I am new to this forum as well. We are booked for January 24, 2011 at the Azul Sensatori. Looking forward to learning tips from everyone. I constantly feel like I am behind in the wedding planning department! I think my next major step is finding a dress!

I'm also thinking of finding a STD template on here I like and just making them myself to save money. This being the third time we've ordered them, I don't want to spend a lot of money, you know?

We used Vistaprint to order Save the date magnets! Our family and friends loved them and they got put onto fridges...not lost in a pile of paper.

I knew there might be some minor construction, but it's sounding like they're doing a major revamp of all the rooms as well. So, I may have to move to the Sensatori...which sounds wonderful as well. I'm hoping that if that's the case, we get a HELLUVA deal on our rooms because of the situation. Silver linings!!!

The Sensatori is wonderful. My FI and I did a site inspection of 5 resorts in April and ended up going with Sensatori. The differences are: Beach-smaller and Mexican decor, Sensatori-440-ish rooms and more modern decor. Who knows I might see you there, we are booked for January 24, 2011. Good luck!

Welcome and congrats!! Yeah I've heard really good things about the Sensatori, too...I'm just bummed because it's bigger than Azul Beach, and I was really going for the more intimate "boutique" feel.

But whatever happens, I'm just happy to be getting married in Mexico! And if we do switch over to the Sensatori, I probably will see you...we're flying down there on the 27th of January

Ok that is beyond WICKED! Love the pic and I would say it definitely was a once in a lifetime type thing. Geez sometimes you don't even spot them on those excursions let alone actually get to get in the water with them!

Bonnie - What do you mean about the puking/nausea? Was it the smell of them?? Also, who did you do the excursion through? It looks like something my fiance would LOVE!

heehee..no, the whale sharks don't have B.O. it was the water that was very choppy and our boat was very small, so everyone was getting seasicked...after 60 mins in the sea...searching for whale sharks.
I got 2 gravols before the boat trip, and another one during...and I still puked myself inside out! The trip itself was great, just don't eat too much and be prepared!
