Maroma should be a great place. Their wedding coordinator, Monica is very responsive and helpful. They have a chapel as well. They are a bit small than the other karisma resorts.

Which Maroma are you referring to? there's a Maroma beach club , handled by Karisma, AND there is a Maroma hotel (Amazing!!! )

This is a wedding Matt did at Maroma Resort (Orient Express) : matt adcock photography

Heres how I see Marmoa!



















Also, the bride had the master suite, and a HUGE closet... It was filled up with all their other stuff and requested that the living room closet be the place to hang her dress. Only problem was that there was no closet rod for hanging cloths in that closet. The hotel sent a carpenter to install one on the spot! How is that for customer service!

This is a very beautiful hotel!

Hi! I am not sure which Maroma you are asking about...I photographed an amazing wedding at the El Dorado Maroma a few weeks ago and just posted the photographs to my blog

The ceremony was held here:

Maroma (orient express) is a BEAUTIFUL tropical hotel. They have one of the most beautiful and private beaches in the area. The hotel is luxurious (albeit a bit pretentious) and has amazing food. The downside is that they require 80% of your guests to stay for 3-5 nights. It's a 4 night requirement arriving on wednesday and 5 nights arriving on thursday or friday. The rates start at 350 so it may be alot to ask of your guests depending on their financial situations.

HI everyone !
thanks for all these responses !!! somehow i missed them all, please forgive I am new at this :)
matt & sol & elizabeth- thanks for the photos, they are great - such nice work you guys do! ive def been looking at your photos throughout this process and they are beautiful!
We ended up booking hotel esencia instead, ultimately it was difficult to guarentee the # of rooms they required from our guests.
thanks mexico09 bride, that was exactly the problem
But we are VERY excited about esencia.
Thanks again for all the responses-
