Gran Bahia Principe Akumal/Tulum/Coba - POST HERE!

Wow corvette yiur DJ is only $17 per hour? That's cheap! I will have to think about doing that. Do you tell the WC right away if you want a poolside reception, or wait until closer to the date?

wow corvette, i think that sounds good too, good choice

 

anyone going to be there in about 3 weeks? we will be on our honeymoon and i'd love to say hi in person pm me!

 

we will be there april 11-18

Hi Emme,

The reception is poolside and the charge is basically for the set up. They do cocktail tables with cloths and open a bar which is normally closed. You get your own waiter and bartender. Here are the options:

1. Special Cocktail
Sparkling wine, Beer, Margaritas, Piña Colada
5USD /Pers extra hour 3 USD /Pers

2. National Bar:
Beer, Rum, Vodka, Tequila, Cocktails, Gin
17 USD/pers/hour
extra hour: 12 USD/pers

3. International Bar:
Beer, Tequila, Rum, Vodka Absolute, Whisky JW, Chivas 24 USD/pers/hour
Regal, Cutty Sark, Cocktails, Gin Beefeaters, extra hour: 18 USD/pers wine of the house, sparkling wine

We are doing option 1 as we found thats what we usually drank on holidays anyways, and there is apparently a lobby bar near by if people really want a different drink.

We are renting it for 2 hours and hiring a DJ. His cost is $150 US per hour.

I tried attaching the photos of the wedding site we are being given but it keeps saying invalid file.... can anyone let me know how to put photos on If not PM me your email address and I will send them to you.


Let me know if you have any other questions... Can't wait, less than 2 months!!!!!!!

hi Erica_Bellerive...i'm also looking to get married in april 2010...and probably staying at the coba side. i've also been there 2x and i like the rooms better too! we'll have to check out the hidden worlds cenote park...i never even heard of it!

It's great to see another Coba bride on here. Have you sent in your request for a wedding date yet midnight24? I am going to try and have my request form sent out by next week at the latest. I'm just trying to make sure I have all the info first! I hope we can help each other out over the next year!!

We were told that the DJ is $150 per hour. He is provided by the hotel, but must be paid in cash prior to the wedding. I have heard many good things about him. The bar costs are seperate from his services.

hi heidi, click on the link in my siggy for info on posting pics

Hi Erica,

We booked it shortly after confirming our wedding date. There are only so many locations, so if you decide its something you want, I'd say book it sooner than later! Dates fill up quickly, as it was we got the last wedding that week. But they made us wait till we knew which tour company we were traveling with before they would confirm our date, which was very nerve racking!!! But it all worked out and now less than 2 months before we board... wooo hoo

Thanks Abby,

 

Lets see if this works. Wedding site photos we were given for staying at the Coba.

 

 

no i haven't sent anything in yet or booked. we are hoping for april but we have a few details to work out...my guy is switching jobs in the next few months. it'll be nice to keep in touch for sure though.
