We found a place!!!!!  We're going with Zoetry.  We just came back from our site visit a couple of weeks ago and had a great time!  We were deciding between the Fairmont and the Zoetry and for us, the Zoetry won out althought the Fairmont is amazing... just a little too pricey.  We saw six different resorts so I'll post later to let you know what I thought of all of them if there is any interest.  Hope you girls are making progress and find something soon:)

Hi Mon&Tad,

 

I'm also in the process of looking for a site for a 2011 (summer-ish) and have emailed a handful of places in Cancun but haven't heard back (it's been at least 5 days)! Would love to hear your thoughts on the different resorts you've visited.

 

thanks!

I actually didn't visit any resorts Cancun -- just the resorts between Cancun and Playa Del Carmen.  Our top two choices were the Fairmont Mayakoba and the Zoetry, both pretty amazing, but the ceremony spot I wanted at the Fairmont was going to be a bit more expensive than we wanted to pay.  The group sales woman who showed us the property and provided all the info was super nice and very helpful.  The Zoetry ended up being the place we decided to go, as it had the private area for the ceremony.  The coordinator always answers my emails straight away, and it's just a beautiful, intimate resort.

 

Here is part of an email I sent to another bride about the trip and what I thought of the resorts we visited.  Hope this helps!

 

We looked at this place in Isla Mujeres.  We met with wedding planners there who would do the whole thing for you, and it has a cool set up.  Their website is www.SunHorseWeddings.com and their email is lyna@sunhorseweddings.com.  The girl I worked with was Lyna, super sweet!  If you email her, tell her I gave you her contact info.  We looked at the Dreams Riviera Cancun, beautiful resort but no private place for the ceremony (which was a big thing for me), and the coordinator there is swamped.  I saw her calendar, and there was pretty much at least one wedding there everyday from April-July... and I didn't even see the other months!  The Azul Sensatory is also very nice. Their beach unfortunately is not what I was looking for.  It was sort of brown and murky, but they have an awesome site for the ceremony on the roof that is absolutely gorgeous!  Super friendly staff there too, and the restaurant we ate at was amazing!  We also saw the Iberostar hotels.  We stayed at the Grand, and it was really nice.  The only thing was their beach is man made with imported sand, so it's like normal sand, not the powder white sand that's native to the region, which won't matter at all to some, but I wasn't crazy about it. It was still beautiful though.  The staff was very friendly.  Again they didn't have a private area for the ceremony but had a nice reception area.  They don't allow kids to stay there, but they can attend the wedding.  It's pricey for guests as well, closer to $1200 for flight and everything, but they can stay in the other Iberostar properties that are all in that area for cheaper.  They would need a guest pass for $75 to come on the the Grand property if staying at the different hotels.

 

I have some pictures if anyone is interested in the ones I mentioned that I can post.

I definitely agree.  I feel so much better about everything now that it's out of the way, and I can actually get to the fun stuff.  It's such a hard choice, and there are sooo many places it feels like an impossible task to choose sometimes.  Hopefully the Princess PDC works out for you guys!

Oh I feel you, it is such a big decision and yeah, it's hard to make it final... our TA is working with the coordinator now finalizing our contract.  I get nervous thinking about signing it and sending in the deposite because I feel like I'm going to leave something out and be screwed!  Buuut, I'm sure it'll all work out.  Have you done or are you doing a site visit?

    • 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!
