Also, pls excuse this stupid question but I've always wanted to know and am so embarrased to ask...what does "DH" stand for? I've come up with different variations for it but am sure they are all wrong. Any insight will help put my brain at ease. -
Sounds like you are good to go Trish!!! Congrats! And lucky you because she actually replied to your email. I would definitely print the email out, though, and take it with you when you go down to avoid any issues.

Welcome! You are going to love it here!
U should check out the Mexico threads...particularly the Riviera Maya one. I bet you can find another Iberostar bride on there!

OKAY. Good news. I just got off the phone with Lizette who apparently is Landy's assistant now that Sandra is gone. She told me the old prices will apply to those who booked before the new guide was distributed. I also asked about the Seaside Grill and she said it has already been reserved for me on my wedding day. Soooo, I think you should be okay if you made arrangements BEFORE they drew up their new wedding guide.
Hope that helps release some stress!

I'm right there with ya Trish! I feel your frustration! I sent Landy an email several weeks back and haven't hear from her. I want to believe they will respect the older prices for us since we booked before the new guide came out BUT every page of the older guide says "prices subject to change without prior notice". Soooo, I'm just gunna call her. It's the easiest way to get ahold of them. When I finally get through to them I will let you know what they tell me about the prices and the Seaside Grill ( I'm like you...the only reason I booked at DT was b/c they promised back in Jan I could have my reception there). -
Oh my GOD!!! These pics are amazing! Can't wait to see more. I loooove the steamy ones. Morgan looks incredible!!!

Neen, I want the lounge furniture!! I've emailed Landy about it but haven't heard back from her. Do u mind getting us info for it? I know the furniture would have to come from an outside vendor but my question is do we have to contact the company ourselves? Or would Landy do it? And also, what are the prices?
Thanks. -

It's 600 bucks for a white, shiny platform. It gets used a lot for receptions on the beach to make dancing easier for the guests. I'm using it because I'm trying to give my reception a "loungey" type of look. I'm looking into renting white couches to place around the dancefloor and small matching end tables with candles and stuff. But, if you are having your reception at the SS I don't think you HAVE to rent the dancefloor. I can definitely see why many people get it for the beach though.
And yes, I get your whole wedding mode. I've waited so long to buy things because I always felt our wedding was so far away. But now we are about 5 months out. Time to go turbo shopping!

Thanks for the update! Don't you just love Irene?! She has been very nice and very, very prompt with her answers.

My reception is at the Seaside Grill. I'm expecting around 55 guests so I think it would be perfect for us. Half of the restaurant would be dinner tables. The other half would be the dancefloor/DJ.
As for the indoor/outdoor question. I consider the SS to be semi-outdoors. It's a circular open air restaurant (meaning no walls) right next to the beach. That's what I loved about it. You can hear the waves crashing but you don't have to get dirty in the sand.

PULPARINDO. YUM! I buy boxes of them when I go down to visit family. It's a sweet and tart tamarind candy.
Also, "Glorias". They are a cross between dulce de leche/caramel. So good.
Mazapan is another one. All of these are very authentic and am sure your guests would love if only for the novelty!
I'm having a candy buffett too and am so excited!!

Don't give up! I went through the exact same thing. My heart was set on a beautiful beach wedding. I've always wanted it. And my FH and I talked about a "small, intimate" gathering. Well, we couldn't avoid it and everyone, I mean everyone, was asking if they could come. Soooo, just like you, I started looking at places near my hometown. Even went on a site visit at this really nice resort. But, my heart just wasn't in it. So, we stuck with the DW and guess what, about 30 people who told us were coming, aren't! And this is my immediate family I'm talking about. Trust me. They all say, we'll come. But now, when it's time to book, no one has. And I understand because the economy is so bad. Airfares are through the roof.
I suggest you go forward with what you've always dreamed of. You only get married once and you truly never know how many people will come. Don't try to please everyone because you'll never achieve it. Please yourself. Everyone else will have to make do.
Chin up!!!

That's exactly it! Don't worry! I've been there several times and when and IF it rains, it usually comes down hard for about 15 minutes. Then it's all over and back to the sun! You'll see when u get there. It will work out perfectly! And yes, the chapel would also be perfect!!

Thanks Alin! I do feel better now that my head has hit the pillow! I am not the bridezilla kind at all. I promise. Just got too much info and no confirmation. I'm hoping once the summer is over and our weddings are right around the corner Landy will be more prompt with her communication. -
So jealous! Have fun! If you can, can u post a review of costco, samsclub etc etc. I'd like to know what I can count on buying over there for my OOT bag. Things like candy, snacks maybe even pool toys etc etc. Thanks!

Amazing! I am officially inspired to do more. And since I have 5 months to go...I think I'll do it!
Thanks for sharing!

Sorry about the double post. I'm just pissed and it's making me do stupid things. And now I can't delete the first one. GRRRRR again!

Geez, can I just say all this sucks! Sorry to sound so harsh but it seems like things are changing...prices, venues, staff and no one tells us anything! How do I know everything I pre-arranged with Sandra will be respected? What about the prices? I'm getting the ultimate wedding package and am planning to pay for an additional 35-45 people. But a 10 buck increase per person adds up, especially considering I'm paying $15 pp for a bonfire immediately afterwards!
For the amount of $$$$ my family and I are dropping at the hotel, you'd think they'd be more professional. I have had patience since I chose this resort. Kept from sending emails and essentially planning because I know they are busy. But geez enough is enough! I emailed Landy 8 days ago just to make sure she had all my info. No answer. GRRRRRR.
Sorry ladies. Don't mean to b@&*! Just getting tired of it.

Remember, it will also depend on the # of couches, end tables etc etc.
Lets cross our fingers b/c if it is $1500 I don't think I could explain it to my FH.
