Air and airport- arriving: We fly direct from philadelphia by USairways (They are mess) We were suppose to land at 1:45pm but we realy landed @5pm The planes tow broke and we waited on the runway for 3 hours. We fly first class but so did a family with 4 kids- yelling and complaining... We finally arrived to a extremely bice airport. The airport had no one but our plane so we went through customs with no stops and we had 6 luggages and 2 carryon bags. We arrived at our hotel in 30 mins or less. The ride is crazy!!!! But just like any other carribean country. RESORT CHECKIN: We booked royal service so at arriving at the front lobby- we were taken to a separate checkin and it was outstanding. No lines and no waits.. The main lobby check in was a mess!!! The check-in 10 mins or less and off to our room. Which was building 19. This building was in front of the beach- we had the cornor room looking at the beach. It wsa amazing. ROOMS: The garden rooms in royal service and beach front rooms really all looked the same. The bathrooms are just ok- it has salloon doors which is weriod but no big deal. Other than that the room is great. we had no complaints. Our butlers for the 8 royal service guests were fantastic. But tip early and they will do what ever you want. drinks, water, extra towels, food, snacks, etc. WE had one guests are the reserves and they are really nice but very far from everything - they were late to everything. Which is annoying!!! But, very modern rooms, but they got a lot of calls about the timeshares. The royal service people in our group got no calls. Go figure. Royal service restaurant is where we ate breakfest everyday- they will make you eggs, omletes, etc. Its air conditioned and no smoking verses the buffet with lines and smoking. They wait on you at the royal service restaurant for lunch and breakfest. Well worth the upgrade!!! Plus the royal service front desk- was easy and no lines ever. The main lobby was crazy all the time. RESTAURANTS: We ate at all the restaurants but the brazilain restaurant. My favorite was Sakura, chinease, steak house. The other restaurants are great too but those were my top 3. Vento, el romincatco, dol votca are worth going to because they have really good food. The seafood restaurant was a waste of time, and limited choices. BEACH & POOL: We sat at the royal service pool and beach everyday. Jerima got us 15-20 chairs every day and drinks all day long. We tipped him and he was our best friend for the week. He even came in on his day off before we left. None of our group went to the regular pool or beach. WEDDING: We had our wedding in the lobby gardens because of rain showers a hour before our ceremony. But, it worked out for the best because the sun was shinning and no one had wet beach sand on them. We got married at 530pm - we had a civil ceremony and sand ceremony together. It was @25 mins total. We used the domincan trio and it was so carribean. I recommend them for the wedding. We took pics before and after to @7pm on the beach and gardens. The reception was at the alberfura restaurant. We closed the restaurant and had a DJ (3hours), firedancers, and a open bar and buffet all night. It was great and we had 25 people and had a great time. Then everyone changed and went to the lobby bar for a while. We had no problems with viviana- the invoice was the same as before we got there. Did you happen to use severine for photos?

Great review! And all of your pictures reflect the fun and love of your wedding week-end!

Congratulations! Love the teaser pic. Now on to part 2!
