Hi Terbear,

 

I know Suzanne Morel's salon has airburshing...Its expensive there though: $125.00 for face and body and $105.00 for body bronzing.

I don't think the Spa at the RIU had it...Its a super small spa, I was very surprised.  I was told the RIU Santa Fe Spa is larger than the one at the Palace, but we never checked it out so I couldn't say for sure.

Kary, Thanks! Wow...those prices are nuts!!! I will just deal with pasty white people and tans lines...including myself! Lol. Maybe I will bring my own tan in a bottle!! Valerie, Airbrush is like spray tanning but done by an actual person onto your body not the machines. So you don't get the running and streaking! Its done with an airbrush like airbrushed make-up but bronzer for your whole body that typically last a week! Thanks All!!

Hi Valerie!

Yes I ended up getting the room upgrade, but I had to ask for it.  We had a GREAT view from our room, # 3063...See pic below.  It was also by the quiet pool and nice because it was right off of the lobby (the Lobby is on the 3rd floor) view from room.jpg

Just a heads up, I pretty much think if you were on the 3rd floor, you had a view of the ocean.  My inlaws paid for an ocean view room, and were on the 2nd floor and were mad because everyone else didn't upgrade, and they had a better view than their "ocean view room."

You can also go to the front desk every morning and give them the list of your guests that are arriving and request for them to be at least on the same side of the resort as you.  The resort is HUGE, so its nice to have people close, or at least your bridesmaids.  You may even want to go the evening before if you have a lot of people coming in the same day. 

 

Happy Planning!

Kary, Great review. Thank you so much! I am planning a wedding there for April 27, 2013.

My biggest fear is that there will be an ugly cruise ship in the water behind my wedding. You also mentioned water taxis pulling up to the beach.

Was this a problem for you? I don't seem to see any in the background of your pics so far. My wedding will be on a Saturday at 4pm like yours so maybe I will get lucky, too.

Did you happen to notice when the ships came around? I would like to avoid them if at all possible.

I got married on Friday, April 13th and there were no cruise ships. I arrived on Tuesday and there were cruise ships there all day and night on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Far as the water taxis, they leave from behind RIU Santa Fe, so there were never any behind the Palace during my week stay. I even took the water taxi few times to town and Lovers Beach. I had to walk down to the Santa Fe to get on.

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      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!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      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!
