Trivera5521, We visited the resort back in March. We had reservations at several of the a la cart restaurants; steak house, seafood, and Japanese. They were all decent but I would highly recommend the Japanese, the food was great and it is all prepared on the grill in front of you. Not sure how many guests you would be accommodating? The tables around the grill seat about 12 people but maybe they can put something together for you. The other option I thought was really nice was The Cava, It is located between the Seafood restaurant and the Steak house (visible through glass doors off of both restaurants) I think you could probably order from both menus because of where it is situated. It looked like it had its own private balcony, and it seats about 14 people and there is an additional cost of $35 per person. I'm considering this option myself or maybe the Jellyfish restaurant that a few people have mentioned. But I'm not sure what the cost would be for the Jellyfish or how long a drive it is from our resort? As for the beach ceremony; I did see one while I was there, I wasn't planning one myself so I didn't pay to much attention. If memory serves me it was located to the right of the pier (looking out at the ocean of course) in front of the small adults only pool (if that helps at all?). It was nice and didn't seem to have to many tourists around. Disazaja, Thank you for your review it was really great to hear about the hair and makeup, as well as the food. I wasn't thinking that far ahead when I was there and am really kicking myself now!
