Beverly: I went the all inclusive route just because I didn't want my guests having to worry about how much they were going to pay for food and drinks. I think it's just a better deal. Good luck deciding. Chelymo

The joy really is overwhelming isn't it? Congrats!

Stacey: I'm sure you will be able to find lots of help on here. Congrats.

I'm a Dreams Palm Beach bride to be - 5/1/10. I too was between the Melia and the Dreams. Chose Dreams because my TA told me how easy they were to work with and so far it's been a pleasure. Good luck making your choice.

Aracelis & Darrin - May 01, 2010 Dreams Palm Beach, Punta Cana

This is great - I've been looking for a bag at the .99 cent price point. Thanks for sharing.

PynkLemonade: Do you mind sending me the pics as well to [email protected]. Thanks!

Hi Tina: I'm from Ft. Lauderdale and I too am getting married at Dreams but Palm Beach in Punta Cana. Ceremony on May 1, 2010 - can't wait! This site is amazing you will find plenty of stuff to help you in your planning.

I was having the same issue with finding the right location for me. I was torn between Jamaica and Punta Cana. I just booked Dreams Palm Beach in Punta Cana with the help of this site. You will find great feedback from soon to be and previous Brides on resorts and just about everything else. Good luck!

Another great thread. I just finalized my date - May 1st, 2010 at Dreams Palm Beach in Punta Cana. Everyone who I've sent STDs to are just as excited as I am! I'm going to start reading this thread from the beginning to see what great ideas are being shared. Happy planning fellow May brides.

Just take some time to read through the posts and you will be fine. Good luck and welcome.

Just booked my May 2010 wedding - yayyyyy!!!! I'm having a beach wedding does anyone have any images of the beach set up. I've seen plenty of pics of the gazebo but nothing on the beach.

These are the best pics I've seen of the resort thus far. I really wish I could see pics of a beach wedding set up though. It's been tough to find.

Welcome - enjoy planning.

But the majority of the reviews that I have read a not so good everyone complains about the A/C in the rooms and say that the place is in disrepair?? Did you or your guests have any issues with the air conditioning?

I am sure that your rates would be a little cheaper from MIA than from DC, especially since you have so many options for direct flights. Christina: I'm not 100% sure but the only nonstop out of MIA is on American Airlines so I am assuming on AA. I did check from Ft. Laud since it's not far for my guests and the fares would be about the same (Air Jamaica and Spirit Airlines).

I have found some rates online that are around the rate that you're getting so I'll either direct my guests to the discount websites or find a TA that can get those same rates. I don't usually use travel agents but I'm thinking it might be a good idea with a large group. Lisa NegrilLB: I would recommend you definitely talk to a TA, mine quoted me $1260/pp double occupancy for 7 nights which includes air from Miami and $713/pp double occupancy for 3 nights again including air these rates are for last week of April 2010.

Welcome you should be able to find enough info on here to help you decide.

I just joined yesterday and was in the same boat. I searched under the Jamaica forum and it really has a lot of information on all the different resorts. It will really help you alot. Good Luck.

Congrats and welcome! I was torn between Jamaica and Punta Cana and now after reading all the threads think I'm set on Iberostar Rose Hill. Check it out under the Jamaica forum. Lots of great information.

Congrats and welcome - I just joined this site yesterday and have found more information here than in all of the research I've done the past month.

Congrats and welcome!

Ladies - Trying to decide between resorts - I'm expecting to have approx. 45 guests at our wedding and the packages that Dreams has are for max 20 guests. Does anyone know what the per person charge is for the additional guests?

Hello all - I just want to say thank you to everyone on this thread. I have been searching for a destination between Punta Cana and Jamaica for a month now and after reading all of these comments. I think I just made up my mind. Now I just need to ensure two more things if my date is available and do they have scuba diving
