MrsShoreytobe, did you end up choosing Sandos Playacar for your wedding? I am getting married there on October 5, 2013 and I haven't decided yet where to have the reception. We're going to do the private reception, but I'm not clear on the dancing options. Lupita told me it's $800-$1500 to put out a dancefloor (?!?!). Sooo the question is whether we can have dancing on the beach or palapa without putting out an extra dancefloor, whatever that means. It also looks like a lot of people rent out the disco until 11pm, but it seems like that would require everyone to finish their dinner and migrate to the disco - I'm not sure I would like that situation because it would mean no dancing during dinner, no mingling at the dinner tables between the bouquet toss and cake-cutting, etc. I'd love to hear your thoughts and what you guys have decided to do!
