Mehli & Andrew's FAQ
LIKELY THE MOST COMMONLY ASKED QUESTION:
Are you seriously asking me to go all the way to Mexico for your wedding?
Yes! We would not be able to make the wedding convenient for anyone, so we decided to make it inconvenient for everyone… but hopefully in a location that makes it an amazing vacation for you! We realize how many barriers exist with just getting to this wedding, and therefore we do not expect anyone to feel like they have to attend. We are doing a reception in Idaho as well. If this is more your speed or you are just looking for an extra party, information can be found here (https://forms.gle/QuJxhakfXPBaFruQ9). If neither of these are doable, we know we are loved and that your attendance is not a reflection of that!
RESORT QUESTIONS:
Can I stay at a different resort than Sandos Caracol Eco Resort?
We would love for you to stay with us at Sandos Caracol Eco Resort; however, if that doesn’t work out for you, you are able to stay anywhere you would like. Please note that to get into Sandos Caracol Eco Resort for any of the events if you are not a guest at the resort, you will be charged $100 per person per day for a guest pass on the resort.
How many days can/should I stay?
The resort currently requires a 3 night minimum to book with them (which is subject to change, but hopefully unlikely!). With this said, we totally encourage everyone attending to make a vacation out of this and stay as long as you would like!
Which airport should I fly into and how far is the resort from the airport?
The closest airport is Cancun International Airport which is around 45 minutes away from Sandos Caracol Eco Resort.
Is there free hotel transport?
Our hotel does have a transportation service; however, this has an additional cost and is made through the Seek N Go travel agency. Reserve by sending an email to callcenter.mx@sandos.com or call the following numbers:

Where do I book my room?
We HIGHLY encourage you to book through Destify which is linked on the website. Destify gets a discount on rooms if booked through them. Destify uses “flexible booking” which means that the room rate is secured once a deposit is put down, otherwise the rate is subject to change. A deposit is $150 per person to secure your rate. We encourage putting down a deposit as soon as you know you are able to come to lock in the lowest rate.
Is the resort all inclusive and what does that include?
The resort is all inclusive! This includes unlimited food and drinks and a list of activities/entertainment options (including a water park!). Alcohol is included for all guests 18 YO and older. What isn’t included? Spa/beauty salon, private dinners, select wines/liquors, external tours. We encourage you to explore Sandos Caracol Eco Resort’s website to get a better idea on specifics.
What will the weather be like at that time of year?
In late May, the average high is around 90 F and the average low is around 70 F plus humidity. The feel like temperature is often over 100 F. There are also pretty good odds of getting rain during the time we are there as well!
CEREMONY/RECEPTION QUESTIONS:
Where will the ceremony/reception be?
Both the ceremony and reception will be outdoors.
What should I wear?
Beach casual! It will be hot and humid. Please dress in a way that promotes survival in such conditions. There will be doctors in attendance, however they are all off duty and likely intoxicated.
Are children invited?
The ceremony and reception will be child free. However, please feel free to bring your children to the resort. Babysitting services are available for an extra fee. Additionally, you could bring extra family/friends who aren’t attending the ceremony/reception to watch your children if you choose to bring them!
Will there be a welcome party or any other events guests are invited to?
Yes! We would love to connect with everyone that is able to come to the wedding. We will schedule more events as we get closer and have a better idea of who is able to come, what everyone wants to do, when everyone will be there, etc. We would love for you to fill out this form which will let us know when everyone plans to be at the resort. If we know you are there, we will let you know the finalized details of the plans!
MISC:
Who should I contact if I have questions?
Please feel free to contact Allaesa Marcellus (208-421-6291) or Hillary Gable (801-712-6177).
Can I bring other people (not invited to the wedding) to stay at the resort?
Of course! We are encouraging everyone to make this a vacation. Feel free to invite other friends/family to the resort, keeping in mind that we are unable to accommodate additional people at the wedding events due to very limited capacity for the events.
If I want to participate/support in giving back to the Mexican community while I am there, what are my options?
Sandos Caracol Eco Resort supports 4 different reputable community improvement programs which you can find at this link (https://fundacionsandos.org/). One of which is receiving school supplies, medical supplies, or soccer balls. This can be done by bringing it in your luggage or buying it in MX. A list of requested supplies can be found at this link (https://www.packforapurpose.org/how-to-pack/).
