We are having ours at Fuentes the night before our wedding. We are using that as a rehearsal dinner. It is a little more casual then El Cocotol's but we like the menu choices there. I can let you know how it was when I return on June 2.

Thanks so much to you two (timelsel and ctpetch). I can't wait to read your reviews when you get back.

Does anyone know or remember seeing pics of a ceremony in the garden gazebo? I have pics of the empty gazebo, I just wanted to find some of an actual wedding occuring there.

We didn't do our dinner at Fuentes but we ate there and DH thought the Mahi mahi was really good. I had the pasta primavera which was pretty basic, and very peppery (black pepper, not the vegetable pepper).

The appetizers, the grilled faro of veggies was kinda gross and the gazepacho with red fruits tasted like strawberry juice in a bowl. Everyone else seemed to really like it there but for vegetarians it wasn't too fantastic.

Mrs V-to-be - I think we might have stayed next to each other in the 27 block. I thought it was you but wasn't sure, I was in 2702.

Welcome back...How did your wedding & everything go? I hope it went as planned and can't wait to hear. We are leaving in 1 wk. Any tips I should know before leaving?

Welcome back Melba!!!

I haven't had any time to write a review yet but in short for some tips - the sky palapa was a nice place for a cocktail hour, gazebo 55 is a great location however even if you pay for the wooden walkway you have to still walk through a lot of sand, it was pretty windy the entire time we were there and my veil blew around during the ceremony (but great for laying out by the water), the sand ceremony we did with their sand was kinda bad, no funnel and Jack's hand got died by the red sand.

The location was fantastic, everyone had a great time, the food was pretty good, the drinks awesome, no one got sick on the water or ice or vegetables, rooms great too. I did get an awful cold/flu after the wedding but I think I might of caught it from home and not down there.

So do you recommend not wearing a veil then? I was thinking of not wearing one anyways. Did they do your hair at the resort? If so how did they do? I also should probably bring my own sand ceremony set then your saying? Thanks for the input. We leave in 6 days. I can't wait but may need to do some things quick then.
