I was also planning a wedding there in Nov, but now I am having second thoughts about the resort ?!? ... It doesn't have the best rating on Trip Advisor, my travel agent said there are better places to get married ... :o/ ... She said Dreams and Palladium, but we weren't keen on their layout, we wanted a big pool. Other people say RUI, but we also didn't like their big buildings. For Barcelo Tropical I read reviews of hard bed, poor food, low quality alcohol, smells and mold ... not to mention the 2006 Barcelo Beach story, which you may not want to look up :o/
One tip, if you have not been in touch with them, CALL THEM to book your wedding day 011 52 984 875 15 00 (try to get to the front desk, then ask for the wedding coordinators, we got bumped around about 4 times til we got there) ... I was told you had to request your wedding date and time by email, but when I tried I never heard back, so I had to call. I heard that they are not great when you try to email them, but when you get there everything goes like clockwork and the flowers, spa, tables, chairs etc are very nice. (you will need to know what wedding package you want when you call/email to book your date and time - I got the document with the options from Erika at sac5.op6@barcelo.com)
Let us know if you book there. If anyone has other suggestions/recommendations, please let me know )
