Saturday, January 23rd, 2027 at 5:00 p.m.
Your tropical escape awaits in one of Mexico's most idyllic settings. After a warm greeting upon arrival, enjoy a paradise filled with swaying palm trees, soft white sand and expansive ocean views.
​
Secrets Playa Blanca is a luxury all-inclusive resort for adults only where you'll be able to relax and rejuvenate while enjoying great food, fun activities and beautiful natural scenery.
1. How do I book my room?
Ashley and Steve have signed a group contract to set up a wedding room block to pre-reserve rooms for their guests.
A limited number of rooms have been held for Wednesday 1/20/27 through Monday 1/25/27 (5 nights), and a fewer number of rooms have been held for Wednesday 1/20/27 through Wednesday 1/17/27 (7 nights). You can choose to stay for fewer nights (minimum three-night stay required) or we have the option to add additional nights to the wedding room block, based on availability.
For alternate lengths of stay and/or additional room types, please contact Jodi Schlichting with EverAfter Travel for pricing and availability details: jodi@everaftertravel.org
​
A $200 per person non-refundable deposit is required to book your room. Final payment is due by 8/6/26.
NOTE: We are holding a limited number of rooms, so it is good to book your room early to ensure you get the specific room type you want.
The first step to book your room is to complete the online reservation form. Once your form is submitted, Jodi will be following up with you directly regarding next steps for booking your room (only one reservation form needs to be submitted for each room).
2. What happens if I don't book with EverAfter Travel?
Ashley and Steve have paid a deposit to pre-reserve rooms for their group. They have signed a group contract with the resort committing to a minimum number of rooms that allows them to offer additional benefits for their guests. Only rooms booked in the room block through EverAfter Travel count towards this contract.
There are several reasons why you should honor the couple's wishes and book your stay through the room block with EverAfter Travel:
-
The wedding couple has worked with EverAfter Travel to negotiate a contract for the group. This includes a special set rate and includes transportation.
-
Groups are given priority status at the resort, so you might miss out on some VIP treatment if you book separately.
-
Groups are given priority room assignments, so if you book directly, you're likely getting a room that couldn't be sold to a group. It will be leftover inventory, probably in an undesirable location away from everyone else.
-
Groups are given priority in terms of an oversold situation. If the resort over sells, your group is protected but an individual reservation is not and you could be "walked" or bumped to a different resort.
Guests who do not book within the group contract unfortunately:
-
Will not get the group rates.
-
Will have to pay up front versus over time.
-
Will not receive any pre-departure trip support from EverAfter Travel.
-
Unfortunately EverAfter Travel cannot assist with travel arrangements made outside of the group or assist in the event of an emergency.
-
May be required by the resort to pay an event fee and/or day pass to attend wedding events.
3. How are my flights booked?
Wedding guests typically book their own flights directly with their preferred airline. The closest international airport to Secrets Playa Blanca is the Cancun International Airport (CUN).
4. How do I get from the airport to the resort and back?
Shared round-trip airport transfers from the Cancun International Airport (CUN) are included in the room rates listed further below. Once you book your flights, you can click here to submit your flight details to EverAfter Travel which will be used for coordinating your transportation from the airport to the resort and back.
5. What are the cancellation policies?
Cancellation policies apply once booked.
-Initial $200 per person deposit is non-refundable and non-transferrable.
-The room and airport transfers become fully non-refundable as of 8/7/26.
-If individual room is cancelled by 8/6/26, no penalty will be charged (initial $200 per person deposit remains non-refundable).
-If individual room is cancelled 8/7/26 or later, there is a 100% room revenue penalty.
6. How do I purchase travel insurance?
Optional travel insurance is available and EverAfter Travel encourages travelers to consider purchasing insurance as it can not only cover things like trip delays/cancellations, but it can also provide medical coverage while you're traveling just in case something happens - this is very important because your own medical insurance typically does not include international coverage.
