Reservations link

* Rooms must be booked for a minimum of 3 nights (hotel policy)
* To book your room, after selecting the Reservations link, you will want to select the "Book" Tab
* Please make sure that you select the correct hotel from the drop-down menu for your desired accommodation (hotel details and recommendations below)
* If you require an elevator, please select Grand or Maya, or you may request the First Floor at the other hotels (which have a maximum of three floors)
* Please note that when you receive the room rate it will be the TOTAL for your stay -- that is NOT the daily rate -- that is the TOTAL cost for ALL days you have reserved
* The Check In Date defaults to 02/02/2025.  Make sure to change the check-in to the appropriate date - 04/02/2025 (February 4, 2025- reservation dates are listed as Day/Month/Year).  You can make your reservation for 3 or 4 nights.  Although we are allowed group rates 3 days prior and post - sometimes it doesn't work on their system and it will state "Hotel not available".   Do not fret, they should have rooms, but it may require an email request.  (they are in the process of updating their systems - but that can take awhile).  Simply book the room for the nights that are available (probably 04/02/2025 - 08/02/2025) and send an email to groupreservations.mx@iberostar.com requesting the additional nights to be added to your reservation.  Feel free to copy ozlem@cmevacations.com on the additional room request.
