I am starting to look at destinations for my 2016 DW. So far it looks like Punta Cana has the most options so that is where we are mainly focused. However there are so many that I am torn between a few, so I would appreciate any feedback from anyone who has visited these resorts.
First off, a few things about my wedding: we will have between 60-70 guests of all ages (including toddlers). We want everything (ceremony reception, etc) on the beach. I would like to keep everything budget friendly for my guests, without being too cheap.
I have read reviews of some of the places having choppy, seaweedy water and the beaches not the best.....however, these reviews were a little outdated (2011?) so I was looking for more recent reviews on the resort itself, weddings, and the beach there.
These are our top picks so far: (in no order)
Barcelo Punta Cana or barcelo Bavaro Palace,.. Not sure the difference yet
Zoetry Agua PC
Hard Rock Hotel & Casino
Iberostar PC
Paradisus PC
Now Larimar
Dreams PC or La Romana
Memories Splash PC
Or if there are any other great resorts I may have missed.
