Planet Hollywood Cancún, part of Marriott's Autograph Collection, promotes wedding venues such as a Rooftop Terrace and a Palm Pavilion. Its adults-only sister, Planet Hollywood Adult Scene, sits next door. Plan a beach or rooftop ceremony about 90 minutes before sunset.
Planet Hollywood Cancún is a lively family resort on Costa Mujeres, with an adults-only sister next door for couples who want quiet. Its wedding venues include a rooftop, which on an east-facing coast is the best place to catch the last warm light. Here is how we plan the photography.
The Resort 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
Venue names and capacities come from the resort's wedding listings and change with renovations and packages, so your coordinator's current sheet is the final word.
Where the Ceremony Happens
The resort's wedding page promotes venues such as the Rooftop Terrace and the Palm Pavilion; ask the wedding team for the full current list and capacities. The rooftop is our favourite for ceremonies and cocktails: height puts the sea behind the couple and keeps warm light after the beach falls into shade.
Because Planet Hollywood is a busy family resort, we choose ceremony and portrait spots carefully to keep pools and other guests out of the frame.

The beach faces east over open sea, so the sun sets behind the resort; the rooftop keeps the warm light longest. We plan ceremonies to start about 90 minutes before sunset, so that family photos and portraits fall in the warm last light.
Bringing Your Own Photographer
Expect Planet Hollywood Cancún to charge outside wedding vendors for access. Resorts call it a vendor fee, an outside supplier fee or a day pass, and they revise it by season and wedding package, which is why we do not print a number here. The moment to negotiate it is before you sign your wedding package; afterwards coordinators have little room. Ask whether it is charged per vendor or per person, and get the answer by email. We handle the paperwork with your coordinator.
