Marriott vs Mayan Palace places to stay???


Recommended Posts

I am trying to figure out still where my guests are going to stay. Has anyone stayed at the Mayan Palace PV or the Marriott Casamagnahuh.gif I am getting married at the Mayan...but I didn't check out the rooms when I was there. I was so focused on the wedding ceremony.

 

I would appreciate any reviews...I am debating between the two hotels...the prices are really similar. The Marriott is a little cheaper.

 

Thanks,

Amy, I stayed once in Marriot Casamagna and its a beautiful hotel, with excellent service, its very close to the Mayan and I think with much better to offer than Mayan and others in the Marina.

 

My WC told me the that from the Marina hotels he recommends first the Westin and then the Marriot been followed by the rest of them.....

Thank you Edna...I am just debating if we should pay more to stay at the Mayan because we are getting married there.

 

Also...if I go with the Mayan...my guests will have to pay the hotel directly...I am worried about the costs they will be charged on their credit card to change dollars to pesos.

 

Have you noticed any costs to your credit card when you used it in Mexicohuh.gif

My guests and I will be staying at the Marriott... it's beautiful and in a perfect location (near the marina - our wedding will be at Las Caletas).

 

However... I'm having a really hard time getting the Marriott to communicate with me regularly. Every time I turn around, they have passed my account to someone new. First I emailed Patricia Haro, then I talked on the phone once and emailed once with Marcela Tellez. Next they had me on the phones with someone in the U.S. - Debi Cannon (and a couple times with someone in Debi's office). She passed my account to Valeria. Now it's Rosario. We don't even have a contract yet and I'm on my fifth contact person. It's a bit frustrating. I'm not a crazy, high maintenance bridezilla. I just want a block of rooms, and a hospitality suite the night before the wedding with a cash bar and a veggie tray. For goodness sake... this shouldn't be that difficult.

 

If I don't have a contract soon I am going to have to look elsewhere... I'll keep you posted about how it goes.

I plan on getting married at the Mayan and staying at the Westin. If your guests don't consume a lot of beverages (mine probably won't) then a non-AI could work. Since I've told my guests about the switch from an AI to a non-AI I've been pleasantly surprised by many of their reactions - they love that they won't be "held down" at the hotel and can get out to explore more restaurant wise.

 

Sorry I got off your subject a little bit cheesy.gif

If it's strictly between the Mayan and Marriott I would stay at the Marriott because I've read not so good reviews about the rooms at the Mayan on Trip Advisor.

 

Hope this helps! :)

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
