Then thanks to Amy's review and Tammy's suggestion, we looked at the Mayan Palace. Wow, that just knocked our socks off. We had a list of other hotels and we didn't even go further. It is three hotels connected and they are amazing. When you walk into the hotel they have huge mayan statues (in one they are like 20 feet) tall in a dark room and it just feels really ancient. The amount of land they have is just massive. I worked with the event planner Matilde, who was very nice and helped us plan our welcome dinner and brunch all in the same day. Our welcome dinner is on these platforms that overlooks a wave pool and is in the center of the other pools with a fire in the middle of the platform. The brunch will be champagne on the beach with lawn chairs. However, we are still waiting to hear back on room availability for our dates.... I really hope it works!!!!
Then we went to Las Caletas to the Rhythm of the Night show. First of all the show is completely seperate from the weddings and you really will never know they are there. Second, Nicole is absolutely amazing and I am so excited to work with her. She is very laid back, yet on top of everything it is a perfect combination. Pictures do not do the beach justice. Standing on the beach, with the candles all over, the bon fire going, and the dance floor set up, the feeling that comes over you is just overwhelming. We also got to meet Brad, the minister who is really friendly and experienced. We were joking afterword that if we would have interviewed dozens of wedding coordinators and minister, we probably wouldn't have found ones this good.
So hopefully here is a summary of our setup:
Site: Las Caletas
Hotel: Mayan Resorts
Guests: 150
