Barcelo Maya Tropical vs. Grand Sunset Princess?


Recommended Posts

Hello, I am planing a destination wedding in January 2014 and have it down to 2 resorts - Barceló Maya (Tropical or Colonial) or the Grand Sunset Princess. I would love some suggestions or feedback from anyone who recently got married or attended a wedding at either of the 2 resorts. Specifically I am looking for some feedback on the following but any other comments/suggestions are very much appreciated: · Area for the ceremony (pictures provided by the hotel are sometimes misleading), the ones on this site are very helpful! · Beach reception and the qualify of food (GSP - most people choose the chil out reception based on what I read, has anyone done the beach buffet?) · Live music (i.e. mariachi band) · Beach itself ( I hear the GSP is not a great beach?) · Wedding coordinators ( GSP has been so good at correspondence so far (Pilar) where barcelo takes weeks!!) · Any last minute changes done by the hotel which were not earlier discussed · Minister and/or church · Wedding packages offered by the hotel ( · Hotel itself – grounds, cleanliness, etc. · Accommodation of large groups – we are looking at about 50+ guests

Hello! I am also looking into a wedding in Spring 2015 at either the Grand Sunset Princess or Barcelo Maya Palace Deluxe. I like the rooms better at the Grand Sunset, but like that the Barcelo has an on-site Catholic chapel since that is what my fiance and I are hoping to have. If we do the Grand Sunset, we are looking into a chapel off-site with the reception on-site at Grand Sunset. Has anyone gotten married at a Catholic chapel off-site? If so, any helpful tips you could provide?

 

I see the price for the chill out is $100/person, anyone know the pricing for Barcelo Maya? I am yet to hear back from either resort!

 

Also, pictures are always helpful :)

 

Thanks!

    • 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!
