  1. Hi Starfish,

     

    As of yet we have not heard back from the WC or our TA. we are waiting to here back if we can get our 200 wedding deposit back. With sunwing, they were willing to give us (bride and groom) back $100 bucks, since the resort is running as usual. Thankfully none of our invited guests had put down their deposit, so we didn't have to worry about that. sorry that i can't help any more than that. good luck with your fight to get some money back.

     

    I was told by some relatives that if you, or your guests, booked by Credit card you can go through them to see if they will reimburse you the money you lost with Sunwing. I was told AMEX and maybe Visa do this. we haven't tried this route yet.

  2. Hi all,

    we got an email back yesterday from our Travel Agent saying that Sunwing is not willing to give us our full deposit back (for the Grand Sunset Princess) because the resort is open in full swing. Even though tragedy struck on the Rivieria side they are not considering themselves to be in danger on the sunset side. In good spirits we were offered only $100 back from Sunwing because of the explosion that happened at the resort.

    We have still not heard back from the wedding cordinator as to if we can get our $200 deposit back for the wedding either.

     

    has anyone else had issues with sunwing or the resort in terms of trying to get their deposits back?

  3. We are still waiting to hear back from our TA as to if we will be getting back the deposit from the resort. She said that sunwing is going to refund our deposits as well. We are also getting back the deposit from the photographer we hired. So fortunetly we think we will be getting all of our money back, and none of our invited guests had yet put down their deposits. Still not sure if we are going to switch to another resort in Mexico at this time.

  4. We were at the Grand Rivieria Princess last October for our friends wedding. love it so much that we booked it for our wedding in June 2011. However, now with everything that has transpired at the resort we have chosen to cancel our wedding. Not sure where we are going to rebook. good luck to all you brides heading down there in the next few weeks. im sure the WC will do everything she can to make it a beautiful day for you.

  5. Hello,

    We have booked our Wedding for June 3,2011 at the Grand Sunset Princess. I have some questions if anyone can answer them that would be great :)

    1. Can anyone recomend a good photographer for under $1200......or has anyone used Octavio Montes? is he good?

    2. the wedding coordinator, Patricia, is saying that for the Thai restaraunt it is $100US per person for a dinner reception. is it worth it, or is there a semi-private option?

    3. What a la carte's are best to use for the reception dinner that are included in the package?

    4. is it worth the extra $700 US for the Yuppa set up? i love the look of it!

     

    Thanks :)

  6. Hey Ms Burns !

     

    thanks for your review and your lovely pictures. you looked awsome!

    just wondering what the weather was like for you the week you were down. you were there the last week of june?

    we are finalizing our date for next june, early june, and are concerned about the temperature being too overwhelmingly hot.

     

    did you get your hair done at the salon at the resort? it looked beautiful. i also have long curly hair and don't really want to put it all up :)

     

    also, do you mind me asking how much your photographer was (just for the photos).

     

    thanks

  7. Hello,

    My fiancee and I thinking of this resort for our wedding next spring.

    We were there in October for a friends wedding and loved it. Although i love the gazebo, it is beautiful, i have always dreamed of being right on the sand getting married. did anyone here go this route? and if so do you have any photos to share? how much extra was it over the price of the wedding package?

     

    thanks

    Michelle

  8. Hi Michelle

    I was just wondering if you had gotten any more info from Eduardo regarding the wedding ceremony site, any photos, or have any info regarding the wedding packages.

     

    We are really interested in this resort because of the fabulous beach, but there is hardly any info on the net about the weddings taking place.

     

    What made you decide on this resort, rather than going back to the Royal Tulum, or the Cat Yucatan?

     

    any other info you have would be great, considering you seem to be the only one on this site going to this resort for their wedding!!!

     

    thanks for your info,

    michelle White

  9. Hi Ladies,

    I have been looking at this resort for our wedding but am skeptical because of the lack of info and pictures on the internet. I to have only recieved emails back from Eduardo (he told me he has taken over the wedding stuff for now).

     

    if you have recieved any wedding packages/photos and would be willing to share that would be awsome. the reviews are mixed for the resort on trip advisor, but everyone says how lovely the beach is (that is what we are looking for). I would go to the Catalonia Riviera Maya however i hate the look of the wedding tent.

     

    thanks,

    michelle
