Valentin Imperial Maya Brides?

[hoyt75]

Hola! We're getting married at the VIM this Saturday, and I hope that all is going well with you.

 

Heidilynn - Contact with the VIM is very sparse and downright terrible at some points. In the months prior our our wedding contact with the wc was virtually nonexistant. BUT now once we got within a month of our wedding that all changed. She is now very easy to email and get a hold of whenever I need to, and she's been very nice and helpful. I'm sure it will get even better once we arrive.

 

I also found the lack of communicaiton in those months very frustrating; however, I think we all need to remember that these people are very busy with more current events. It really makes sense becuase their's so much that can be done in the month before your wedding and even more can be done once you get there.

 

If you need any information about this resort don't hesitate to ask. I have all the menu options, spa services w/ prices, bouquet pictures, wedding/reception setup pics, and so much more that she has sent me in the past month.

 

I will be posting my review when we get back. We leave on April 1st!!! YAY!!!

My FI and I are getting married in May 2011, cant decide between the Valentin and two other resorts. We love everything about the VIM except the beach looks alittle ruff and finding pics of the reception sites has been difficult. For any gals that have been to VIM did the beach dissapoint? And does anyone have any reception pics to share?

I was at the Valentin last June, and I thought the beach was really lovely. There's a swimming side, and a non-swimming side. The swimming side is rock-free. I believe they do the beach ceremonies in the non-swimming side, where there are rocks and coral. I haven't been to any other beaches in the Riviera Maya, so I really can't compare.

 

Graciela posted her pictures a while ago on this thread. Here is her link (hopefully she won't mind if I re-post)-there are some great pictures of the Mexican Terrace as a reception area.

Hi ladies,

 

We got married here last Saturday and it was magnificient! I'll be writing my review sometime this week.

 

If you're on the fence about getting married here, don't be! It really is the most beautiful resort in the maya.

 

Missy - the water is a little rough, but it's because the VIM doesn't put sand bags out. If you want smooth water then you'll probably be at a resort w/ big ugly sand bags to block the waves.

 

I'll let y'all know when I post my review and I'll make sure that it has tons of pics. I know you're all nervous about this place, but we had a fantastic time and everything went very very well. If you can't be pleased at this resort then you're just impossible.

Thanks and congrats hoyt! cant wait to read your review
