Thanks!

Waybuloo,

 

A Golden Club upgrade will get you seperate checkin at the Golden Club lobby, Junior Suites in Akumal, one extra a la carte reservation (total 4 per week), robes/slippers/beach towels and additional toiletries in your room. Golden Club guests have free access to computers/internet in the Golden Lobby.

 

The Junior Suites in Akumal and Coba are larger than the rooms at Tulum. They have a seating area with 2 couches and a small table and 2 chairs. If you have children along, we found that the extra space (for sleeping and luggage and such) in the Junior Suites were wonderful. As far as quality of  decor and layout they are pretty much the same at all three of the resorts.

 

I hope this helps...if you need more details, let me know!!

Hi Everyone - just looking at the photo packages from Arrecife - and a lil confused.
It says all wedding packages include the bride getting ready, ceremony, and photo session at beach after the ceremony

then it goes into details about how many photos in each package

but it doesnt say anything about photos of the reception

do they not do this?

Thanks Christi for Paloma's email address and all the other information as well!

Sunshine - My understanding is that if you want Arrecife photographers to come to your dinner and/or reception, you would have to pay $200 for each additional event you want them to cover.  So I decided to just ask a friend to take a picture of us cutting the cake and our first dance.  There's not a lot of pictures to take at the reception anyway.  The important part to me is the photos and poses right after the ceremony on the beach.

Ya- I suppose this is true - maybe I'll consider having them there for the cake and thats it...we'll see
Thanks!

Has anyone booked Melissa Parry (MVP) for make-up and hair styling?!?

We CAN book outside vendors for hair and make-up, correct???

 

Thanks

They can take photos of the dinner or reception but it is an extra $350. It is listed under the WEG extra services. But as Cdlillad said, just get one of your guests to take photos at the dinner. By that piont the party is on, and you really don't need the pro pics!
