Wedges were pretty easy to walk in, I actually wore them all night. The dance floor is covered in a thick twine/burlap so it is not very comfortable to dance barefoot on (sober that is). Here is what I did to work for my rates. I went on the website, saw what rates were going for and then I emailed a bunch of resorts to see what rates they would give me for booking 20 rooms. After the initial email, I saw what specials, if any they were running, and asked if they could match (if a good deal) or beat the prices listed. A few were staunch and would not budge but the resort we chose significantly beat the published rates. We also locked in a free room for every 10 rooms booked. We ended up booking 40 rooms and got 4 free rooms this way. A heads up though, you will have to sign a contract and you will need to front a deposit/money. This made it a bit stressful since we essentially were responsible for 40k of hotel rooms.

Hi Lmah- We just had our wedding there and we had 85 guests (5 were kiddos). You are correct, the reception is a long corridor. They had speakers for the toasts and they gave an announcement for the toasts so some people stepped closer to hear. There are two tables that are far/off to the side. They were pretty far so we made a special point to go sit with those tables for about 20 minutes. It was definitely not too dark. They have spot lights out on the sand to light up the dance floor, plus the bonfire and all the candles and lighting up in the reception area.

We looked at all types of island type settings. Las Caletas was the best bang for your buck and it was really easy to plan from afar. Our guests are still gushing about the boat ride, the arrival at the island and everything they experienced there. I was super happy with Dennise and Blanca and felt super at ease. I didn't bridezilla out once and I am an event coordinator so I thought for sure I would have difficulties relinquishing control.

In case people are wondering...Yes, you can go up to the Bridal Casita to change into a second dress. I did since my dress was a little too long to dance comfortably in all night. Dennise just took me up there when I told her I was ready to change. I also am a nursing mother and pumped up there as well so if you have any guests that need to pump or nurse in private, it is available for that. I will do a review later when I get back!

I just got done with my wedding at Las Caletas this Saturday. Def. go with the DJ. He played awesome music and it he read the crowd great and changed songs accordingly. Otherwise you are going to be having to have someone worry about the songs or fussing with the Ipod. The DJ also played on the boat ride back and we danced the whole time. I would def bring music for the boat ride, it helped keep the party going and also folks that were sea sick or queasy said they felt better dancing rather than sitting. He played zero traditional songs and a lot of cool mashups that were fun to dance too. We did give him a playlist but told him he had free reign pretty much. The DJ came and met me at the Casita so we could chat briefly about the music and our first dance. It was a mix of current songs, a few awesome throwbacks, and 1-2 songs for the older folks like ACDC, Shout. All in all so happy we had the DJ.

Hey HappyBride13- We booked over a year and half ago! My fiance and I have been together for awhile and always said we would get married on President's Day Weekend 2013. We booked early so we could make sure friends and family could save for the trip. We aren't doing a honeymoon after our wedding. We are going for a full week for the wedding and we have a 2.5 year old and our lil man will be 6 months when we get married and it was too much to ask family to watch/travel back home with our kiddos after a week of partying!

In case anyone else has the same question, here is the reply from Dennise about going over 80+guests: The capacity of the beach is for 120 pax… the boat can have 180 people, but the 180 cannot fit on the beach. The cost per person after 80 is $75 usd.. so the first 80 guests are paying $50 usd and from the 81 to the 120 they will pay $75 per head.
