Could everyone tell me there plan for hair and make up? Are most of you doing it at the PP Spa or elsewhere? Anyone know of a spa menu for these things or what type of makeup they use...Thanks
-
Does anyone have info on the quality of the salon? Are most of you planning to use it or go elsewhere? I'm also curious as to what type of makeup they use too. I've contacted waves salon as a consideration too but can't find any reviews on them.

The only thing I would say was on the negative side was only having 3 restaurants, as we got a little bored. There was always something good to eat but sometimes at the buffet somethings just sat took long. We loved the asian restaurants but the italian was not so great for our tastes as we have tons of great italian restaurants here in nj(but others we met there loved it so to each its own). Also they loved to put cream cheese in a hand full of the dishes (alot of the sushi had it and some of the italian) and i dont like cream cheese so i dont think that helped.

We only saw one wedding talking place for the whole week so that was nice compared to where we got married as they had one or two everyday. Let me know if you want any pics or info on the tours as we did most of them.

Thanks for the reassurance. I know it will be great!!! Did you have any trouble booking the tours when you got there?

Still waiting for some responses if anyone has been to Waves Salon?????

Where is everyone planning to get their hair and make-up done? Most recommendations are for people who come to the hotel. Anyone know what type of make-up the spa uses?

There are more terrible reviews on trip advisor. I know everyones opinion is different but they are bumped down to #25. Just scares me with so much money invested into the trip.

We have booked at Playacar Palace for Jan 2011. I too was affraid it was too dark, but I am trusting it will be fine.
FYI- We are using an outside photographer but was told we need to reserve them a room. We are only having 4 guests.
Good Luck I think we've made a great decision.

I've read somewhere that if the vendor owns their own company you do not need to tip them...Anyone heard of this??
For example if the photographer is the owner don't tip...but if they are an employee do.

We just booked our Wedding for Jan and I just read all the reviews from TA and now I'm nervous too. I wonder if its because of the merger with Wyndam. Everything has been so positive until now. I don't know what to make of it.

Has anyone booked for 2011 yet?
We are planning Jan 2011 and I would like to book through the wedding through the website and probally the room through expedia, nothing is being offered for 2011 yet. They sent me an application I could fax for the wedding but I just want them to open it online.

I was told the photographer would need to stay a night at the hotel to attend the wedding. But I am having limited guests, I suppose they can get the pass if they are in your 20% off site guests. -
So it looks like Playacar Palace is now part of the Wyndam resorts as well. Has anyone heard about any changes or what this does to wedding packages ect? Its making me nervous. Any info would be appreciated I can't find much.
BTW- On the Palace Resorts website with the list of all resorts is where they show the name change. There is no info under recent news.

Tanya Marie- Glad it will all work out for you!
What time is everyone planning to Marry vs sunset time? I wanted to do a 4:00 ceremony (jan 2011) sun sets at 5:30. Does that mean it will be dark at 5:30? We wanted to do a TTD shoot after the ceremony. Now I don't know what to do!!

Hi everyone,
PP is on my list but I am having a hard time deciding. Just wondering what your plans are for the spa on your wedding day. I know its off site and that makes me a little nervous. And the trouble of bringing in an outside photographer. Thanks you are all so helpful.

Anyone doing a trash the dress session? I really want to do it right after the wedding but I am unsure if I should do it at EPM. There doesn't seem to be and waves and the seaweed issue may not be pleasant for that. Does anyone know of any other locations close by that would work? Thanks

Hey everyone. I am debating between the Sun Palace or Excellence Playa Mujeres for a wedding for 10/10. I have received quite a bit of info from both resorts and I am really bothered by the Sun Palace not allowing outside photographers. I think it will prevent me from booking there but otherwise I love it.
Does anyone have info or examples from their photographer. They sent me some photos but that doesn't help with any specific photographer. I hope I can get around the policy somehow.

Hi everyone. Im new to the forum and all you girls have been so helpful. I am planning a wedding for Oct 2010 but haven't booked yet...am I too late I am so indecisive. I was hoping if anyone knows if EPM requires a certain percent of guests stay at the resort. Honestly I didn't want any guests, but my family won't let me get away with that. I just don't want anyone too close : P Thanks

I contacted the Waves Salon their prices seemed pretty good and include a trial. They asked for a %50 deposit which I wasn't exactly comfortable with cause I've never seen any reviews of them. I just wish I knew more about the PP Spa and how well they do. Especially make up.
