  1. Natalie Ann! Your pics are beautiful. We were in communication back in the Winter when we were planning on Azul Fives and I was needing wedding invites. I decided to have my wedding in the states but am so glad that your wedding turned out to be stunning. Congrats on your marriage!

Although I also heard that if you'd rather go with one of their current packages, they will still let you do that. I am wondering when we should/can confirm our 2010 date...any ideas? I need to check in with our travel agent again on this, she is sometimes so hard to get a hold of! It's pretty annoying...are you using someone good that works with people in other states? How many people do you think you are going to have at the wedding? Are you going to be able to take advantage of any of their group rate deals? PEACE: I am so sorry, I never saw your post...I haven't checked this thread in so long because I didn't think anyone else replied to it or was getting married at PP! Glad to see there are others who are though! I was looking at Azul Fives, and if $$ weren't the issue for me, I'd go with them in a hearbeat! But, I chose PP since it's more affordable, still modern/contemporary, close to shopping, restuarants, bars (Playa del Carmen's 5th ave is only a 5 min walk) and we can also take the ferry over to Cozumel Palace to eat/drink for free there...heard we can walk into a town from there as well - anyone know which town and is there anything in that town? Also PP's (and all Palace resorts) have great group rates!! Not sure what they will be for 2010, but I am hoping they will be the same since this was also a big reason for us chosing this resort. Of course we haven't confirmed our date yet...so of course I am STILL going back and forth between lots of resorts, and can't stop looking around, but I keep going back to PP...although Cozumel Palace seems really nice too and have great reviews and won many awards...ahhhh!! ;o) Good luck everyone and let's try and keep us all posted! Emily Thank you Emily! I am excited for all of us. I really, really love Playacar. The only thing I am not the craziest about is that they seem to squeen in 6-8 weddings a day. The resort doesn't seem that big and the thought of running into 7 brides and their parties seems like a lot. Can anyone shed light on this?
  3. Thank you so much for the photos eebruce! Glad you are making progress bigpapaq. Please continue to share updates, progess and photos please!
  4. You are sweet for stepping up. My wedding isn't until November so I am just now in communication with Fabio. I would suggest calling and leaving messages until you get a word. I chose Fives over Sensatori because of the proximity to Playa del Carmen. I also like that is not as large and quite simplistic. It's really hard to determine much else at this point with limited photos and actual photos of the finished resort. I am sure it will be beautiful and Karisma has a certain standard of food and such. I imagine Sensatori has more for kids possibly? Good luck...please let me know of your progress!
  5. Hello! I am currently scheduled to have my wedding in November 09 at Azul Fives but am reconsidering. I am wondering how your planning and interaction with Playacar has been? Are you happy with your correspondence, packages, etc? Thanx!

Does this affect any of the brides? Anyone have their wedding scheduled for December or January? How are they accomodating you?
  7. Hi Ladies, Does anyone feel comfortable sharing how much they are spending on wedding invitations. If you don't want to indicate publically, you can email me at lisaisys@aol.com. I would love to know your vendor as well. Thanks!

I guess it depends if you plan on taking lots of photos after the wedding whether it will matter for you or not. Good luck! Hi Beachbride Thank you for replying. I changed my time to 4p. I was assured that there would still be some day light for pics after the wedding. I actually recently switched my venue to Azul Fives. Unfortunately there are very few of us so I am always on this thread for the great insights and info.
  9. Hello Ladies! I was sent the initial contract to return with $200. The problem, the time give to me is 5p. I want an outdoor beach wedding. Isn't it dark in November by 5p? Would 4p be to close or should I push for 3p?

I have asked Fabio for some photographs of possible ceremony and reception sites but he said he would not be able to provide these until mid Dec - early Jan. I have previously asked on here before if anyone has done a site visit but no one responded There is a small review in this topic http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t31547 If I get any more info, i will be pass it on to you all. Hello! I am not officially confirmed yet...just waiting on it to come in. I am really excited about my choice. I imagine that we will be compulsively checking sites come the end of December.
  11. Quote: Originally Posted by Tracy_S Hey ladies! I may be joining this forum, as my wedding date at both Azul Beach and Sensatori is not available! I was just wondering if any of you have done site visits or have any actual pictures of the resort? Know when its supposed to open? I have contacted my WC to ask all of this but thought if you guys knew now that would be great. I know on Karisma's website they digital pictures, but I am hoping to find "actual" photos of it? If anyone has anymore information on this resort that would be great... Hi Tracy, I do not have any actual pics but I am sure that we will have access to them when the resort opens in late December/early January. I have not done a site visit. I will make sure to post info as it becomes available to me.
  12. So I have officially decided on Azul Fives and am awaiting my confirmation for November 16, 2009. I am so relieved to have decided! I am happy with my choice. I am looking forward to hearing about the opening and seeing more pics and gathering more details. Please post any new info when you get it

Otherwise we are having a big party back in scotland for everyone who couldnt make it. we couldnt afford to pay for lots of people to come to mexico....if we could we would!! It is roughly working about £1500-£1700 per person for 2 weeks all inclusive and about £1200 for one week all inclusive...thats flying from Scotland. £1500 is equalivent to about $2300. I dont have a clue how much you guys would be in the states. I havent picked any flowers etc yet I am just guesing that I pick all that when I am over there. I would like to have a bbq and a dancefloor on the beach for the evening reception. I emailed fabio asking if he needs details of this prior to our arrival or if we can just arrange it all when we get there but he hasnt replied yet So are you steering more towards the fives or the sensatori? I have asked Fabio to provide me with ceremony and reception options but he says they wont be available until mid dec-january Yes, I am leaning toward Fives. I like that it's close to Playa del Carmen. I do wonder about their indoor restaurants in the event that it rains and a reception has to be moved indoors. Also, what would be the indoor option for the wedding ceremony? I think we may go to another resort a couple days after the wedding for our honeymoon. Possibly Secrets? By transfers, I meant the drive from the Cancun airport to the hotel. Thanks for your reply.
