The new Dreams Tulum thread! (Post all DT Qs&As here)

[jennyjean7]

Hi everyone! It's coming down the last few weeks and I had a quick question regarding the size of tulle that everyone ordered for the beach gazebo?

 

I'm on the website that ya'll referred: Tulle Fabric , but don't know what size to order...do I get the large ones, 54"x40yard or 2 of the 60"x10yard? Will this be enough?

 

Thank you :-)

Does anyone know if DT will supply a pinata? And if so how much it costs?? Thanks a bunch )

Seriously some of you should get a paycheck for this, even after your wedding is over you continue to help other brides in needs. THANK YOU for all you advice and information. Questions... 1. Can you exchange for anything if you are not using there photo or video? 2. Do you know where the best place to meet for a group of about 20 for a dinner rehearsal/meet and greet? 3. How did a lot of you carry your extra decorations and favors from your homes to the resort?

1) Officially know, but they have been known to be flexible. I wouldn't say they will exchange for anything, I think most people have been most successful at getting more photography or video, but I don't know about exchanging it for something completely different. I would say don't count on it, but if you are successful consider it a bonus.

2) Depends how much you want to pay. If the answer is nothing, then your only choice is the buffet. If you don't mind paying a 20$ per person service charge (for regular menu) or 55 or 65 pp (silver or gold menu) you could have a dinner at any of the restaurants (since your group is only 20).

3) You get your guest to bring some and/or just pay extra. Don't ship stuff in advance. It's a pain and expensive and people have had trouble with getting stuff through customs.

Welcome! I do sometimes think I should try to get a job with Dreams. I'm sure I've helped them get a TON of business with this thread

Nobody has ever asked that before, you'd have to ask them. But if you want to make the trip you can probably save a ton of money by picking one up yourself in Playa Del Carmen, maybe at Wal-Mart.

I love it and really want to do that....let me know if any of you know the answer to this question... I feel like I am getting behind in planning and need to pick up the pace a little.

 

Thanks!!!

FYI LADIES!!!!

So I just got a call from one of my best friends that the resort is totally booked!!! I just called my mother in law who is a travel agent and she confirmed this. I am shocked because I never thought it would fill up like this in the 1st week of May.

Any suggestions

You should send her a PM, I'm sure she'll reply. Most people get emailed notices when they get PMs so even if she's not on here she'll likely see it.

Has your group booked? I assume most have but there were a few holding out for last minute sales?

I guess guests will have to stay elsewhere. Tulum has a lot of hotels, but no all-inclusive resorts. The 2 all inclusives that I can think of that are pretty close are Dreams Puerto Aventuras (very close if I can remember correctly) and there is the Bahia Principe Tulum/Akumal/Coba which is I think like 10-15 minutes away and fairly popular and the same price range. Your guests would need day passes for the wedding and any other events (welcome dinner, etc) though

It's probaby not the whole week that is booked, but just a few days (the weekend). Maybe they could stay at Dreams Tulum for a few days and then go to another resort for a few days. That way they are still with your group for part of the vacation.
