I stayed at sun village in march of 07 and the ground are beautiful. i am a pool person and they have around 7 pools, 2 with a swim up bar. the resort is spread out, never had a problem getting a chair at the pool or beach. there are lot of stairs so older ppl might have a problem.

I got married at Sun Villiage Resort and Spa and it was fantastic. I would recommend it.

Sure...

My wedding photos that were taken at the resort (not the resort photographer):

Dallas wedding photographer Stacy Reeves Destination wedding in Puerta Plata

And my day after photos that were also taken at the same resort:

Dallas wedding photographer Stacy Reeves Sizzlin’ Destination Day After

If you have any questions about the place feel free to PM me.

It's going great!
We haven't done a WHOLE lot yet!
My dress is ordered Style 8439 , invites are sent (in March!), I just ordered my favors, cake topper & flutes 2 days ago Add to Cart , Add to Cart , Add to Cart .
We still have to get our rings, documents translated, attendants gifts, FI wardrobe, shoes, lingerie, BD photos, and the list goes on!!!
I haven't made any arrangements with the hotel yet except wedding date & time.
I am going over wedding "stuff" with the TA next week (she's a DW specialist!!).
So...still lots of stuff to do!!

If you are looking at the RIU Bachata for your wedding, I will warn you that they do not have the beautiful white sandy beaches that Punta Cana has. I sacrificed the beach for the clifftop gazebo!!

PLEASE let me know if you need anymore info!

Why would you put your FI in charge of invitations?? LOL

And don't stress!! Apparently I sent mine out WAY early!! I just thought that since it was a DW and people should book early then I could/should send my invites out earlier than normal! As long as everyone who's invited knows about the details then you are fine!! Don't stress!! But if you look it up in the etiquette section here then you will see when they should be going out!!!
(And keep a close eye on FI!! lol)

She's right...the beaches aren't that nice but that gazebo got me!!
Also, PC is more expensive - could be why she swayed you that way!
(Sorry...it might not be the case, but that's my first thought when someone who works on commission leads me toward the more expensive "product"!)

In any case I'm sure it will be a beautiful wedding on the amazing white sandy beach!!
