You are supposed to get the full amount back minus like $10/night for service fees or something?!?!

That sort of sucks. I was counting on the to be applied as a credit for everything we are adding on. I am not waiting until after I leave to get that credit back for the room it should be immediate, ours is like $3k we get back! My fiance is Mexican so he can usually get around those types of things with similar cultures and such...I will pray that that works! So crazy to me!

I am not using a travel agent, so maybe that is where this issues come in....

So if you did a group contract and booked hte 75 nights, that earns you 7 complimentary nights, but you dont get an immediate credit? They credit you back AFTER the trip?!? Thats obnoxious!

Sorry if you didnt get married on the cove side/Coba gazebo, I think I was reading my own profile lol. I was typing and not really processing/thinking!! So much to do before Saturday my mind is all over the place!!!

Chase, Since you did get married on the Cove side in the Coba Gazebo, throughout the whole experience, what do you wish you would of known beforehand? Is there anything you would of changed? We are having a cocktail hour on the Cove Terrace Friday night, then Getting married in the coba gazebo at 6pm on saturday, then dinner at the Maracas Terrace after with Mariachies, then going indoors for a dance party with a DJ. Any suggestions, feedback, comments that you have not mentioned yet would be amazing!!!!! Thank you Sarah

Thank you!!! That helped put me at ease a little. Once I get there and get a feel for everything I am sure I will feel better. I am more concerned about my guests really than myself lol, so I am having faith everything goes well. Thank you for all of that, it did help!! I am glad you ladies had a great experience!! Yes, I cant wait to leave, I am itching to get into the sun and have some drinks:) We leave Saturday morning, bright and early, so we will see you Sunday and the rest of the week!!! I am hoping I dont forget anything lol!!

Hi Chase, I am a little nervous!! Myself and all of our guests are staying on the cove side because we have a couple children coming, and we definitly drink and I was looking forward to the swim up bar. Is this really closed as you said in your review??? (The Cove side swim up bar is closed along with the brick pizza oven) I emailed Cristina my wedding coordinator, but the more I hear about this resort, the more nervous I am getting!!!! Thanks & if you have any comments/feedback about the Cove side that would be great to hear:)

I will be waiting at the pool with a drink already in hand lol Wow!! You are bringing lots of stuff. I am bringing all of my clothes & stuff in one suitcase. Then for all of my stuff for welcome bags are going in my carry on, then carrying my dress on also! You should have people help you bring stuff! My parents are helping bring like half of the stuff, so that way Xavier and I can still have 1 bag each to check and then our carry ons and hopefully be good to go!! I want to start packing now lol!

SO GLAD TO HEAR!!!!! Happy planning!! I look forward to seeing you down there:) We are leaving in 9 days, and my mind is running crazy thinking of everything!!!

I feel awful no one has reached out to you and I would be getting a little nervous!! But you can definitly plan something in a week. I would just have everything ready! If you want a welcome dinner/cocktail hour & day/time, if you want music during the ceremony/reception, menu selections, which I can send you if you would like?!?! Flower details and just stuff liek that, if you have it ready you can tell them everything and be good to go!! We will arrive at the resort on May 19th and be there through the 28th, so we will be there! I am sure I will be at the Cove Pool Bar hanging out in the sun:) Cristina has been going in and out with her responsiveness as well, but I would reach out to her since its coming down to the wire! I am not too worried about the dress, I am going to carry it on, and let it air out in the room for any wrinkles, and I may be getting a portable steamer as well if you need it:) Let me know when she reaches out to you, I have just been laying out in the sun on the weekends, I live in Texas and its in the 90's so just soaking up the sun here before I head off to Mexico! I am more than happy to help, so if you need me to send you anything let me know!

Thank you!! Yeah I am a littler nervous to send my very expensive not mention wedding dress sent off and not be onsite at the resort, it makes me VERY nervous and I know my mom would not want something to happen either. I would rather just by a travel steamer and bring it, I have been doing some research on which one to buy. I am hoping the planes will let it hang, I have the garment bag from the Bridal Salon and I will be there a week prior, so I can let it hang itself out too!! I hope it all works out:)

Hey!! I am getting a little nervous/stressed/anxious!!! I feel awful no one has contacted you!!! I am working with Cristina, and I wrote her a VERY long email because I didnt hear from her for like 10 days and wasnt getting a response, but you SHOULD be hearing from someone especially because we are SO close. I leave in 11 days for Mexico, so Crazy to think about!! I really hope the weather is great, and everything works out!! I am not sure what wedding package you got, and if you did the group contract, but just be ware, that they will charge you for every little thing that isnt included, be sure to ask how much if you want things, so I am really trying to pick and choose what is most important. I posted my song list under the "post your entire playlist" thread on here, if you need any help, or questions let me know!!! I am mostly planned just have some minor details to get squared away!!! Here is Cristina's email, you could try to reach out to her and express your concern: [email protected] I think its her and Edith who are the two WC's. But it wouldnt hurt to get everything moving this close!! I cant wait to get down there to hang out and relax too, I am in need of a vacation as well!!

A General Questions for all of the previous brides, for your dresses, did you have the resort steam or press it prior to the wedding?!?! My dress will be pressed and steamed prior to going on the plane, I just figured in transit and carrying on, then the travel to the resort, there is a possibility it will get wrinkled, so I wanted to see what you ladies did for your dresses:) Thanks!!

HI Chase!! So glad the weather was great and everything went smooth!! Hope you are enjoying the vacation as well:) Cant wait to hear your feedback, especially what you wish you knew!! Enjoy yourself in Mexico!!!

J_Me, I am glad it was overall a good week and great wedding even though you did have some hiccups!! We look forward to your feedback and tips for us future brides and congrats again!!! Cant wait to see some pics:)

Have so much fun Ladies!!!!! I hope everything is perfect!!

Has anyone had or is going to have a Soloist at the actual ceremony?!?! If so what instrument, thoughts?!?! I didnt want to just do a CD, but am torn on which one to pick!!

Hi Vanessa, We are having the Mariachi Band at and during our dinner. We are having an outdoor dinner after the ceremony with Mariachi's then we are going inside (due to the noise ordances) to a ballroom area with a DJ to have the dance portion with cake(so the cake doesnt melt) indoors until midnight. Not sure if that helps, but just an idea!

If you do it as a private event as a cocktail hour, the bar, tables, cocktail menu & basic linens, should be included all in that private event. You can confirm with the wedding coordinator, but we are doing a private dinner and private cocktail hour, and menu & bar are both included.

For our group contract we set up a room block, then they created a web link for our guests to go and book. Any guest that books through that link, we get the credits for it. You can get a report from Yesenia, or your Miami contact with a report of who has booked. If they book through a travel agent, you have to add them to your guest list, but their room nights do not count towards the credit system unfortunatley. You can always RE-activate the link, our link is still working and its technically past the book date that Palace allowed us. They just release all of the rooms in your room block to the general public, so for your guests its first come, first serve, BUT they should be able to still book through that link! I would definitly ask what they can do about it, possibly give you half credit for the ones who didnt book through the link? I have gotten what I have asked for, because I preach that I am bringing them guaranteed business and money to their resort by having my wedding there.

So good to hear!! She is doing great so far, even though its only been a few days, the process is moving which is what I wanted!!

I really hope it is amazing, and would love if you can tell us how your experience was when you get back!! Wish you the best of luck, and hope its fabulous for you and family/friends!!! I am sure everything will turn our perfect!

Chase-- I love the reusable water bottle idea!! Where did you get them at?!?!
