Congratulations! We had more than a few issues with Chandlyn too, seems to be a theme lately! Let me know if you call the Riu to complain or at least mention the crappy service. I fully intended to but could not actually find the phone number of someone who might care. I am glad that you still had a great time despite all the things that were not quite as expected. We had a great time too and it wasnt until the day after that we realized how badly they had screwed up. (My biggest pet peeve was a minister vs. civil officiant, did they at least get that right for you?)

Congrats and Welcome Back!!!
I'm sorry you had so many issues... but sounds like you handled them wonderfully! I hope I can have the same laid-back attitude when its my turn.
Yikes... another not so good review though for ROR/Chandyln. I hope they turn things back around over the next few months.
What sort of room did you stay in? What did you think of it?
Can't wait to see some pics!!!!

That's Unfortunate that you had trouble with Chandalyn. I have already put my family in charge of decorations because I am so afraid that will happen. Did you ever get your cake? BTW, where did you get your sparkers? Did you do any decorations at the seagrape?

We were extremely happy with his service. | |

Some of these reviews have me concerned.
Would you recommend Riu to another bride at this point? | The resort was great and all of our guest enjoyed themselves. Just travel with a back-up WC and make sure you have all your details squared away. We plan on going back. | |
