A Families and Couples Photoshoot at Etéreo: Spots, Times and Prices

In short

Etéreo is small and art-filled, so a session can mix editorial frames in its architecture with the beach at the last light. Sessions start at 245 USD.

A design hotel with 75 suites gives a session quiet corners and strong backgrounds. Here is how we plan one at Etéreo.

The Session at a Glance

Where We Shoot

The architecture. Coral stone, art and clean lines for editorial frames.

The Resol lawn and the beach. Open air and the Caribbean for the last light.

How the Photographer Gets In

For staying guests, there is no complicated paperwork: you register the photographer as your guest with the front desk a day or two before, and we check in on arrival. The vendor fee you may read about applies to weddings; for a private session, Etéreo guests are very seldom asked for it, and we confirm the policy in writing before your date. If you are staying at another hotel, a day pass usually applies. More in our guide to outside photographers at resorts.

Collections and Prices

Prices include editing and delivery in a private 4K gallery, usually within one to three business days.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where are the best photo spots at Etéreo?
The resort's art and architecture for editorial frames, the Resol lawn and the beach in the last light.
What time is best for a photoshoot at Etéreo?
For most couples and families, the hour before sunset; for young children, sunrise. Sunset here ranges from 6:07 pm in mid-winter to 7:32 pm in mid-summer, and Quintana Roo does not use daylight saving.
Can I bring an outside photographer to Etéreo?
Yes. As a staying guest, give the front desk the photographer's name and the session time in advance. A private session is very seldom charged the outside vendor fee used for weddings, but we confirm the current policy with the resort in writing. Non-guests usually need a day pass.
How much does a photoshoot at Etéreo cost?
IVAE Studios sessions start at 245 USD for 35 minutes and 15 edited photos. Essential Flow, the most chosen, is 395 USD for 60 minutes and 35 photos, and the Full Experience is 725 USD for 90 minutes with the full gallery. Galleries arrive in one to three business days.
