Changing Resorts after Wedding ???


Recommended Posts

Hello everyone!  Anyone else looking to change resorts for their honeymoon after the weddng?  We are getting married at Iberostar Rose Hall Beach next year and was thinking of going to Ochos Rios or Negril.  I've heard wonderful things about both.  We were initially just going to switch to Iberostar Rose Hall Grand, but it would be a nice for change of scenery.  If anyone has any info or experience staying in or is going to stay in Ochos Rios or Negril, any information would be greatly appreciated!  One of our biggest things is that we don't want to incur alot of extra costs in doing this as far as travel.  We know that staying sonewhere else is going to cost us, but we basically don't want to hop on another plan to get to our second destination.

 

Thanks so much!!!

wow not getting married in JA but I just asked this same question recently.  we are thinking of doing the same but not traveling on plane either would be more costly as well as waste honeymoon time traveling more.  I went to a wedding last hear at the RIU in JA was beautiful, I believe I was in negril. If you hare having guests then leaving the resort will ensure privacy during honeymoon period.  Does your hotel have a sister hotel maybe you could stay at one and still receive a honeymoon incentive since marrying on sister resort

I plan to head over to a Sandals or Couples resort after my wedding at the Iberostar Grand. I get bored easily and after 5 days I need change. Plus I'm Jamaican and my hubby isn't so I want to show him all of Jamaica so we will most likely bounce around. I want to head over to Kingston on my way home.

I thought about switching resorts after our wedding at Iberostar Beach too, but decided against it. Instead we are going to switch to the Rose a couple days after our wedding and most of our guests have left. From everything I have read so far, most brides say they loved the Beach or Suites but were blown away when they switched to the Rose. So I really don't wanna miss out on the Rose.

 

Also, we are hoping to schedule to two days of excursions off the resort to see more of the island (we paln on being in Jamaica for 2 weeks). That is what we did last year when we in Jamaica and got engaged. We stayed at Sandals Whitehouse which was absolutely awesome and really secluded and I highly recommend it if you do switch resorts. We booked a full day trip with Talk of the Tours and had a private driver for over 12 hours (and it was only $150). We had the best time, we were able to plan before hand what we absolutely wanted to do and then our driver showed us a lot of local sites and places that we would not have not seen otherwise. I strongly recommend doing this and can forward information to anyone interested as I still my email convos with them.

We are not getting married in Jamaica, but we are switching resorts after the wedding, to a more intimate resort.  We are staying 5 nights at our wedding resort and 5 nights at our honeymoon resort both are in Punta Cana about a 30 minute drive apart and both are all inclusives

Laura2013 - I think that's what we are going to do.  We talked about just going to the Grand.  Is that what you are talking about?  It just seems easier to do that and I've also heard really great things about that resort as well.  However, I would love to know more about Sandals Whitehouse.  No final decision has been made yet, but am definitely interested in knowing more about other resorts.  We are having many guests coming to the wedding who are also making this their vacation.  I told my fiance that although I love our family and friends very much, I don't want to see them after the wedding.  OMG that sounds so horrible, but hey...it's my honeymoon!  That is also another reason why I'm thinking I may want to change resorts. 

 

I agree with Fran too - change of scenery would be nice as I get bored as well.  Ugh - decisions, decisions!!!!

    • 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!
