I actually work as a travel agent and that's what I am. I prefer my clients deal directly with the resort co-ordinators, I feel that's the best way to ensure your wants and needs are communicated. Of course if a bride is ever having trouble I will step in and deal with the resort but I always tell my brides I handle the travel and am here for any extra help if needed but I feel a middle man between a resort wedding planner and yourself just adds more stress. I'm glad your dealing with the resort yourself now and can get things straightened out however I would file a complaint with that agent because that's certainly not good service for your big day! Hope it all falls into place The upgrade gaurantee could be to royal golden or diamond club. These are upgrades but separate from the Don Pablo. You have to be booked into the Don Pablo to get those Don Pablo upgrades. I was there in April it was $25.00 per person per day for upgrades from Regular Grand Bahia to Don Pablo section.

And does anyone know if the dancing and everything happens there as well? And is it outside or inside? Thanks everyone! Hi if you send me your email address I can send you some pics that i received of the piscis. It is a covered outdoor area right by the beach. They do decorate it with mini lights on the trees but you can add lanterns etc if you want to add some colour. It's a beautiful setting as I was there on vacation just this April. You will get beautiful sunset shots. It is quite informal, but the view to me is what made me choose it for my reception. Also it's private, away from most things. There is a bar there too. If your looking for more formal then I would suggest the Italian restaurant which is right next door. I have pics of that too. The Italian restaurant is indoors, they have a little section off to the side which they reserve for weddings etc. It's away from the main resort guests. If you don't want to pay for the Piscis, but still want that private feeling then this would be the way to go. The steakhouse is not private at all......i did not like that.....however I liked the food there. If you rent the Piscis, yu can choose your menu from any of the restaurants. Hope this helps. Barb

Hey, so excited......Just confirmed my reception at Piscis!!! Picked my dress and excited to be reading everyones comments and reviews.

FutureKeese22, You looked beautiful and radiant in your pics........Congratulations. I agree with LinzWarr that the reviews are great. It makes you more excited, seeing past brides finally do it. Can't wait for my big day.......11 months to go!!!! Already got the dress and shoes. lol

As far as Piscis is concerned........ do you have your dinner there to? I'm liking the idea of this location. I understand that you pay 1700.00 for this location and that it includes a DJ and open bar.. Do you only get the bar for 2 hrs though as per the romance extravaganza package? If anyone has any info on this it would be much appreciated.

I had the same issue with my original date. I had called them and spoke verbally on the phone they said they would confirm and i heard nothing. So i sent an email and they sent me an email with confirmation of my date. Now i have it as proof in case of double booking. I also sent another email weeks back and no response......i know they are busy.....but just a quick reply would be adequate and settle my concerns. I just want to relax and let them take care of everything.......and I will, once I get that email. I might cut and paste the email and resend, and hope that will work.

Have an amazing time.....take time to take it all in. Come back and tell us all the details. Congratulations to both you and your fiancé

All the best:) Have a wonderful time......soak it all up.

This is what I am thinking about. Don't really want the manicure/pedicure as I always do that before I leave for vacation. And now with shellac!!!! no worries:) I'm hoping they will reimburse me for that, so that I can put those savings towards the ceremony/flowers etc. Barb

Thanks for the info JayKay

Me too!!!!!
