I too am looking to go to the Melia CAribe Tropical Beach and Gold Resort. We are thinking we will have the Premium Tropical Fairytale package, depending on how many guests RSVP as yes. If not, we'll have the regular Tropical Fairytale package. I have a few questions for anyone in the final stages of planning and especially for anyone who's been there: Do the bride/groom automatically get upgraded to Royal Service? Has anyone had a beach ceremoney or reception? Is it private or do you have onlookers the whole time/people in the background of your pictures? Whats the difference between the 2 beach locations (for both ceremony and reception)...Caribe vs. Tropical? If I'm traveling with someone with a disability, will it be terribly difficult for them to get around? (She can walk, just has a hard time breathing- can use a walker to help if necessary). Does anyone have any pictures as to what exactly the Tropical Fairytale flowers/ceremony/reception look like? I've seen pictures in their guidebook and everything, but nothing indicates exactly what that set up looks like (maybe it's customizable...I too have been confused by their information and pricing). What percentage of your invitees are actually attending your wedding? I've read/heard to expect 50%...does that seem accurate with your experience? Thanks for any help I can get!!! My friend had a destination wedding last year and swears this site helped her to make a lot of her decisions so looking forward to any additional information I can get.
