I found the resort somewhere....looked at Trip advisor, found hardly any negative comments (RARE) and for some reason I just got a feeling that it was right......I don't know. It may change as I get more info but for right now I'm REALLY excited!
OMG - I think we're marrying the same man. He felt that way (the Spring Break thing) about Mexico, and very strongly about Puerto Vallarta in particular. I was like "fine, then YOU find a location." The more he read and the more I learned on this forum and shared with him, the better he felt.

Thanks!
I looked at the links that you posted :) And also got info from Tammy....looked at pictures etc....didn't see alot of pictures of weddings...but I figure, hell, I'm at the beach, how sucky can it be! Hahaha!!! Do you want me to send you the price packages?? Do you have them?? Not for accomodations etc (I found basic ideas for those on the website) but for the wedding packages...

Well, Gran Bahia and Grand Palladium actually got back to me quickly, so that is good! As someone else mentioned, it's good to know that if you choose one of htose, they'll be responsive. Dreams and Riu, I've heard nothing from, and I emailed Dreams 2 weeks ago, and Riu 1 week ago! So, that is making me prefer Gran Bahia and Grand Palladium more anyway.

 

Tammy, I want your Grand Palladium info too! Please send it to me.

 

And I will post what I got from Gran Bahia and Grand Palladium in those threads.

 

BUT, both of those hotels saidthat they do not deal with room rates, you have to go through a tour operator... So, I am waiting for estimates on room rates. I think I'm getting close though!!!!

I found a website that gave general prices....I don't know how accurate they are but it gave me a good idea for Grand Palladium....I also went on a website and did the "book online"....putting in dates and people, then they gave me the rate and I got out of there! Hahahah!!!! It looks like a standard room, for 2 people, for 4 nights was $1056 (when I fake booked!)... that other website is Colonial Palladium: Kantenah Palladium all inclusive resort, Quintana Roo, Mexico

Ah, I think my dates (after christmas) might be just late enough that all the sites I go to to try to get an idea, say that they can't go that far in the future! I need to look at those specific dates though because Tammy told me that they are much more expensive than other times of the year. I need to figure out how much so to see if I can still have it the week between christmas and new year like I really want to!!

 

But that site is good, and I am impressed by how quickly they got back to me since Dreams and Riu have just completely ignored me!!

I'm thinking Iberostar or Grand Palladium (as much as I love the riu Palace I think it will be too costly for our guests.... sad.gif
Did you make a pro/con listhuh.gif What are you struggling withhuh.gif How can we help? I'm pretty set on Grand Palladium, though I have no idea why....I think its the outdoor Mayan shower....hahahaha!!!!! I felt like I was never gonna make a decision either, so I just stopped looking for now! Maybe a good idea, maybe bad!

I can totally relate to what you guys are going through. We have one resort that we really like, but it is one of the most expensive resorts in Punta Cana and it is going though a management change at this time so there are a lot of controversial posts on Trip Advisor. It alss doesn't help that some people on there have close ties to the old management so I do not know what to believe... AHHH! This stress!!

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
