Affordable Resort for Guests???


Recommended Posts

When I was looking for a resort, we started by looking at Apple Vacations, then checking reviews on Trip Advisor. From there, we cross-referenced Expedia and other travel sites. My guests are paying about $1300-1400 for a week at the Iberostar Dominica. Apple's price was $1650+ including insurance!

Hi Ladies!

 

I'm in the same boat... I want a resort that's affordable to all my guests - and one that will allow me to have a beautiful wedding as well.

I am a 2013 bride and I felt that starting my research now will allow my guests to start saving etc...BUT it's close to impossible for resorts to give us prices for 2013... every price they give us is tentative... not to mention SUPER high... for example Barcelo Bavaro Palace is quoting me $633 for 3 days based on double occupancy... $1023 for 3 days on singles... and this is land only - by the time they book air it's well over $1200.

DLR gave us the best prices so far at $132 p/night based on a 3 night min. and children would pay $55 p/night. Only problem here is that flights to La Romana are not as frequent as those anywhere else in the Dominican Republic - and flying into another airport only means having to arrange approximately 2hr transportaion to all the guests - many of whom will travel with children - and I can't imagine 3+ hours of air travel plus another 2 hours by car... So DLR is no longer my 1st choice...

I'm sure most of my guests will want to make this a vacation too so they will plan on staying more than 3 nights.

I will gladly post any additional pricing I receive from any other resorts - I hope you guys all do the same :)

 

Good Luck!

xoxo

    • 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!
