Hey Outdoor Girl 1010 - The week of my wedding is not flexible so as soon as the Riu came out with you being able to book your date of the wedding for 2010. I had my travel agent look into prices....the prices she came back with are a little more than I expected but I don’t really have an option of when I can go (March 15-20 is the only week people from our families can go). So how it worked was the price they gave us was the absolute highest price that we are going to pay - and when prices come out in May/June if they are lower then we get the lower price. The deposits of $200.00 per person were really to guarantee you are going – but realistically anyone can book at any time they are just not “guaranteed” to get a seat (as there are very limited seats out of the city I live in). Basically right now our parents, and close family members have booked – I suspect more of a pick up on bookings when the actual prices and schedules come out. I hope you can understand this….sometimes it is hard to explain…. if not let me know and I will try again... Cheers Marcie

Thanks Everyone!

Congrats and wish you all the best!!! Enojy your time

Hey ladies, I have officaly booked our resort - Riu Bachata and the date is set for March 20th - I sent out our save the dates cause we had to get some deposits into the travel agent prior to April 30th - most this was for family like parents who knew they were going for sure. ohh and I pick up my wedding dress on saturday - soo exciting

Hey Jamie, Wow - good for you & such a great idea! I double checked and yes they are accepted at locations in Mexico. Some things that I noticed in the terms and conditions of the cheques are: - Marriott Cheques may not be acceptable at concessions within the hotel not owned or operated by Marriott or Renaissance. Please confirm with the hotel prior to making the purchase. - If a registered guest, charge goods and services to the room and present the cheque at the front desk at check-in or check-out. If a non-registered guest, present the cheque at the time of purchase. The total charges will be reduced by the face value of the cheque. As they don't give you change from the check it is best for you or you guest to use the whole value of the check at once or charge the drink to your room and then you can use the checks upon check out. I really hope this helps if it not please let me know as I am more than happy to help with any questions you may have.

Hey - I have been working for Marriott for 7 years so to answer your question - Yes you can collect points on the suite and you can do so if you book it online or if your TA books it - you can either give your number when you make your reservation, when you check in or when you get your receipt you fax it in to Marriott rewards and they will credit points to your account. You can also get a Marriott Visa and collect points every time you use your visa card. I hope I answered your question - if not please let me know as I would be more than happy to help with this Marriott question and any others. Cheers Marcie

They look great!! I really like them!!
