I was married at this resort in January. I can tell you that we did write our own ceremony and he basically said it word for word. There were a few sentences that were mandatory that he had to add, but I was fine with that.
Also, have you looked at getting the free wedding package. That way you dont have to pay anything for it, especially if its just you and .your fiance with no guests.

Me & H2B are eloping to get married, am looking forward to out little 'secret' wedding.
I have so far come across 2 cliches,which i wasn't informed of at the time of booking.
1) If we want to organise our own photographer,we will be charged US$800 by the hotel for the privilege.
&
2} I want to book Rashel Edwards for Hair & makeup,but the hotel now advises me that a US$75 day pass will be required for her.
Considering we are not making use of the full package we have paid for ie bottles of champagne for upto 25 guests,meal for upto 25 guests,i feel these charges are a bit of a cheek.
I have heard mixed reviews on the resort photographer,but just can't warrant paying extra$800 ontop of quite expensive photographers fees.
On a different note, have any of you ladies written/used your own wedding vows in the ceremony?If so.do they have to include any mandatory wording,or is the legal part left down to the minister.
Thanks
