Cody and Robyn will be arriving on Wednesday 12/1 and would prefer to have the first night alone. Most guests are checking in on Thursday 12/2 and staying through Monday 12/6. We can't wait to see you!!

PVR (Puerto Vallarta international airport) - This is about 25-30 minutes from the hotel.

Cody and Robyn plan to cover the transportation costs to/from PVR. Depending on when your flight arrives and if there are others arriving at the same time, it may be a larger transportation mini van, or simply an Uber that brings you to the resort.

Feel free to look up Costa Sur Puerto Vallarta – it is a highly rated all-inclusive on a private beach 10 minutes south of the famous Zona Romantica. It has 2 pools, 3 restaurants and a nice bar – ALL of the FOOD and DRINKS are included. Water activities are also included like snorkeling and paddle boarding. The private beach is protected by a natural rock reef, so you can enjoy the ocean without worrying about sharks or other large sea life. There are multiple longer stretches of sandy beaches in very close proximity, as well as closeby Zona Romantica and the famous Malecon/Boardwalk. * We encourage you to take an Uber and explore this beautiful town as much as you can! Yes, the Uber App works in Mexico so you do not have to rely on cabs. It is also extremely inexpensive to Uber around.

The deadline for booking rooms is October 4, 2027 — 2 months prior to the wedding date. If you want one of the more specialty room types (1 Bed Suite or Double Queen room, we'd suggest booking ASAP as there are not many of those types at the resort).  * 50% is required to book the room, and it is refundable up to 30 days before the wedding. Please double check the terms and conditions on the wedding room block hotel link provided in this website.

We both agree that your gift to us is your presence at our wedding and being part of this exciting occasion.

From Google AI - * Early December in Puerto Vallarta brings gorgeous, dry weather with daytime highs of 82°F to 86°F, comfortable evening lows around 60°F to 68°F, warm ocean water near 79°F, and virtually no rain. * Most users on Reddit agree that mid-to-early December weather is heavenly and marks the transition into a comfortable, lower-humidity dry season. * Temperature & Conditions * Daytime Highs: 82°F–86°F with moderate, pleasant humidity. * Nighttime Lows: 60°F–68°F, which feels refreshingly cool after sunset. * Water Temperature: Around 79°F, ideal for swimming and snorkeling. * Rainfall: Extremely low (less than a 6% chance of brief, occasional showers).“ * In other words - “PARADISE Awaits”

We kindly ask that you leave your kiddos at home to fully enjoy this adult event weekend.

No, we firmly believe nobody has a great time on vacation when there is a massive itinerary. We are hoping you take your vacation time to relax and enjoy the phenomenal weather and beautiful peaceful resort, and also hope you take some time outside of the resort to experience some of the wonderful things Puerto Vallarta has to offer. * The only events that are planned are the wedding and reception in the evening of Saturday, December 4th. * There will be a short sunset ceremony followed by a sit-down 3 course dinner, and then a reception with DJ/lighting/dancing/party fun from 7-11.

Daywear: Lightweight shorts, t-shirts, tank tops, sundresses, swimwear, open toed comfy shoes, and don’t forget a hat! * Evenings: A light sweater, wrap, or light jacket for breezy oceanfront dinners or walks. * Wedding: Bold beachy tropical theme – something fun that makes you feel tropical and fabulous! * Activities: Comfortable close toe shoes if you plan on exploring cobblestone streets, hiking the nearby hills, a Jungle ATV adventure! Water shoes if you would like to snorkel and explore the ocean more!

Yes, you need a passport. Luckily there’s plenty of time to get a new one or renew your existing one! And please remember for those who already have one to check the expiration date, as you can’t travel within 6 months of it expiring!

There are multiple longer stretches of sandy beaches in very close proximity, as well as closeby Zona Romantica and the famous Malecon/Boardwalk. We encourage you to take an Uber and explore this beautiful town as much as you can! Yes, the Uber App works in Mexico so you do not have to rely on cabs. It is also extremely inexpensive to Uber around.

Most cell phone carriers include free service in Mexico, but make sure to check the rules out on yours. Cody and I both have Verizon and Mom has T-Mobile, and both automatically switch over to a free calling / texting / Internet plan when we land in Mexico. It should be noted that there are limits on how much data you can use, but the resort does have free Wi-Fi.

Mexico uses the same standard electrical outlets we use in the US. No converter or special plug is necessary.

US dollars are widely used in Mexico, so there’s no need to exchange for Mexican pesos. At the resort you won’t need much more than small tip money for your favorite bartenders, waiters, and housekeeping staff since it is an inclusive. —They absolutely appreciate a couple dollars for a round of drinks or a 5 for dinner, that’s for sure! Make sure to change your money out and bring 1’s and 5’s, as it is hard to break larger bills. * As far as outside of the resort for buying souvenirs, I would plan to bring a small amount of cash, and larger purchases can be made with a credit card of course.

US debit and credit cards are widely accepted in Mexico. You may need to let your banking institution know you plan to travel to Mexico if you’ve had experience with them declining in the past due to potential fraud alerts. * The hotel is all inclusive, so you only need a small amount of money for tips and souvenirs if you choose. There’s no need to change US dollars for Mexican pesos. Just make sure to bring small denominations (1’s and $5’s), as change is hard to get in Mexico, unless you are OK with getting pesos for change.

Of course it is — it’s a darling, charming, friendly, walkable, lush green beautiful place. But here’s also an answer from Google AI. * “Yes, staying in an all-inclusive resort in Puerto Vallarta is very safe. Puerto Vallarta is widely considered one of the safest tourist destinations in Mexico, and all-inclusive properties add an extra layer of security with gated entrances, private security staff, and controlled guest access.  * Safety Considerations at Resorts * Gated Environment: All inclusive Resorts feature controlled access, keeping non-guests out and providing a secure perimeter. * Property Security: Valet and room safety boxes are standard; keeping your passport and extra cash locked up prevents minor property theft. * Resort Staff: Staff members are helpful, professional, and trained to assist guests with local needs or medical assistance if required.  * Leaving the Resort Safely * Explore Freely: It is generally safe to leave your resort to explore the Puerto Vallarta Malecon or the Romantic Zone during the day and early evening.  * Smart Transportation: Use official taxis or Uber rather than hailing unverified street cabs late at night.  * General Awareness: Practice the same street smarts you would in any major city—avoid dark, empty alleys or unfamiliar neighborhoods late at night.”

One of the reasons we chose Puerto Vallarta, other than the fact that it’s the first out of country place Cody and I ever visited together back in 2022 – is the clean, comfortable, walkable friendly vibe it provides, and also the close/easy proximity eliminating long travel days. * Here’s an answer from Google AI- * “Puerto Vallarta is considered a medium-sized city with a small-town feel. It has a population of over 290,000 people, making it a major urban center and the second-largest in the state of Jalisco, yet travel publications frequently rank it among the world's best "small cities" due to its walkable core. * Size and Vibe * Population: Over 290,000 residents live in the municipality, meaning it is a fully functioning mid-size city rather than a tiny village.  * Walkability: The historic downtown and Romantic Zone (Zona Romántica) are compact, highly walkable, and easy to explore on foot.  * Global Ranking: Condé Nast Traveler readers regularly vote it one of the top small cities in the world because of its intimate, welcoming atmosphere.” * Also note that Ubers are very popular here and the city has excellent cell phone service. Most cell phone providers from the US include Mexico plans for free. So no roaming or long-distance fees!
