A Families and Couples Photoshoot at Planet Hollywood Cancún: Spots, Times and Prices

Planet Hollywood Cancún is full of energy, which is great for a holiday and tricky for calm photographs. The trick is location and timing: the rooftop and the quieter beach, at the edges of the day. Here is how we plan a session.

The Session at a Glance

• ResortFamily all-inclusive, Autograph Collection (Marriott)
• PoolsFour outdoor pools, a lazy river, mini golf and a cinema
• Adults optionPlanet Hollywood Adult Scene next door, 332 rooms
• Wedding venuesRooftop Terrace and Palm Pavilion, among others
• Beach facesEast over open sea

Where We Shoot

The Rooftop Terrace. When not booked, views over the sea and warm late light.

The beach. Open sea and room to play, away from the pools and lazy river.

Sunrise or Sunset

Times for this beach on the 15th of each month in 2027.

Sunrise for families with young children, the hour before sunset for couples.

How the Photographer Gets In

If you are staying at Planet Hollywood Cancún, 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.
