  1. I have included one photo for the ceremony, sorry don't have any good one's of the palapa. We went with the most expensive package (can't remember the name) We flew over our photographer. There was the photographer from the resort but when we looked at the photos to choose (as part of our package) they were terrible and looked like anyone of the guests could have taken it. From comments on the forum we didn't even ask not to have the hotel photographer not come and I did not even recognize or notice them during the ceremony. Oh, and they were there only for the ceremony as that was the only pics we saw. The money we spent bringing our own photographer was well worth it as our pics were beautiful. I also looked into getting a outside photographer from Cancun burt with their price and the $400 fee it was cheaper bringing our own. The DJ was the same DJ at the disco. he was not that great but my husband did most of the DJ'ing as that is what he does. I had to ask several time from them to turn the volume down during dinner and the music was not very appropriate for dinner but once it was quiet I was happy. We had to be out of the Palapa around 10 or 10:30 (can't remember we had the Palapa starting at 5:30) and the golf carts drove us back to the hotel. The disco started at 11;00 where we could have danced more but we were too tired and instead had something to eat at the buffett and went to bed.
  2. I was married at GS on Nov 30. Like some of the concerns about the hotel from trip advisor I was worried about the place but I have no complaints about anything during the week we were there. Our rehersal dinner was in the brazilian restaurant and we had the whole place to ourselves for 2 1/2 hours - food was great I only have positive words about the wedding coordinators and how the day happened. We brought some items for the wedding (cake topper, guest book) and it was taken the day we met with the WC and set up perfectly. The WC was present the whole time during the day and the bar tenders ect were wonderful during the night. We had our ceremony on the private beach by the palapa and the reception on the Palapa. Some guests stayed around the Palapa after the ceremony and some went to the room or snack bar for a short time while we took pictures. My flowers were beautiful and hair / make-up was perfect. The spa is lovely, new and so relaxing. The hotel / food is not quite top 5 stars there is some wearing down of the place if you really look but I'm not very picky about the minor details. Our guests had no problems (we had 80 people) with any of the service or rooms. please feel free to message me if you have any questions - I found this forum very useful and would love to pass on the info
  3. Hello all My wedding to GS is in 55 days and I have a question about group tours. We would like to host a group tour to Tulum / Catamaran trip for the 55 people attending. Does anyone know what tour groups work there and the cost? Any information is appreciated
  4. I'm wondering if anyone has mailed a package to the resort before? I am thinking of mailing a package to the resort of my OOT items. the WC is happy to receive it but I'm hesitant in sending it by mail and having it arrive there. Any ideas how I can get my OOT items to the resort?
  5. I am so releived that I have found this thread. I am getting married at the GS in November and have spent hours reading all the fantastic advice from everyone. I would like to arrange a group activity that is outside the resort (snorkeling and cadamaran, off-road trip) and would like any advice about how I can arrange this. I know in all-inclusive hotels they offer extra activities for a cost but I'm looking at saving some money and know there are other vendors that offer this Thanks
