Hello! my fiance and I are looking to book our wedding for December 28, 2013 at the Riu Palace Tropical Bay. We spent this past Christmas there and loved it! So peaceful and with such a beautiful beach. Reading these forums has been so helpful but I'm curious about how you presented the options to your guests. If you have gotten married here (or any where else really - I suppose this applies universally to destination weddings), did you have your guests handle their own hotel bookings? I ask because the Riu Website quotes the rooms as almost double the price of the rooms on travel websites (i.e. Priceline, Apple Vacations, etc). I'm just wondering if, in your invitation, you make some recommendations? I want to make it as easy and inexpensive as possible for those who are able to afford to come and celebrate with us. Thanks!
