Oh sorry I misunderstood what you meant. Our holiday package includes transfers from the airport to the hotel so dont need to pay any extra. We are also going to another hotel after the wedding. We are 2 weeks in the fives and 1 week in the royal cancun...secrets looks lovely

Oh really...that was one of our main reasons for booking the hotel! Oh well never mind. All the pictures of the rooms show the 1 bedroom suites however we have just booked a delux room. What are these rooms like? Also what do all the restaurants look like? Also I am flying over from scotland, will i just book my flowers, evening reception etc when I get there or do I need to do it all before I go? I was kind of hoping I would just to do it once I arrived there....thats one of the reasons why I am doing it abroad so someone else can arrange all of these details for me and I just pick what I want when I get there!!! Thanks

Hi there. We are not paying for our guests to come to the wedding. We have basically said to people where and when we are going and if they want to join us then great. Otherwise we are having a big party back in scotland for everyone who couldnt make it. we couldnt afford to pay for lots of people to come to mexico....if we could we would!! It is roughly working about £1500-£1700 per person for 2 weeks all inclusive and about £1200 for one week all inclusive...thats flying from Scotland. £1500 is equalivent to about $2300. I dont have a clue how much you guys would be in the states. I havent picked any flowers etc yet I am just guesing that I pick all that when I am over there. I would like to have a bbq and a dancefloor on the beach for the evening reception. I emailed fabio asking if he needs details of this prior to our arrival or if we can just arrange it all when we get there but he hasnt replied yet So are you steering more towards the fives or the sensatori? I have asked Fabio to provide me with ceremony and reception options but he says they wont be available until mid dec-january

Hi Peace, I have not booked a photographer but I will just go with one the the hotel offers. Karisma are quite strict with outside photographers....I you either need to pay $500.00 or book a 3 night stay for your photographer at the hotel. if you go to this link: Category Photography & Video - List of products - Weddings in Cancun & Riviera Maya by Lomas Travel This is the photographers that you can book through the hotel and done need to pay the outside vender fee. Claudia looks amazing but I think she is quite exp. I think we are going to go with caribe photo. The lomas website shows you some of the flowers etc that you can order. I think there are reduced rates for kids, I am from Scotland and there are reduced rates for kids up to 13yrs old...could be different in the states though. I am planning on doing a private dinner party, I would like to have a bbq on the beach...I cant wait so excited!! I was really close to picking the azul beach but thought that it was a little small and seemingly it is quite secluded. I think the azul sensatori is the same. I picked the fives because the hotel just looks amazing, its looks very cool and chic and I felt the location was better than the sensatori. Azul fives is within walking distance Playa del carmen so you have the option to go for a walk during the day and go out a night if you wanted. The location was my main reason for picking the fives over the sensatori, however the sensatori does look amazing!!

Hey eebruce. I am getting married on 30th June 2009 and I am soooo excited. Regarding the opening date, I read on trip advisor that this date has been pushed by to 21st Dec - not sure if this is official though. I will try and find the link to post it. Where can I get access to the new pictures and information? is it on the karisma website? Please can you also post the outlines and wedding options? I have emailed Fabio asking what options we have for the wedding reception as I want to have one on the beach but he says he cannot give me specific details until mid dec - start jan for some reason - if you can post your info that would be much appreciated :) I am glad there are other brides on here getting married at the azul fives...was begining to feel I was the only one as most people seem to be going to the sensatori.

I am not sure about the beach size and the natural area but I asked fabio how private the beach is and thsi is what he said to me "The Azul Fives is located next to a government protected area, that means that no Hotel will be located to one of our sides, to the other side there's a small 50 (aprox) rooms Hotel, therefore we do not expect heavy beach traffic at any time. "

Oh you will be busy on your site visit!!! I wil be looking forward to your site visit review of Azul fives as I am getting married there next year and posted on here if anyone had done a site visit...and no one replied So really looking forward to your reviews. have fun!!

Hi There sorry what do yoy mean by she is no longer having a DW - wot does that mean?? sorry if I am being a numpty!! Just realised it means Destination Wedding!!! doh! Oh no so am I on the only Azul Fives Bride on here??

Hi I am getting married in the azul fives in june 2009 and I was wondering if anyone has done a site visit at this hotel? If you have, do you know the options that are available for wedding ceremonys and receptions? I have asked karimsa but they say they are not sure yet!! this worries me slightly. I have just read the post about the sensatori and there appears to be lots of options for getting married but not sure if the fives is the same? If anyone has any photos of the site or any info about locations I would really appreciate it!! Many Thanks

oh thats fab its been confirmed. How long are you staying at the fives for? Have you thought about what you are going to do for an evening receiption etc or where you are wanting to get married? I have asked the hotel what the options are of places to get married but he was very vague!! oh its sooo exciting!!

Hey Weddingirl. I am getting married in the azul fives on Tuesday 30th June2009!!! only 10 days after you. We will probably be in the hotel at the same time as you as we arrive on 22nd June. It took my travel agent about 2-3months before they confirmed my date.

Hey JHarwood2Be the hotel doesnt open until Dec 09. I was a bit worried about booking a hotel that hasnt even opened yet!! I orignal choice was the azul beach...I almost booked it then saw that they have the 2 new azul hotels. Azul beach looks amazing so I am sure the hotel will be lovely!! How do you find out if anyone on here has done any site visits to this hotel p.s. Thanks for everyone welcoming me!!!

Hi all I am an azul five newbie. my name is laura and getting married on 30th june 2009. Does anyone have any more info about this hotel?
