@Bekahlee we initially considered Secrets Maroma Beach, but had concerns about travel to Mexico considering the spike in crime. Since then, I've heard that most of the major tourism areas (Cabo, Riviera Maya) have not been impacted. We are back to the drawing board as well. We would like to find another resort in Punta Cana since DR is a great location. @Miche35, thanks for the heads up on Paradisus, we were going to look into that resort, but I was a little hesitant. We will probably at least visit the properties during my trip next month. I also inquired about Puntacana Resort & Club, it's not all-inclusive but the resort looks really nice and the WC has been very helpful with providing information. Please keep me posted if you ladies find any other great options.

Miche35, who provided that information? I was targeting a May 2014 wedding date, and Scarlet indicated that the resort was closing in March for about 4 months...I am a bit disappointed as well.

KKertz, thanks for your post. This will be extremely helpful as I begin planning. I am in the process of selecting a location in Punta Cana for our Spring 2014 wedding, and I was very hesitant to even consider Sanctuary due to some of the posts regarding little to no responses from the staff. I have been in contact with Scarlet over the past month, and while the response have been slow, she has been very helpful. I'm glad you and your hubby had a great wedding, and I'm really looking forward to visiting the property next month.
