awesome picture...cant wait to see more!

oh trust me I DID . I was impressed because this morning with my breakfast (made by him while I was sleeping..he's totally kissing butt) he had printed out reviews for 4 different resorts..I think he finally got the clue how stressful it can be to research!

Ok I am not in any way cutting down the Dreams Cancun resort, and do not want to upset or worry anyone. First off my friends went to Dreams cancun to celebrate a wedding anniversary. They were very impressed with the staff and felt that they are what really make the resort. The first two nights of their stay they did not have air conditioning. The hotel was very good about sending a maintenance person to fix their ac, but each night when they arrived back at their room the ac was not working. The hotel offered them to change rooms on their 3rd morning there. They said their next room was much better, their only complaint was a bad smell that came from the sink, so they just closed the bathroom door and said that was not a big deal. Another guest who was part of their group had problems with sewage in the bathroom in the middle of the night. The hotel sent someone to clean their bathroom, and temporarily fix the problem until morning. I guess the smell was really bad. They also switched rooms. Another comment our friends made was that the couple celebrating the anniversary were upset with paying the per person amount for food. They discovered some of the same food served at their reception on the menus at the restaurants on other nights of their stay. I know these things are not HUGE, but my fiance will not change his mind. He is just afraid of the risk if something like this would happen to one of our guests. My friends did comment on the gazebo area being gorgeous! They also spoke with a couple there who had their wedding at DC the week prior, and they were beyond satisfied with the reception and ceremony. I don't want to worry anyone with these details, I just have a very picky fiancee who's mind is made up!!

I have been searching high and low for reviews on The Royal in Cancun. Are there any Royal Cancun brides out there? I am looking for as much info on that resort as possible Thanks so much!!

AGAIN I need to Vent...Thank you to all of you who are so supportive here!! I will start by saying that yes I am lucky that my wedding is not until October 2009, and I do have time to plan. BUT it is frustrating to start the planning/researching process all over again. So originally after many long hours of researching, asking advice from other Dreams Cancun brides, and talking to my travel agent..my fiancee Sy and I decided to have our wedding at Dreams in Cancun. We were just about to send our down payment, when other peoples reviews really got to us. I met a girl on this forum by the name of Tiffany who had a bad experience at Dreams. She gave me her point of view, her emails were very helpful...but with an open mind we still kept our plans for our wedding. Sy and I were mainly waiting to hear back from a friend of our family who was going to Dreams Cancun for a vow renewal at the end of June. They had a few unwanted experiences while staying at Dreams Cancun. Now after talking to them, there is no way to convince my FI into sticking with our plans of having our wedding at Dreams. I'm pissed because I do understand that you will always find someone who has something bad to say,and that there are many couples who have had amazing experiences there. I was completely in love with the gazebo, and the terrace set up...so now I'm bummed!! I think my FI is just freaked out because for most of our guests it will be their first time in Mexico. Does anyone have any suggestions for AI resorts in the Cancun area that offer a private/semi private reception??We are back to the beginning of our planning process! AND AGAIN TO ALL OF THE DREAMS CANCUN BRIDES: I really appreciate each and every one of you !! You have taken the time out to send me personal emails, pictures, posts etc..you are all amazing and I wish you nothing but the best in your planning and your wedding day! THANKS FOR HEARING ME OUT!!

WEIRD..if the link doesnt work feel free to email me at [email protected]

Ok I'm not sure why that link says Home but just in case it doesn't work I'll try it again!! Home

I'm having mine made by Chez Nicole invitations. Nicole Butts is the designer. She is great!! She works out of MN but has worked with clients from out of state. She is working with my price range of $300-$350 for 100 invitations!! She tries her best to work within your budget. Here is her website. All i did was email her pictures of invitations I liked, and the style that I am going for. She is supposed to get back to me within the next week with ideas that she has came up with. Here is her website. Best of luck to you!! Home

ok so in a previous post I said that Gaby had been getting back to my emails right away that lasted maybe 5 emails..so I def spoke too soon!! I'm sorry to hear that you are having trouble. I would buy a phone card and call the resort!! I have only gotten through once and that was on a Monday I called them at 9:30 their time. I would start hassling them!! I'm sorry I can't really answer any of your questions...but just in case I sent your questions in an email to gaby, if I hear from her I will def. let you know! Take care

wow your stuff is amazing!! that cake looks TO DIE FOR!

Love This!

I'm so sad!! I really want to see this newsletter! I tried downloading it and I saved it to my computer and it was BLANK !! now my points are gone too. I wonder if I am downloading it wrong! kat is there anyway that you could email it to me [email protected]. THANKS!!

Wow Amy your stuff looks amazing! You have worked hard!! I can't wait to see how the big day goes! CONGRATULATIONS!!

Too cute! What a great idea!!

Hi Tiffany, I'm really sorry to hear that you had such a bad experience. What were some of the things that went wrong? I haven't heard a lot of bad things about DC yet, so messages like these tend to make me very paranoid and worried...I'm sure that there are other future DC brides that would agree with me. If you could be more detailed about your experience I would really appreciate it!! That could be very helpful to the rest of the future DC brides!! Better yet will you write a review on the resort? Thanks and congrats!

Best of luck, I'm sure it will all work out!!

SO HAPPY that Graham left..something creeped me out about that guy!! He seems like the type of guy that could turn into a TOTAL JERK!! I really like Jason..but again I agree with you ladies he's TOO good for her!! I'm very excited for next week and the tell all!!

I also received an email from Gaby regarding Daniela leaving. Since I'm just starting this whole planning process I didn't work too much with Daniela. But so far Gaby has gotten back to every one of my emails either the same day or within one day. Who knows if that will last, but so far Gaby has been very helpful! Only problem I have been having is trying to call and speak with one of the WC's. I have called at different times of the day, and I am always told that they are on their lunch or I get a voicemail. Have you girls been having luck calling? I have been trying to call for 3 weeks now!

Best Of Luck To You On Your Boards!!

Thank you so much for the reviews and pictures!!! Did you decide on a resort yet?

Thank you so much..ive been looking for a post like this and was just about to make one myself I have found a few updos at naturallycurlygirl.com other than that I also need ideas..if any one has pics please post and if i find any i will too!!! THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you!!

Im so frustrated...I bought a calling card and have tried calling the wc's at Dreams canun and so far I have had to leave messages on the answering machine. OF COURSE they have not called me back! Anyone have an idea of when the best time is to call

Cant wait to hear about your visit!!

Hello DC brides! I was just curious if anyone here had pictures of the Dreams cancun reception sites. On my Q&A form the options were the beach,club terrace,garden, and ballroom. I would love to see pictures of each to get a better idea of which reception area would work for us. For now our TA told us just to pick one, and that we could always change the location since our wedding is over a year away. I am expecting about 90 guests and am not sure which area would be best. Also, are we guarenteed that our reception would be private for only our wedding guests?? If anyone has any pictures to pass along that would be great. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
