groups are given priority at resorts in terms of any oversold situations. So if the resort over-sells, the group will be protected, but an individual reservation outside of the group is not. You could be walked to another location or property in this situation.
Guests who do not book within the group contract unfortunately,:
- Will not get the group rates
- Will have to pay up-front, vs. over time with our payment plan
- Will not receive any pre-departure trip support or post-trip support from me
- Unfortunately, I cannot assist with travel arrangements made outside of the group, nor can I help in the event of an emergency.
- May be required to pay a day pass on property to attend wedding events. Note that day passes are extremely limited now in a post-covid, lowered-occupancy world. (and some resorts have rules that wedding guests MUST be booked in the room block, or pay additional fees for wedding events)
Maybe most importantly, booking into Raiysa & Dewayne's room block means that you’ll help them out! They’ll get some pretty cool wedding perks based on the number of guests that book into this room block only. And we all love Dewayne & Raiysa, so let’s help them out!
Please book your own flights to Cancun, Mexico (CUN). Flights costs are NOT included in the reservation you’ll make here with Tailored Travel Experiences.
We encourage you to use any credit card points, airline miles, or your favorite booking method for flights so you can get the best itinerary and the best deal possible.
Allison will arrange your transportation to and from the airport. Just be sure to add transfers to your reservation, and to submit your flight information via the form provided by or before January 28, 2026.
The ground transportation (also known as a "transfer") that is included is Round Trip, Shared Ground Transportation. This is already included in the cost of your room reservation.
Shared Ground Transportation means that you will potentially be sharing ground transportation with other guests from this wedding group if you arrive at similar times. This may require a small wait (usually no longer than 30 minutes), while the drivers wait for other wedding guests who are arriving around the same time as you, so they can take all of you to the resort at once.
If you would like to upgrade your transportation to Private, Non-Stop, Round Trip Transportation, there are some options available to you inside the reservation form at the bottom of this page. Private transportation will be for ONLY your travel party, and once you arrive and find your transfer, they will immediately take you directly to your resort with no waiting!
If this is something you are interested in, be sure to select the type of transfer you would like when you book your room. (Again, these options are listed in the reservation form at the bottom of this page.) Each transportation option lists the maximum number of travelers that can fit in each type of vehicle, so be sure to choose one that will fit your entire travel party. Or, if you have any questions, feel free to ask Allison via email.
The form will request details for all additional travelers in your room, so they should NOT submit a second reservation request / form for the same room. Please ONLY submit your reservation form when you have ALL roommates’ information and deposit ready to go.
Note: after the initial deposit, you can split up the payments however you want among your roommates. ONLY this first deposit must be paid all at once, with one card. Thanks for helping us out by following these instructions!
Every traveler, including infants and children will need a valid passport. (If traveling with children, please see the specific rules for this on the US State Department website.
The US State Department recommends that international travelers have 6 months of validity remaining on their passport after their return trip date.
Please check the validity of your passport NOW! If it will expire soon, please renew your passport ASAP!
It is each guests’s responsibility to understand whether or not they can travel internationally. Please read more about this and apply for or renew your passport HERE.
Just be sure to submit your name exactly as it will appear on your passport.
The cost of travel insurance is based on the cost of your trip, your age, and state of residency. Due to these different factors, Allison will send you a travel insurance quote along with your invoice once you make your reservation. You must either purchase insurance, or digitally sign the insurance declination form to indicate that you were offered travel insurance and declined.
Without insurance, there are no refunds should your plans change for any reason.
Without insurance, you will also not have any medical coverage for mishaps or catastrophic events.
Note that your US health insurance likely will not work outside of the United States.
Travel insurance is not required, but is strongly recommended. You can read more about it here.
Then go back and repeat the forms for any additional rooms you want to book.
Thank you for your help!

Book Your Room
To get a quote or book your room:
All guests will need to complete the reservation form to get a quote.
Roommates should designate ONE person to fill out the form (one form per ROOM, not per person).
To limit multiple quotes, please discuss your travel dates and plans with important friends and family members before submitting a reservation form.
Steps:
- For each person staying in your room, we will need their full name as it appears (or will appear) on their passport, their date of birth, physical address, and email address
- Still waiting on your passport? No problem! Just provide the name you used on your application.
- Just select the number of passengers (people in your room), and the form will adjust and make spaces for everyone.
- Field marked with an asterisk (*) are REQUIRED.
Once we receive your form, we will review it and send an invoice for you to approve within 1-2 business days. Look for an email from Allison Slater (allison@ttravelex.com).
Friendly Reminders before submitting your reservation:
- Double check the name on your passport. Your reservation must match the name on your passport exactly. Please do not provide any nicknames, shortened names, etc. A change fee may apply if your reservation does not match the name on your passport.
- Make sure that your passport is valid for at least 6 months after the return date of travel. Note that passport processing time is currently 8-12 weeks, so you should apply for yours or renew ASAP to ensure you’ve got your passport in-hand well before your travel date.
- Check with your bank if you are using a debit card, as most banks have a daily charge limit. Please confirm your plans with your bank before submitting a large payment.
- If you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant: Some trips have restrictions for pregnant travelers, and your doctor may have advice about this as well. Please consult your doctor before submitting a reservation form, and consider purchasing travel insurance. If you purchase travel insurance for this reason, be sure to read the coverage information carefully. In some policies, pregnancy is considered a ‘pre-existing condition’ and is not a covered cancellation reason; so you may want to upgrade your insurance policy to “Cancel For Any Reason” coverage.
- Felonies / DUI / Owe back child support, etc. - if any of these situations apply to you, you may not be able to get a passport, clear immigration, or you may be detained at customs. Please contact your attorney to review the specifics of your case.
