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

[Lady_Di]

Thanks, Jennifer! So far I have to say that my WC Julie is doing great as she can with all of work she has so I have no problems.

 

Just a suggestion, whoever is thinking about getting hair done at the salon should book in advance. I booked hair appts for myself and 3 people on the day of the wedding. The royal easily sells out (ex. No available locations for the rehearsal dinner)

I finally got my wedding contract through e-mail today. Suzanna said they never mail anything they only email or fax. Not sure why she told me last week she was going to mail it out though? Well the wedding contract had our address, FI last name and wedding date wrong! So now that is supposed to be updated and waiting for another one now. Also, I told her legal before and now we are only doing symbolic so that has to be changed.

 

I haven't received flower or cake options like I thought I was going to....

 

And it is still driving me nuts that Real doesn't have prices out for Jan 2011 yet!!

Thank you so much Jennifer for the info. That does make me feel better! I really do understand that this has to be very tough dealing with so many weddings.

This is actually a good thing; get your stuff signed while the prices still reflect 2010 and they will lock you in on the lower rate- that's what I did :-)

For the wedding packages I will be getting all 2011 prices! If I could have locked in for 2010 prices I wouldve!

By rates I meant to room prices aren't out so we can not book still! I would have thought they wouldve been out by now...now the wedding is a little less than 11 months.

Ohhh gotcha! Yeah, I'm in the same boat because I am getting married 2 weeks before you on the 1st. Let me know if you notice an update and I will do the same ;-)

Does anyone know the payment options for the final payment when its due...my visa limit is definitly not luxury wedding size. haha. Can we do a wire transfer of funds etc?

Haven't heard back from the WC's in the US in over a week.

 

Thanks,

 

Jen

I finally read through most of the thread!! hehe

 

I just signed the contract for my 10-30-10 wedding at the Royal. I'm sorry to hear about all the difficulties everyone is having. My WC, Doreen has been great answering questions on the phone but is not too great over email. But it definitely seems super hectic over there.

 

I went for a site visit a couple weekends ago, and the resort is amazing. We didn't get to stay there unfortunately, but we did have access to the Gran Porto, which is very nice too.

 

Since I booked with the "new" pricing, the vendor fee was $350, so I am using the Royal's photographer. Luckily they use Dorremix for the DJ!

 

I have a question about getting a group rate...They told me I need to put down a deposit for the 1st night of each room. That seems a little crazy to me. I tried getting a TA to help me with this but he said he can't get in touch with them. Does anyone have a block of rooms there without a deposit??

Hi Ladies!! So I still haven't recieved my updated wedding contract...although, I did get my dress today!! So that was finally a positive non stressful part of wedding planning! I'm so excited...heres a link...i ordered it in a pool color...

 

David's Bridal - Satin ball gown with cuff neckline, lace-up back, and pick up skirt.

 

I hope it isn't too much for a beach wedding!
