ADVANTAGES OF BOOKING WITH THE ROOM BLOCK

Why do I need to book with the group?

It is very important that you book with the group. We have secured competitive pricing for all of our guests. When booking with the group, this ensures that your package is protected.

Overbooking

In the event a property is over booked, group blocks are protected. If the hotel needs to bump a guest, they will look at moving an individual booking first!

TICO Certified: We have you covered!

Registered TICO travel agencies provide additional consumer protection for your travel investment that may not be available when booking with travel agencies based in other countries or provinces. Fun Fact- If you book through a TICO registered travel agency or website, and a cruise line, airline, or travel agency/wholesaler closes or goes bankrupt, you can file a claim for a refund for travel services that you did not receive.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT WEDDING ROOM BLOCKS!

Most people have never had experience with a wedding room block so here are some details as to why the bride and groom have asked their guests to book within their room block:

You are attending a private event connected to a block of rooms. In order to have access to the event(s) you must book as part of the group. This is similar to booking a “convention package” where your room is directly connected to attending events.

The quoted rates also include perks for the bride, groom, and wedding guests. These perks are not included in any online prices you might find. The contract group rate guarantees the same rate for everyone in the group. *The rates may change if you request a different room type.

You may be denied access to the private events by the resort (ceremony, reception, etc.) if you book outside the group. If access to the private event is allowed, a service fee per person, per each event, must be paid in order for you and any guest not booked in the group to attend.

Those staying “off location” are often denied access to the venue. Wedding terms and conditions usually require the wedding couple to stay a minimum number of nights.

Wedding terms and conditions usually require a certain number of guest rooms to be booked. If the minimum terms and conditions are not met, the wedding couple will have to pay more for the wedding.

The contracted group rates make sure everyone gets the same price and are included in all the activities.

TRAVEL REQUIREMENTS TO ENTER MEXICO

Mexico Health Declaration Form:
Mexico has introduced a new health declaration form to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. All individuals traveling to Mexico are now required to complete the Pre-Flight Health Questionnaire before entering the country.

Mexico Health Declaration Form:
You will have to create an account. Once you complete all of the information, a QR code will be generated. You can either take a screenshot of it on your mobile device or print a copy of the page displaying your QR code. You may be asked to show the QR code to a Mexican Official.
Each person travelling must have their own individual QR code.

All persons entering Mexico will go through a layered pre-screening process, to include temperature checks, visual checks and random selection. Based on the results, there is further screening and testing by the health authorities. You can complete the required Health Declaration From online, using the following link: Mexico Health Declaration Form

Mexico Tourist Card:
Complete your Mexico Entry Immigration Form – Tourist Card at Mexico Tourist Card


Here’s what you need to complete the form:
· Contact information
· Passport information
· Full Name of the hotel in Mexico (address not mandatory)
· Flight arrival information
· Email address (to send you the tourist card)
· A printer to print the tourist card

Important Reminder: Do not forget to sign the form, or you may delay your entry into Mexico.

You can complete the required tourist card online, using the following link: Mexico Tourist Card

Tourist Card FAQ:

What is a Mexico Entry Immigration Form/Tourist Card and why do I need it?

· If you are visiting Mexico, you need a Tourist Card which is an Entry Immigration Form that details information about your visit to Mexico. The tourist card is per person regardless of age and how long you will stay in Mexico. The information you provide in the tourist card is kept by the Mexican Immigration Authority as an official record of your visit to Mexico.

How long do I have to keep my tourist card?

There are two (2) parts of the Immigration Form, the Entry Form and the Exit Form. You will be emailed both forms already completed with the proper information and when you arrive in Mexico you will immediately proceed to the immigration booth at the airport where the immigration officer will keep the ENTRY Part of your form and he/she will stamp the Exit Part of the form which you will keep while in Mexico. When you are checking in for your flight back home, you will present the Exit Part of your form along with your passport (lost forms have a replacement fee of approx. $40 USD).

TRAVEL REQUIREMENTS TO RETURN TO CANADA

Departure Tax

Every tourist departing the state of Quintana Roo must show their proof of payment for the newly imposed tax at the airport prior to boarding.

The payment can be made prior to travel, upon arrival or during the stay, as the tax will be imposed upon departure. Visitors will have the option to access visitax.gob.mx/, where they will complete a brief questionnaire and make the payment. We strongly suggest doing this prior to your trip and making your payment online. The VISITAX form will request the following information:

· Number of people travelling
· Name, age, and passport number of each individual
· Departure date

ArriveCAN

ArriveCAN is a secure health passport app for iOS and Android that makes it easier to manage your destination’s required travel tasks. Upload your COVID-19 information and other necessary forms for travel so you can streamline airport check-in.

All vaccinated travellers must check in through the ArriveCAN app before returning to Canada.
