Has anyone tried to release sky lanterns at OCT?

I know it was previously not allowed, but it's become more popular in Cancun in the last few years, and I wonder if anyone's tried it recently.  I really really really want to give these to our guests to release!

Still can't figure out how to attach anything...

Do you mean the Ocean Coral & Turquesa at Puerto Morelos?  <Sorry - new to this thread and not entirely sure I'm at the right place....>  
 
It IS very difficult to get in touch with them.  It usually takes more than a week for an email reply, and the wedding coordinators are constantly quitting (they've gone through 4 since I started this journey in November).
 
I have no idea about blackout dates, but we booked through a travel agent (Liz Moore Destination Weddings, agent Keeley Dahl), and she was able to get all 35 of us in for a week at the end of June for $165/room/night.  2 people/room ($85/person/night), all inclusive.  June is low season, I believe.
 
Not too sure about the resort's minimums, but our travel agent required a 10 room minimum, each for at least 4 days in order to get the group rate.  OCT is now near-sold out for June, I believe, so booking through an agent was probably the right choice for us.
 
OCT has its own florists/DJs/photographers whom they have some sort of relationship with.  If you want to use vendors OTHER than the ones they provide, there is a fee.  Not sure how much exactly, but I think it's quite a lot.
 
For locations, I understand they've got beach, lobby terrace, and rooftop terrace available for the ceremony and/or reception.
 
They have a menu with several options you can choose from (everyone will be served the same things, so you much choose for all your guests).
 
Does anyone know if there is a way to upload files to this?  OCT sent me a range of materials that I can post here in case it helps anyone.  I'll see if I can figure it out.

OK, I can't at all see how to add content to "My Library".  Anyone know how to do this?

OCT sent me the 2015 packages info and pricing; the menu; the flowers catalogue; the photos catalogue; and the cake catalogue.  Happy to post them if I can figure out how 

Anyway, hi, I'm Danielle.  My H2B and I are getting married at OCT in Puerto Morelos, Mexico on June 26th this year.  We're doing the Paradise Package.  Naturally I'm terrified.  The WC is super difficult to get in touch with and it seems every month or two there is a new person doing the job.  Huge leap of faith at this point.  Hope all goes well.

I believe the wedding coordinator (for now) is Cecilia, but I've also heard of a Claudia.  #freakingout

Good luck, brides!  Good luck to all of us
