Playa Fiesta anyone?

Has anyone on this site been married at Playa Fiesta? It is a Wedding Botique hotel so only you and your guests occupy the hotel and the wedding welcome dinner and cermony/reception all take place right there. I am trying to get more information so if any is planning a DW wedding there please let me know.

Have you seen these threads? They are really good for pics. PVbride recently got married there, but I haven't seen her review yet.
Back from Site Visit! Lots of Playa Fiesta Pics!
Playa Fiesta - Candid Traveler Pics WOW!
Playa Fiesta - Average Costs?
Also check out tripadvisor.com. Playa Fiesta gets raving reviews and you can PM the girls there for any questions.
Good luck!

I'm getting married at Playa Fiesta next February. We're doing a full takeover for 5 nights. I love the privacy of doing the buyout, and we're doing dinner/entertainment on 4 of the 5 nights, so it will really be a great party! Lindsay, the WC, is absolutely fantastic - I can't say enough about her. Feel free to PM me with specific questions. Good luck with your decision, Kate

How did you make your travel arrangements? It can get expensive booking the hotel and flight separately.

Check with Airlines, most offer a group rate that can often save 10-20% off. Also your WC should be able to get you in touch with a travel company that can also get you a great deal for booking in groups.

Cheers

Playa Fiesta is AMAZING! I visited the facility a few weeks ago and i Too am planning on having my wedding there in April of 2009.
I dropped in and was lucky enought to meet the owners, Lindsey and Adam, and they were super cool and accomodating to us dropping by.
You will love this place.
If you haven't been there...dont worry, the pictures dont lie!
If I can be of any further assitance, send me a message!

Amber,
Are you doing a partial or full takeover? I am really hestitant on doing a full as I don't want to get stuck footing the bill if we can't fill all the rooms.

Hey!

I am doing a full takeover. At first I was very skepticle of the full takeover and thought it sounded like too big of a commitment, but we both have rather large families and several friends. The list starts to grow quickly.
We are only doing 4 nights. 5 nights just sounded like to many nights to have our guests commit to and 3 wasn't nearly enough....so we opted for the 4 night package (friday-tuesday) so it works out PERFECT!
Please excuse any miss-spelled words, Im typing this in a hurry.

peace
Amber

Hi Ladies,
I noticed that you haven't been on here since April... but I think I am going to join your party at Playa Fiesta and was wondering if you had any advice?

Suggestions huh? I just knew this was the place for me. I read lots of reviews and there were no negatives. I plan on doing a site visit this Oct. so I will get to see the place for the first time. The coordinators are great to work with and respond in a timely manner. It does end up being kind of pricey which is why went with the partial takover. More guests = more $ for the dinner, bar etc. I was also looking at las caletas but that really wasn't much cheaper. Let me know if you have any questions.

We have already booked our week, the minister and photogrpaher and our wedding is not until Oct 2009. Good luck.
