So, I am trying to find out if the docking station will take also an iphone or if it has to be an ipod. We are getting quite excited and can't wait to hit the sun and beach. Any new developments with you?

Hey dbarnes, I am getting the mint breeze package, but Victoria informed me that their audio system is only compatible with an ipod (or cd's), but specifically said the iphone would not work. Sorry to break the news.

Hi ladies,

 

I was wondering if any of you have seen photos of the different menu options for the reception dinner? My fiance and I are having a hard time choosing the different options just based upon the titles of the food. Since they don't give a really good description I have a hard time invisioning what the presentation of the food will look like. Would love to see photos.

 

Thanks for the help!

Does anyone have a price list for the SPA? Please let me know where I can find it if anyone has sent it anywhere. Thanks a bunch!

Hi t&k.

I found this link. I have a feeling the services and rates are a bit out of date. But this might be a good starting point for you. Hope it works.

Cheers,
Spa | UNOFFICIAL BARCELO MAYA

We're doing a package offered by Air Transat and I just received the menu. It's not as vast as the Strawberry Passion package but it's still hard to decide. We don't have the Surf and Turf as an option. Too bad, that's what I was looking forward too.
I think we're pretty much set until we get there. I hear that's where you choose your menu, flowers, cake, etc. Where are you getting married and having your reception?
We're bringing an ipod too for music and have 23 guests.

Hey t&kJan2010
Did you find out about this yet? I was wondering the same thing. I would rather bring travelers chqs vs a creditcard or cash. If the travelers chqs get stollen or something then you can cancel them. I guess I will just email Xhail (WC) to find out.
Your wedding is so soon!!!!!

Cheers!

Does anybody know what color bows are included in the package? Is there a bright blue?

Xhail told me there is chair covers (white) & a selection of free sashes(Cream, royal blue, red, white, & coral for free) or other colors for $5 a sash just to rent.

When you were at the Barcelo, did you think the weddings on the beach were private? Or were the lounge chairs with people on them too close and ruined the intimacy of the wedding?

Hi How much does the DJ cost and how long does he play for?

Thanks:)
