Been to/stayed in Pedregal?

[Jaims]

Okay girls here's the deal: we want to rent a villa and have a catered dinner after the ceremony for about 30-40 ppl. from what i'm hearing, the rental companies will charge a site fee for you to host a "reception" which i completely understand, because i'm sure in the past people have trashed the place, etc. the thing is, its just a dinner, so no dj/band/photog/florist, etc. i guess pedregal is gated? do you have to check in, how do they know who to let in? my question is, if we have friends staying in a hotel, can they come up to the house? I was hoping we could just book a caterer anyways but if they have to check in, i'm sure the gate will know we haven't paid a site fee?

I know I sound crazy, just trying to get this all straightened out. I couldn't get ahold of someone at Cabo Villas today, do you think they'd be the most flexible? i'd certainly be willing to put down an extra deposit, but dont want to pay a bogus site fee for nothing if i dont have to.

If you've stayed here, let me know your experience. thanks!!!! happy friday!

I have never stayed there so I can't say but I think I read on their site that with some villas you can only have a max number of people over. So for example if the villa sleeps 14, you can only have 14 people their max (even if they are just their for a dinner and not to stay overnight). I could be wrong about this but hopefully once they contact you they will answer all your questions for you. Good luck with everything.
