Happy Planning!

First, I must say a special shout out to the women of the Moon Palace 2012 Brides forum.  We have truly gone through ups, downs, highs, and lows.  Thank you for trusting me enough to share, an allowin

Shan in our opinion it is not!

 

The resort is comparable to Moon in the following areas:

-Number of Pools

-Number of Places to eat

-Service

-Spending of the resort credits.

-Cars/carts to get around

 

The resort falls short to Moon Palace in:

-Activities to do on the resort (they are suppose to get jet skiing, para-sailing and a few other things in a year to two).  The horses are so tiny that if your husband/friends weighs more than 180 pounds you can't ride them. 

-Life at the Pool, they had 1 band and music playing at the "main pool", and it was still dead. However; they did not have anything and I do mean anything else going on.  Moon Palace had activities, food, etc... going on all the time at each pool area. 

-Although they had a number of restaurants (most of which is in the main building), the food wasn't that great.  Many people that we met were talking about this.

-Although we did not witness any weddings, the set-up on the beach wasn't that great.  But the deck was about the best place but again that's in the main building.

 

The resort beats Moon Palace in the following:

-Room Decor

 

-Beach is by far better than moon palace!

 

 

The addition of the casino was great for those who gamble but you won't find anyone there during the day.  The club Oro (located in the casino) was dead even at 12am.  While the decor was nice, it was very cold in there and you have to buy your drinks.  LOL  those that stay on the resort get in free but other people come to the resort for the club so they charge a cover for them.  But everyone has to buy drinks LOL.  What a joke.

Well thank you for your honest opinion!! Sounds like we will not be going there any time soon!  That night club sounds like a joke- i can't believe you have to pay for drinks!!

 

I think we may be going back to Moon Palace for our one year anniversary! :)

For the cost, it was so disappointing (besides the spa).  Moon Palace will always be OUR special place and we plan to go back.

itsjuliez,

 

Wow, Wow, Wow smile03.gifthank you for the kinds words.  That was a lot to read through LOL.  Please don't feel like a stalker, as a matter of fact the website expires on the 15th of this month (I won't extend again), so if you need anything wording etc... I suggest you stalk away :-)  I never look at the email portion!

 

Happy Planning

      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!
