Hilton Rose Hall 2013 - Recent weddings/planning

[sheryllj520]

Has anyone recently had or planning a wedding at the Hilton Rose Hall? It seems though that there aren't many brides talking about this hotel  - recently at least. Any recent experiences to share? If not, and you were considering it, what was the deciding factor and final decision? 

 

Looks like the majority was the Iberostar, any insight to share?

 

Thanks!

I am getting married at Hilton Rose Hall in June. We chose this venue after touring all of the other resorts in montego Bay

I'm looking at the hilton as well... Girls when are your big days? We are hoping for November of this year.

Cherri,

 

I'm booked for November 8th, I think I'm hosting everything offsite though. So the group rates that I got from my travel agent ended up being about 50% off the listed rate on the site. WELL, I just checked the site today as our booking window for deposits ends at the end of the month, and the listed rate on the hotel is $250/room a night. It was originally $420. The hotel rate is cheaper, thankfully not by much. Not very happy right now as many guest may decide to book directly with the hotel vs our travel agent and hopefully we don't get penalized if the majority of the guests decide to book directly with the hotel. 

 

Have you set a date yet?

Sheryllj520, Sounds like you have even doing some research like me. I'm driving myself crazy trying to book a resort. I love the pics I have saw from the hilton but I am getting frustrated not being able to connect with the wc I have called so many times and just get a voicemail it's not putting a good first impression. I am hoping to book this week I have two other resorts I'm looking at the iberostar rose hall beach an riu Montego Bay. But I would love to see if the hilton has our date which is 11/12/13? I just want to talk to someone ugh frustrating. I have even done the online request a long time ago and haven't heard anything. How did you reserve your date? I am getting a voicemail of Charlene I believe but she never answers the phone. Sorry I'm venting but I just want to book the date. I'm sure your guests can book either way but are u getting a group discount from the ta? I am having my guests book through the ta cause its much easier.

I didn't try to contact Charlene directly before I started planning, however ultimately we realized an offsite ceremony and reception was a better option for us. I'm in the process of putting together the details and I've been working with Sadeki of www.chic-eventsja.com  So far the experience has been much easier than trying to find info myself and offsite options look awesome! Do you have any info on the Hilton wedding packages yet or have a date set? Feel free to PM me with questions, I have some Hilton package details if you need them!

I too am looking at this resort, but my date isn't until 2015.  Please keep updating on your progress, or lack thereof - I will be checking frequently.  We all want our days to go smoothly, good luck ladies.  I just emailed the resort with questions, I will post when/if I hear back!
