Hi Red,

Thanks for the info, I was actually just asking my travel agent yesterday if we could rent the Palace Gazebo. Now that you've answered my question. I'm very sad to hear that, I already had it all visualized. Oh well on to plan B, I guess it will have to be the beach! Do you happen to know if there is an option to have the ceremony in a garden perhaps? I did see the note about having to have 80% of your guests at the same hotel, I just assumed they meant other resorts (exp Dreams) & their sister resort would be fine. You would think they would make an exception if everyone is staying at the Riu, kind of silly in my opinion.

Riu isnt big on exceptions, basically your options are the beach, the beach and the beach....lol. Took me a while to get used to the idea, as I really didnt want to get married on the beach, Ive come to terms with it. They have an engish garden where they do private receptions, they may let you do it there, the beach is much nicer.

Even though the Palace and the Santa Fe are the sister resorts, management doesnt view it that way.

Ive been to the Santa Fe twice, if you have a younger crowd, its where you want to be
