Akumal sounds perfect for you. Our friends got married there in January 2007. It is perfect little town and the beaches there are very nice as well. they got married on the beach outside of the restaurant La Buena Vida. It was perfect! Yah-kul Lagoon (sp?) is easily accessible and has excellent snorkeling - tons to see. Very off the beaten path but a quick taxi ride into the city of Playa.

We used Irene as well for our wedding May 10, 2008. She did a great job. The semi-private beach she took us to was absolutely beautiful. The girls she recommended for hair and make-up were both better than I could've imagined. The pictures and video came out great!! The DJ she recommended was NOT good. This was the only thing we had a problem with. When we complained about the music, Irene told us that this is what was played in MX. Not true!! Bring your own ipod! Overall, we were very happy with our wedding celebration. We stayed at Alhambra Hotel (next door to Maramao Beach where we had our reception) and we LOVED the hotel.

We had our rehearsal dinner at La Parilla. Our guests still talk about how good the food was that night. The atmosphere was great too! Keep in mind its an open air restaurant (as most are in town).

We had our reception there in May. We used WCs separate from the restaurant (caribbeanblueweddings.com). The food was pretty good, there were mixed reviews on some dishes. We paid the bar at the end of the night. The bar doesn't have a good beer selection. The setting was great right on the beach, and the place itself was nice. The dance floor was wooden slats making it difficult for girls with high heels on to dance, we all had to take our shoes off. The location is perfect though, after the reception you can go anywhere in town just walking distance away.

Your wedding weekend sounds awesome. We're planning on having our reception at Maramao!

Has anyone used Irene/Francesca from Caribbean Blue Weddings or have any information? I'm also getting nervous as I'm about to sign on.
