Sheila, Your pictures are amazing! How many hours did you have your photographer? -Ashley

I decided to stay at Fives for my wedding on June 11. We have almost 50 people booked. My fiance and I reserved the 2 bedroom penthouse suite. We can't wait to see it! We were able to book 3 adults in a deluxe room, but the rates were much higher for 3 adults to cover the all-inclusive fees for the 3rd person. It's basically the same amount per person as it would be if you only had 2 adults in the room except it's just more crowded. Now that you said that though, we are definitely going to double check this. If they didn't allow 3 adults in the deluxe room, I don't why they would have given us the rates for a 3 person deluxe room Interesting... I'll let you know if I find out anything. I've been working with Jo'Zeen Edmonson as my wedding coordinator. She usually responds the next business day. We have not been able to confirm many of the details yet. She said she usually doesn't get into the details until about 90 days prior to the wedding. But, so far so good. bigpapaq-- You said that Fives is more intimate. Have you toured the property? I'd love to hear details. We toured Sensatori in December and loved it, but didn't have Fives on our list to tour at the time since it wasn't open. We decided to change to the Fives later due to the location (much closer to Playa) and because we decided to move the wedding date back to accomodate our guests (which would give time for Fives to open and get their feet wet). I also love the oceanside pool with swim up bar in the pictures and the thought of it being smaller and hopefully, more intimate. I'm preparing myself for some hiccups with Fives, it being such a new property, but I'm also hoping that they are delaying the opening due to some of the issues that Sensatori had which were probably a result of opening too soon. At least the Fives staff is getting to practice on the owners of the property too. (Fives sells ownership in its condos and some of the owners are already staying there.) Well, good luck to everyone and thanks for sharing your stories!

Mysti, Who is your TA? We love Grand Velas, but the online rates are so expensive. We saw it in December before it opened. Our wedding is on June 11, 2009 at Azul Fives, but we're considering changing hotels. -Ashley

I'm Ashley and I'm getting married in Playa del Carmen on June 11. I have my date reserved at Azul Fives, but I'm considering changing resorts. Any suggestions close to Playa del Carmen that allow children would be great!
