We're planning our wedding in Jamaica for Dec. 2014 and when we looked at options, Riu Palace Tropical Bay in Negril was definitely an option - it still is. We're actually going to be there Dec. of this year to venue shop but we wanted to narrow down our options to a few places so we can stay there while we're there in Dec. We want to experience what our guests will be experiencing if we have our wedding there. We so wanted Negril because of the beaches and the sunsets...but when we looked into it, we just weren't convinced that this is the place for us. We went on youtube and looked up wedding videos of others who got married there and we just didn't like anything we saw. We saw chairs that they used for their restaurants as the chairs that were covered up with the white covers and the bows but you can see bright green through it. The decor that they offered just looked really bad...anyhow, we figured we could customize and order our own chairs, flowers, etc. but then it would be additional costs for us. Vs. other venues, whatever came with the package still looked good. So yeah...if you have a different experience, we'd love to hear it but maybe the youtube videos may help...

Hi I know this is an older post but I tried looking at that link and it doesn't work...

Hi - I got the wedding packages and it says that there's a 7 night minimum requirement for me and my guests in order to take advantage of the packages. Does anyone know if they're sticklers about that? We love everything about the hotel and the packages but that one requirement is too much for our guests. We have about 50 people and the most that they're able to miss work would be 5 nights. 7 nights seems a little drastic, I've seen other hotels that only require 3 nights.

Does anyone know if they enforce that rule about the 7 night requirement for you and all your guests in order to take advantage of their packages? We have about 50 guests but there's no way they're going to stay pass 5 nights. Has anyone been able to get less than that to get the packaged price?
