  1. Hello La Amada Brides! I'm so happy I found this thread. I'm from NYC and planning my destination wedding at La Amada on May 5, 2012. I've read through most the responses on this thread and have found it very helpful. I recently came back from a trip to Excellence Playa Mujeres right next door to LAH and fell in love with the area, which is what made us choose to have our wedding at LAH. I'm very excited, but I am so lost as to how to begin planning a destination wedding. I was hoping some past and present brides could give me a little advice on some things. First and foremost, my major concern is that I can't find a travel agent that can offer me a standard package for this hotel without having to go through so many complications. My future sister-in-law is a NYC travel agent and sent the hotel an email requesting a room block and group rates and the hotel wouldn't give us either and just encouraged us to book through their website. So I tried going through a few bigger named travel agencies, but they won't give me a package plan unless I give them exact names and number of people coming up front. So I've finally decided maybe it would be best to just have everyone book directly through the hotel. I've inquired about a room block for the second time and Ive been patiently waiting to hear back from LAH to have them send me prices for a deposit on a room block, but I haven't heard back yet because it takes them about 2 weeks to respond, which is getting a little frustrating. I am expecting about 100 people, and my fear is that the hotel will book up and my guests will be forced to stay elsewhere. Has anyone else had trouble with this, or know what the hotel's capacity usually is? I've read on Trip Advisor that the hotel always looks empty, so I'm hoping that I won't have an issue with the hotel not having enough room for my guests, but would appreciate it if anyone else had any insight on this. And secondly, can anyone tell me when they sent out their actual invitations, how many months before? I'd like to give my guests ample time to plan for the trip down there but don't know what's too soon or too late. As it is, I'm only 9 months away from the wedding and don't have anything booked yet but my wedding date down there, so I've got a lot to do. I'd love to hear any tips LAH brides have that might be useful to me! Thank you
