  1. Hi! We had 55 people at our wedding - ceremony at the Gazebo (i had some awesome heels with my dress so i didnt want my feet in the sand) and reception at the Gazebo as well. The resort did a fabulous job, and Cecilia was also great - in the beginning. Everything worked out in the end, but i found it became more and more difficult to communicate via email with her as we planned the final details. We did not do a site visit. My best recommendation to you is to get down there a day or two before your guests and sit one on one with Cecilia to finish the final planning. There are so many things that can be done last minute without a problem, so just plan the bulk of what you need now (locations, timing, band/dj, photographer, videographer etc.) and take care of the little details (flowers, food, wine tasting etc.) when you get down there. (I suggest getting there a few days before so you can enjoy your time once your guests begin to arrive.) If you have any more specific questions about the resort i'd be happy to help.

  4. We had our wedding here in Oct 2010 - communcation via email was definitely an issue all throughout planning - however, everything turned out beautiful and we were more than happy with the resort! I can honestly say that I understand your frustation - and to make matters even more difficult, we did not do a site visit. I got to Mexico a few days before the wedding to tie up some lose ends and finish planning anything i couldn't solve via email. (ps we had a different wedding coordinator) Our wedding was 55 people - we did the "welcome party" on the beach (bon fire beach bbq) had the ceremony at the gazebo, cocktail hour in the area next to the restaurant by the main pool (with swim up bar) and had the reception next to the gazebo area. If you have any other specific questions, I'd be happy to help!
