Hey, I think if you email the hotel, general email adres, with your question, they will be able to answer in not time. I had a few questions myself, and they always respond very quickly. Good luck!

I don't remember exactly, but I'd say sometime btwn 8pm & 9pm. We had dinner reservations at 7pm & by the time we were done the beach party had started. You should ask Chandlyn, I'm sure she knows.

If it is saturday that would be the perfect place for my meet and greet.
You said it started around 7pm or 8pm. That would be perfect!
Was it fun?

It would be good for after your meet and greet. The beach party is basically the evening entertainment moved from the stage to the beach. They do some funny stuff to get the crowd involved, like a dance-off. Then they have flame throwers, jugglers, acrobats, etc that perform around a bonfire. I enjoyed it, but it's pretty loud so it would be hard to really have a welcome party at the same time.

Chandlyn told me that the beach party is on Saturday. We just booked the Seagrape for our dinner/reception on a Friday night(YEAH!!!)
However, you might want to check with the Riu or Chandlyn cause maybe it's different each month/year?!?

I'm sure you'll still have a great time even if it's not on Friday!

That makes sense because we are getting married Sat and therefore couldn't use Seagrape for our reception...so we are going with the pool
