Grand Oasis Palm is an Oasis Hotels all-inclusive on the north shore of the Hotel Zone, facing the calm Bahía de Mujeres. For a session, choose the hour before sunset, or sunrise if you have young children. Sessions start at 245 USD.
Whether you are a couple, a family or three generations together, a session at Grand Oasis Palm works best when the hour and the spot are chosen for this beach. Here is our plan.
The Session at a Glance

Where We Shoot
The bay shore. Calm water facing north, with soft light at the end of the day.
The water's edge. We always finish at the shoreline, away from the pools and loungers, where the background is only sea and sky.
Nearby. Public beaches along this shore, such as Playa Langosta and Playa Tortugas, have the same calm water if you want a second setting.

The bay is calm and shallow, ideal for children, and in summer the sun sets over the water to the west; in winter, the hour before sunset gives soft, even light on the sand.
How the Photographer Gets In
If you are staying at Grand Oasis Palm, the photographer comes in as your invited guest: give the front desk our name and the session time a day or two ahead, and we check in at the lobby. For a private session, a staying guest is very seldom asked for the outside vendor fee that resorts charge for weddings, but policies change, so we confirm it with the resort in writing before your date. If you are staying elsewhere, expect a day pass for the photographer. Our guide to bringing an outside photographer to a resort covers both cases.
