**We have TWO resort options to choose from**

We will stay at the luxurious Paradisus Complex, which hosts the Paradisus Playa Del Carmen and the Paradisus La Perla Adult Only All-Inclusive Resorts.  These exquisite resorts offer the perfect backdrop for our getaway, featuring modern amenities, stunning ocean views, and world-class service. 

View photos of the resort and rooms. Share the excitement with your family and friends!  

• Shared Property: They make up two sides of the same property. Paradisus La Perla is the adults-only section, while Paradisus Playa del Carmen is the family-friendly section.

• Shared Amenities: The two sides are right next to each other and are separated or connected by shared central areas, including the main lobbies, spa, fitness center, and various restaurants.

• Location: The entire complex is located at the northern edge of Playa del Carmen (addressed around Calle 88 Norte and Avenida Norte), roughly 10 minutes from downtown Playa del Carmen and 45 minutes from Cancun International Airport. Guests staying at La Perla typically have access to amenities across the broader complex.

What is all-inclusive? It means all your food and beverages (including spirited beverages, NOTE: minimum drinking age is 18 in Mexico) are included in the price.  Eat at one of the 14+ restaurants and enjoy refreshing beverages at one of the many bars on the property. Bring some tip money and pocket change to check something off your bucket list, like zip-lining through tropical forests or horseback riding along the beach. You can relax by one of the many pools, put your feet up at the beach, or enjoy the complimentary daily activities and nightly shows!

Package prices include more than just a resort stay.  They are packed with group events yet give you plenty of time to enjoy the resort or venture off alone. 

We will have a special link for you to book extra excursions.

1.  Making reservations for this package signifies your acceptance of our Terms and Policies.

2.  All payments to Langford Travel, LLC are non-refundable and non-transferable.  This is a significant commitment, so we advise you to purchase a Travel Insurance Plan to protect your investment. 

A 'CANCEL FOR ANY REASON' Insurance policy is the most comprehensive plan and must be purchased within 7 to 14 days of making your deposit.   Most insurance plans can be purchased up to final payment or in some cases 24-hrs prior to travel.  Be prepared for the unexpected, such as the global shutdown due to COVID-19.  

3.  It's essential to make reservations in your FULL NAME as it appears on your passport. This will help avoid any issues during your travel.

We like "happy clients"! Although you may not be able to attend this trip, we'd love to have you join us on a future travel experience.  See Travel Protection Insurance below.

COVID-19 and the economy has taught us that "anything can happen".  Missing a vacation is bad enough. Losing the money you paid for your vacation is even worse.  Therefore, we highly recommend Travel Protection that helps provide coverage for Trip Cancellation, Interruption, Baggage Loss or Delay, Medical Expenses and more.  

You are highly encouraged to select and purchase travel insurance for your domestic and international tours. Protect your investment. Anything can happen: a missed flight, getting ill while on vacation, or a family emergency. Below is a link to several insurance companies.  We highly recommend purchasing a travel insurance policy. A Cancel For Any Reason policy is the most comprehensive plan available.  

If you choose a "cancel for any reason" policy (and you should)  most carriers require that you buy the policy within 7 -14 days of the initial purchase/deposit and some the day of your initial deposit. Read the terms of the policy carefully and if you have any questions, contact the insurance provider at 1-877-906-3950.

You must confirm if you understand the importance of purchasing travel insurance. Select the travel insurance link to view policies. If you have questions while purchasing, contact the Toll-Free number to speak to an insurance agent at 1-877-906-3950.
