Frustrated Bride - Moon Palace


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

I'm getting married on June 5, 2011 at the Moon Palace.  Everything up to this point was running smoothly.... until this past Monday (3/21/11) I found out from the photo department at the resort that they are NO LONGER using the 1500 promotion (resort credits) for the photography.  I was told "not to worry, the new pricing comes out March 26, 2011 and will be cheaper.  WHAT since when is cheaper better than FREE.  I wanted to do the Superior photo package for $1250.00 and use my credits.  Now we have to pay out of pocket.  I was not expecting to do this and certainly not two months before my wedding.  At first I thought I just had to book before the 25th, but NOPE you have to get married before then.  Oh and why didn't the WC tell me that when I inquired about using the credits for our photography....I'm so frustrated!!!!!!!

Eskie, Wow! This is a brand new issue with Palace Resorts. They are always changing the rules to make sure people can't take advantage of the full $1500. We were planning on using part of our resort dollars to get the video. We just got an email from the photography department this week, but since our friends will be taking professional photos I never replied. I will send a message now. We are less than a month away, so we would be in an even more desperate situation.

Okay, so I got a message back today from Palace photography. I was told that the promo dollars ended March 25. It does not look like any prices changed that much. I will post the prices on the Moon Palace wiki. I think I am going to try to fight it because the palace promo is still posted on their website and there is no mention of an expiry date.

Hi Everyone,

 

I looked today as well for the new pricing and saw that it is still showing the old prices along with the $ symbol for promos.  I contacted the photo department again and was told "yes, I noticed it and reported it to the operations manager".  I replied with this is ridiculous and I'm very annoyed at how you are running a business.  I also asked for the managers phone number.  I then contacted my WC Val Vera and said the same thing.  We'll see what I get back.  GRRRRRRR

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
