Hi - I am at the Akumal in November as well also inquiring about a pool side reception - just received a quote today but getting information is like pulling teeth so far. I am not entirely sure of how this works yet so if you have any information to date please do share! I was told a minimum of 50 ppl. I am not entirely pleased with the venue options for the ceremony that I was offered - I would love the Gazebo but it wasn't offered and have to only the beach; the other venue was not big enough for my guests. If anyone has any suggestions as to other venue's I should be pushing for I would love to hear them. Thanks!
