Does anyone else think that they should turn the teen hang out into a dance club?!?! Happy New Year girls~

Erika, That is a great report. It makes me feel like some good change is happening. This new resort thing has sure turned out to be a roller coaster. She sounds like a good contact to have. How's your planning going with Fabio?

No other advice really, but I would reschedule the dress fitting, so you do not need to stress about one more thing. You have 4 months, right? Good luck to you!

Hey girls, We've been fairly quiet lately. Is no news, good news? Anyone talk to Fabio lately? I'm just patiently waiting until our turn to plan. P.S. Happy New Year!

All will be fine when your guests arrive, no worries. They will love the resort and a wedding on the beach or sky lounge will be amazing, just that alone is so worth the trip. here are some pics from her trip the first week of December Kodakgallery.com: Slideshow That's all fine and dandy, I'm not worried about the wedding. I know that'll turn out fine. What I am worried about is my guests coming back to their rooms and having their safe drilled out of the wall! No TA can guarantee that will not happen.

Ughhh....this makes me want to throw up!!!!! Puerto Morelos forum: Live reports form the Azul Sensatori - TripAdvisor I have tried to be positive, but this is just ridiculous!

Which makes me very excited that there are so many of us, but also means I am overwhelmed by the amount of information. I read some posts about the horrible wedding experience of a lady from TripAdvisor and that sufficiently freaked me out, but I am trying to remain positive. I have failed miserably at planning the last couple months, and I'm getting married on March 7, 2009. I have yet to plan the reception dinner, the rehearsal dinner, or anything else and I am beginning to realize how behind I am. I see that you contact Fabio to figure all these things out, but I can't figure out how to contact him. I've been to the Lomas site and sent a message through their "contact us" page, but I'm not sure if that is where I am supposed to be. Any help/guidance you can provide on this will be greatly appreciated, especially since I'm cutting it so close. And please lie to me and tell me I haven't delayed too much. The stress of all this is coming to get me. Eek. Thanks! Angie Here is Fabio's address [email protected] He has been under the weather after an accident, so I'm sure he has tons of emails to sort through, so don't freak out if it takes awhile. I usually give him a week and then resend. Don't worry about planning the dinners, i'm sure that can done pretty quickly. Start looking at the menus here for ideas on what you might want http://www.karismahotels.com/wedding...t-kit-2009.pdf Good luck!

OOT-out of town! we are planning on a travel candle, soduku books, samples of tylenol/advil/immodium, sunscreen (if I can find some cheap), insect repellent wipes, bookmarks and some fun stuff for the kids, beach balls, tattoos, squirt guns. We'll see if I can afford it all! It's easy to get carried away!

Inside Zocalo, there is a buffet station that has chips, salsa, guacamole and various ceviches -- but this is just a side offering to their main Mexican menu at the restaurant. Johanna-please let us know what you thought of the resort. The Tripadvisor reviews have been concerning. We'd like to know how "one of us" perceived the resort!

I know it is taking all of my will power not to order them!

I have the anthropologie starfish sandals to wear for the wedding. According to some girls over at the knot they are very uncomfortable. I have worn them around the house and I can see how they hurt. I just found these, I might have to look into them. Juicy Couture 'Frankie' Sandal - View All - Nordstrom

What do you think? I would love to hear your honest opinion! I love your centerpieces. I'm thinking of doing something similar!!

They look great! I'm also considering ordering the spa wraps through her. It's great that she's getting such glowing reviews!

Congratulations and welcome to the forum! That's great that you have narrowed it down to Hawaii. I recommend reading as many threads and reviews of Hawaii weddings as you can. Make notes of what you like about each one. I also used Tripadvisor a lot to help me, but some of the reviews should be taken with a grain of salt. Best wishes to you!

Congratulations! Beautiful wedding, I can't wait to see more pics. I really liked Shangri-La Caribe but they will be closed by April. Is that still the case?

I love Elf and Love Actually!

Welcome to the forum! You'll find lots of ideas and support here. Have you narrowed down any locations yet?

Thanks for posting, it's a great reminder of what life should be about!

I think the honey moon suites are on the end of each building, facing the ocean.

OMG, That's just dreadful! How do you even leave the house?

New pics. This will cheer everyone up! BananAlbum

About the showers- I read a few posts from different people on Trip Advisor saying that the showers do not flood the room if you 1. point the shower head a little towards the wall 2. open the door inward, rather than outward 3. pile towels on the floor in front of the shower It's ridiculous that it takes that much effort, but perhaps it doesn't have to be a total disaster. If you were designing 400+ rooms, you'd think that you'd think of that.

Jiffer-Best of luck to you. The Valentin is a beautiful resort!
