ROYAL PLAYA DEL CARMEN BRIDES: were kids allowed for the day? ...and other questions

rosieposie · July 13, 2010

i just got an email from Flora saying she's now an onsite coordinator and i now have Ana to help me until i get to the onsite part.

anyone have the same person or any experience with her? i've been waiting to confirm the change from semi-private to private reception.

I just came across this

Nightlife in Playa del Carmen,Clubs in Playa del Carmen,Bars Playa del Carmen|Mexico

I know some of you have mentioned Blue Parrott, but are you familiar with any of these other bars? I'm looking for somewhere crazy and then somewhere chill to hang with the girls on our first night.

Oh and random question...

For those of you using catamaran cruises like catamaya, do they give you all free T-shirts? I recall seeing group pic where everyone wheres the same T-shirt (and I'm a sucker for a free T-shirt lol)

hi lisa, we've been to alux and coco bongo (both playa's and cancun's).

alux was interesting since it's in a cave underground and all, could be better ventilated but it's a cave after all...drinks and music were good but didn't go early enough for dinner, heard food is so-so and didn't notice anyone dancing as they're more of a restaurant & lounge. It's a short (under $10) cab ride from the resort.

coco bongo in playa is next to the blue parrot. was quite fun, didn't have fire dancers or anything like that. Still had a fun atmosphere, but noticed that blue parrot attracted more people.

went to a foam party at the coco bongo in cancun, was so much fun! BUT noticed the foam left a weird smell afterwards but went away after a shower.

heard deseo is quite nice, on the rooftop of the deseo hotel right on 5th ave. but we didn't have time to go.

Hi Lisa,

I have been to Deseo many times and it is part of my bach party * :: HOTEL DESEO ::

I just love it there. It is a very relaxed atmosphere but it is a very trendy place. Because of that you are going to pay $10 for a very small mojito.

Alux is very cool and I had the food there, it was ok

Cogo Bongo is awesome but I love to dance as do all my girl friends so this is usually where I end up at the end of the night

I also love this place right on 5th called Tequila Bar Tequila Barrel Sports Bar and Grill in Playa del Carmen Mexico

Its a sports bar feel but its fun to just grab guacamole and chips and hang out

Hi ladies I havn't been on here in over a week and LOVE catching up on all the stuff I missed! My new WC is Katia and she has been very helpful, I think she just needed a few weeks to get settled in. Zulma will be my onsite coordinator a month before hand. Katia said that they want all emails/correspondence to go through the new website instead of emailing directly. Just an FYI.

I hired Vincent from Del Sol for wedding photograpahy and I'm sooo excited about it! I also tried on wedding dresses for the first time over the weekend and it went better than expected (I was dreading the process). So many choices and some were jsut too heavy for a Mexico wedding.

Ah Cacao Real Chocolate - Welcome

omg yes the chocolate croissants were amazing there to! and yes the food at tequila barrel is so good and cheap

Lisa - I forgot also at La Tortuga Hotel and Spa they have an awesome bar area that is fun place to just have a few drinks with the girls before going out

Amazing guac at Tequila Barrell and they always have two for one margaritas

Lounge area at La Tortuga

Restaurant next to the bar at La Tortuga called El Bistro amazing food and you can't beat the price

Msglave - I forgot see those hanging wooden lanterns, well they have tons of those all over 5th avenue. If you took off the dangly things they could be a really cool centerpiece with a candle in the middle. They may a;ready have them like that for the table.
