The resort had a big sign (the size of a car or so) at the entrance of the resort when they arrived welcoming our special group. (we loved this!)

The wedding planner at the resort was fantastic. We loved her and all she did.

All of our rooms were in 1 bldg. - close to each other (and the ones that did not have the Elegance Club were together in their own bldg.) Thank you to the travel agent for assisting in this process!!

The private buffet we had for the reception was the best food we had all week. Lobster, prime rib and some fantastic wedding cake (banana flavoring)Everyone was fighting over more!

The resort distinguishes the elegance club guests by their bracelets. The regular rooms get the plastic type of bracelet to wear all week and the elegance club get a nice looking bracelet that is made of strings and wood. We really liked the upgraded bracelets

All in all - it went great. What a memorable trip!

Here is a slide show of pictures from our wedding:

We had a great time. The resort was beautiful, and was everything I imagined. I didn’t realize it was only 3 years old. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Of course, being all inclusive was so nice because we always had water and other drinks available in our room. The pools were great, and there were many grass hut bars throughout the property so you could always get a drink. The ocean was beautiful, and there were always enough chairs on the beach and by the pool.

We also enjoyed the entertainment that was available each night. There were many options for dining at night which was nice. In addition to the restaurants, they changed the theme for the buffets too. So one night it was Mexican, one night Chinese, etc. The food was excellent. Everybody was so friendly. The only thing that wasn’t good was the desserts, but then that was nice because you didn’t overindulge.

The dune buggy excursion was awesome. It was really nice to see the country and how the locals live. Of course, I am sure you heard that two cars did get separated- which was very scary, but all ended well. We were able to buy a CD of our excursion, which is nice to have for memories.

Lastly, the wedding was absolutely beautiful. You couldn’t have picked a better landscape. The pictures are gorgeous.

Thanks for all your help. Everything, from the travel to the resort, was very well organized. I am ready to go again.
