With the suite it would be nice to have a little private space for sun tanning with the lounge chairs. You and your sweetie can sneak out there at night for a comfortable drink and a beautiful sunset. Hey I guess if you are going to spend 900 why not splurg for the 1300. Oh I don't know I can never make a decision

you just described my exact thought process!!!

We are thinking about having our reception dinner on the beach in front of the Seagrape. Has anyone seen the dinner set-up there, or just the beach area itself? I don't want to have people walking by while we are having dinner, we have about 25 or so guests coming so I would like it to be private. I don't know if I should just book the Plantation instead, which according to Chandlyn is still available.

Have you found any details about dinner on the beach in front of Seagrape? (cost, set-up, etc). I would love to be able to have my reception on the beach but hadn't seen any else mention it for ROR! I am just booking by wedding for Jan 2009 so I haven't contacted Chandyln yet. Any info you have would be great!

If you are just wanting a cocktail party, it is $10/person. I believe if you want the dinner on the beach too that it is $50/person. That price includes drinks, dinner, set-up, and staff.

Thanks so much for posting. I am assuming it is the same menu for the reception. It is just a la carte for guests?

The Mammee Bay is buffet for salad, soup and dessert always. Even for your reception. They serve you your main course. And your wedding cake . I don't know if you can choose more than one main course...you could always ask?
