Grand Velas is my FAVORITE hotel in PV/ NV. I just stayed there for my honeymoon this week, and the hotel is fawless! I have heard that casa veas is also very nice, but from what I understand ( from the hotel) the grand velas is their nicest property.

I just had my wedding on Nov 18 at Casa Salamandra and it truly was the BEST night of my life. I have not posted much on here before the wedding, but used this site to help me with so many things along the way. I am going to post pictures ( as soon as i can figure out how ) and will write a full review on all the vendors we used. If anyone has any questions about anything, I'm happy to help. My family owns a condo down here and we are VERY familiar with everything. Happy planning! Tam

I cant believe this news!!! I was just in PV, and spend a whole day going down to the salon and booking everything for my wedding in November!!! Is there another salon you would recommend

I'm sure you're super excited to see the pictures and here all about the villa from your FI! It definately helps to have someone actually see the place before you're there for your wedding! Funny you mention the generator...we only found out about the after we put our deposit down...is this something that should be included?? Its like $700 USD! I was pretty surprised!

Hi Sandy, I wish I went to go see Casa China Blanca, it also looks amazing! How far is it from Nuevo? Casa Salamandra is very expensive and they really restrict what you can and can't use. I didnt realize all of this until after we put down a deposit. Seems crazy to be so picky when the price is more than double what the other villas charge. Either way, its the location we wanted and it really is a unique venue. I am not using DD, they had already booked up 2009, and they recommended Tamara and Lucie from Incredible Weddings. They have been amazing so far. How about you?

Hey! I am just wondering if anyone has any info on blu salon for hair and makeup? If not, are there any salons anyone could reccommend for hair and makeup for my bridesmaids?? Thanks!

Sandy, Did you try looking into Villa Del Palmar Flamingo?? My guests are staying there..ive been to Nuevo many times as my parents own a condo there, and it is by far the nicest resort ( other than grand velas) there are kitchen in all of the rooms, and many different options ( 2 bd room/3bdrm/studio etc). The grouds are amazing, and the pricing is great. There is an all inclusive option for $65/day usd, and a grocerie store on site with everything you could need. I was far more imperssed with this resort than villamagna, and really liked the different options for my guests.

Miss Di, Is your photographer located outside Mexico? How does her pricing work if so? Are you having to pay flight and hotel for her and an assistant?

I'm getting married in November at Casa Salamandra in Nuevo Vallarta. My guests are staying at the Villa Del Palmar Flamingo. I agree with you Roovian, a villa is far more private and more customized.

glad to hear the palace has lived up to and beyond your expectations. Enjoy!

Hello, I am getting married in Nuevo Vallarta in November. Excited and counting down the days! Tam
