I'm not sure what Ana is referring to as the "pool terrace." I wonder if by 'pool deck' she means the Gazebo area and 'pool terrace' indicates the wooden deck area between the infinity pool and the beach. Any other thoughts?

My understanding is that the pool deck is the wooden deck between the infinity pool and the beach. The pool terrace is a concrete patio area up by the pools somewhere... though I'm not exactly sure where.

I know that the pool deck is definitely the wooden deck between the infinity pool and the beach. That is all I know for sure

The pool deck is the wooden deck betweeen the infinity pool and the beach and the pool terrace is the concrete patio around the pool. I've seen pictures of both set ups on here, not sure which pages though.

Great job finding those pics roxmysockz!! I can never remember what pages things were posted on.

After Ana said I was left with the options of beach or pool terrace I searched for ages to find those pics, hopefully they'll help someone else! x

I'm not sure exactly how the coupons work, but it has been discussed on this thread before.... it's broken down so it's like $20 for wine, $40 for the spa, $40 towards a private dinner, etc. Usually the credit can only be applied if you've maid a certain minimum purchase, so it's not like you are getting something totally free, but discounted.

That's awesome!! I was hoping to use coupons for the spa. I'm planning on getting manis/pedis and maybe massages for my bms the day of the wedding. It's a perfect gift and it keeps us occupied so I won't run into my fiance before the ceremony. Still waiting on getting prices from the spa.

Is it a mariachi band? Did anyone pick the ultimate package? is it worth the extra expense?

I'm doing the Love package mostly because of cost. We're using an outside photographer/videographer and the menu upgrade wasn't really a big deal for us so we went with the cheaper package.

I've seen pictures of the mexican trio and it's a mariachi band. It looks pretty cool! I think a lot of brides are using them at the cocktail hour.
