Meet Kerri Logan-Shirk, Owner of Sunlover Travel and our personal agent!

The closest airport to the resort is the Cancun International Airport (CUN).

We recommend booking your flights as early as you can with your preferred airline.

You can reserve your flights directly with your preferred airline. Please plan to arrive at least 24 – 48 hours before the wedding day in case of any delays or cancellations. A friendly reminder that the wedding is Saturday, November 9th 2024. One of the best websites to search flight itinerary and pricing is www.google.com/flights

If you arrive at AVA Cancun before the check-in time (3pm), you can utilize all of the amenities (pool, restaurants, activities, etc.) while you wait for your room to be ready.

Be Protected From The Unexpected

Optional travel protection pricing is available on the booking site. The insurance is "Cancel For Any Reason" and there are two options. Both offer the same coverage. The difference is the way in which the value of the trip is refunded if you needed to cancel. The least expensive option is a refund in the form of a vouchere to be used within 1yr of cancelation. The other option is refund back to the credit card on file. Cost of travel insurance is based on the total cost of your trip.

Why do I need travel insurance?

Because sometimes, you have to cancel a trip at last-minute. Travel insurance can reimburse you for your pre-paid, non-refundable trip costs – including vacation rentals, car rentals, hotels, and flights – if you have to cancel for a covered reason.
-Travel delays leave you stranded.
-Travel Insurance can reimburse you for eligible meals, accommodations, and transportation expenses during a covered delay.
-You get sick or hurt when you are far from home.
Travel insurance can reimburse you for care following a covered medical emergency while traveling. Some policies can even arrange and pay for a medical evacuation if needed.

During the reservation process, the registration form asks whether you are interested in travel insurance. Simply, select 'yes', and you will receive a quote directly from our travel agent. The price of travel insurance varies based on the cost of your package. Insurance can only be added at the time of deposit.

To be considered part of the wedding group, you must book through the group rates and not through any other method (even directly with the hotel). We have negotiated competitive group rates and secured a room block to make this as easy as possible for our bride and groom. Additional fees will apply to visit the resort or come to wedding related events should you book off property or book outside the group room block. The pre-negotiated rates include all-inclusive hotel accommodations, hotel tax and fees and shared-transfers. Room categories are available on a first come, first serve basis within the block.

• IMPORTANT: To book at these rates you are REQUIRED to stay a minimum of 3 nights or more. (example: Friday through Monday = 3-nights.) You can stay as little as 3nts or as long as you like, but three nights are required.

• The Negotiated Rates are available 3-5 days pre/post the room block dates (based on availability and approval from the resort). Our room block is from November 6th - 13th 2024.

•Any changes to a booking must be done in writing (via email) and changes requested after the final due date July 6th 2024) must be paid for in full upfront before they are confirmed. Any changes must be made prior to July 6th 2024 to avoid any additional fees. No changes can be made on a reservation once you are within 60 days of travel.

PLEASE MAKE YOUR RESERVATION NO LATER THAN: July 6th 2024

DEPOSIT: The total amount of the room cost is due at time of deposit. You have from now until July 6th 2024 to book your room.

CANCELATION TERMS: Cancel before July 6th 2024 and any payments are fully refundable. Cancel after July 6th 2024 and all payments become non-refundable. We recommend purchasing trip insurance for any unforseen events that may cause last minute cancelations.
