(EMAILWIRE.COM, January 25, 2010 ) CELESTUN, Mexico— Hotel Eco Paraiso, located within the Special Biosphere Reserve of Celestun on the northern Gulf of Mexico, on the Yucatan Peninsula can offer couples looking for a different, very special experience, a traditional Mayan wedding ceremony. The eloquent and emotive ceremony, performed on the beach by a Shaman priest is in accordance with ancient Mayan wedding customs. A civil ceremony, including legal documents, can be incorporated.
The “Eco-Chic” hotel, which features 15 individual cabana suites all with private terraces, complete with hammocks, providing expansive views of the Gulf of Mexico, was carefully created within the ecologically sensitive area. Situated feet from 3 miles of pristine, shell-filled beach, the area is a main feeding ground for the Pink Flamingo, Pelicans and many other sea birds as well as a breeding ground for sea turtles.
The property includes the newly constructed Restaurant Xixim and bar El Santuario plus a fresh water pool overlooking the Gulf. The resort offers multiple choices for local tours to allow guests to explore the archaeological wealth and unique ecosystem of the Yucatan.
Hotel Eco Paraiso is best accessed through the international airport in Merida, which has flights direct from the U.S. as well as through Mexico City with a 90-minute arranged transfer. ###
