Thank you all for the wonderful comments! It's a great place to have a wedding! we didnt really have an actual reception because we had a very small wedding, we just ate dinner at the Italian restaurant (which is very good) and cut our cake there as well. the cake we got was pretty small, it was enough to serve 10 people. I have some pics of it, but am still having trouble with my camera, so I will try to post some later. Ana always took awhile to email me back, but she is very busy planning all the weddings that are going on there. But dont worry, her and Alexis do a wonderful job. While we were there, we noticed that Alexis is always the one that is at the actual wedding, we never saw Ana at a wedding, (we saw 3 others while we were there)..It was around 89 degrees the day of our wedding, and we werent near as hot as we thought we were going to be, there is a cool breeze along the ocean.. We got our hair done in the salon at the resort, and when you ask Ana for the price list it will tell you $89 per person (or i think that is what it said) but when we got there and got checked in at the privilege desk,we got a 30% off spa services coupon in our welcome envelope.. so we all paid together and it discounted it to where we ended up paying around $45 per person. They do a very good job. I have tons of pics around the resort etc, so I will do the best I can getting my photos to attach, the ones I have uploaded are from my sisters camera. I will try and upload a couple more of hers until I can get mine fixed.

There is a few pics that we have got downloaded. During the actual ceremony they used my camera and we cant get it to hook up to our computer right now for some reason, so ill post those later.. the seaweed wasn't that bad, there is a tractor that comes along every hour or so to pick it up along the beach, there is quite a bit in the water though but it never really bothered us.. They have some kind of entertainment every night in the theatre, one night it was a comical type thing and one night they had a broadway play.. we didnt ever really go in the theatre but we walked past it a couple nights to stop and watch for a little bit. the pool bar usually stays open late, so you can hang out there and get drinks all night, and also the sports bar is open late.. the first night we got there they had a whole bunch of vendors lined up selling things and a couple guys painting so that was really neat, but the things we bought there we found a couple days later way cheaper at the shops we went to.. They also had what they called an "American Carnival" one night.. it was more for little kids, bowling with coconuts, and horseshoes and that kind of thing, all the workers there wore jeans and cowboy hats instead of their tan pants and white shirts.. and they had a Mexican Pow Wow one night and that was really neat to watch also.. And the night before we left they had Karaoke in the lobby.. that was fun and interesting to watch! We stayed 7 nights/8 days and never got bored, the resort is so big and very nice.. they try to save electricity so they have motion detectors in all the rooms, and if you are out of the room for like 20 or 30 minutes it shuts off all the electricity.. so all night long we were waking up having to move around so the fan would turn back on. and we had the Royal Master Suite, so we had a living room and a bedroom, so I would plug my camera charger in to charge overnight in the living room and wake up and my battery was still not charged, so then I realized not just the lights go off, but the entire electricity so it wasnt charging my camera overnight. But I just plugged it in the bedroom and then it worked fine since we were waking up alot to wave our arms and turn the fan back on, so it was also turning the outlet back on.. If you stay in the Master or Royal Master suite you will have a butler named Christian, and he is awesome. If there is anything you need or want, you just call him and he gets it done right away...

Me and my husband just got back from our wedding at Ocean Coral & Turquesa.. Ana and Alexis are great, but there was a couple things I got very irritated about. We arrived to the resort and had our meeting with Ana and picked out colors of bows and flowers (Hot Pink, because my wedding dress had a hot pink sash on it) and the set up was absolutely beautiful. During the meeting we picked the songs we wanted also, and the music was great. However, I had some emails with the photo shop before we left, and they told me they could go ahead and take pics without me pre-ordering a package, and we could choose whatever pics we wanted when our wedding was over. The day of the wedding they were changing prices, and said they couldn't take pics before we got a package because they didn't want to spend their time taking pics and take the chance of us not buying a whole bunch. I only wanted a photographer during the ceremony, not getting ready before or after or anything and they said they could not do that. I didn't have a chance to print the emails out before we left with photo prices, so I highly recommend if you want them then you should print out the email prices they give you!! Also, our wedding was at 3pm so we requested to have my flowers by 1pm so we could take family pictures before the wedding. After 10 phone calls that day we finally recieved my flowers at 3:05! Therefore, we had no time to take pics, and we started our ceremony late. I did tell them I wanted no flower in my hair to begin with, and when I was getting my hair done (which looked awesome) I decided I did want a flower, Ana was not there the day of my wedding so I called Alexis and asked her if we could go ahead and add a flower and still get them on time (If it would have made my flowers later I wouldn't have gotten one), and she said of course..So I was irritated my flowers were 2 hours late.Alexis works very hard at her job though, and does a great job! The flowers are brought to the resort by a flower company.Overall, the wedding was beautiful, the location was perfect, we were in room 17208 and our balcony was overlooking our setup so that was really neat. We will definitely be visiting the resort within the next year, it was amazing, grounds are great, the staff is absolutely wonderful. We will be using Ocean coral & turquesa on any trip we take to Riviera Maya without any questions asked!! Hope you have a wonderful wedding, If I can get some pics to upload I will put them on here for you. =)
