ROYAL PLAYA DEL CARMEN BRIDES: were kids allowed for the day? ...and other questions

JESMCAN - THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH FOR YOUR REVIEW!!! I feel so much more at ease having that information!!!!!!

Adriana and Lady Di,

This was the best hotel I have ever stayed at!! The service is above and beyond. They actually had a wedding brunch there for 40 whilw were there and the guests could not stop raving about the food and how beautiful the hotel is.

I do not have rates yet but I am getting them this Friday and I would be more than happy to pass everying on. I asked for them to include open bar rates in the packages. Because I am fluent in Spanish I had the wonderful opportunity of meeting Enrique the general manager. He is the person I am working with. He is also going to send me ab bunch of pictures of diffrent set ups that they do. When I get them on Friday I will post them all on Shutterfly so you guys can have a look to.

As far as the tapas he is going to send me 21 diffrent options and 8 other buffet menus to choose from with the prices. I will keep you guys posted and let you know as soon as I get everything from him.

I just have to say again how much I love this hotel

Adriana and Lady Di, Enriques ears must have been ringing because I just got all the info for La Tortuga

Here is the link to check out all the pictures he sent me

I cannot reiterate enough how amazing the food was!!! they do have special menus for vegetarians and allergies. They do have lots of entrees that are not mainly beef. Our whole family are beef lovers so thats why we went with all beef for the tasting. If you don't have them yet drop me a note at [email protected] and I can send them over to you. I also was able to get my hands on the buffet options while I was there. So let me know if you want those to.

5pm is a good time, especially in November because it starts to get dark so people start to clear out. You should be fine at that time. To be honest in my opinion the Gran Porto has the nicest beach location and it is also the largest. Unfortunetly we were told if we do the reception at the Gran we have to do the ceremony there to.

As far as the three beaches at the Royal,

The first beach is the largest and never gets washed away if a hurricane comes because it is somewhat protected by the pier. The down side though it is the main entrance to the beach which is public so that is where people are entering and exiting the beach.

The second beach is the one we chose. It still has a chance to get washed away but it is not by the main entrance. It is however at the entrance to the pool of the Royal but Zulma assured us for our reception at 6pm that guests would not use this entrance. Plus we are having such a big wedding that the majority of the beach will be cleared out for our tables, dance floor and the lounge area.

The last beach is right in front of the Gazebo and actually happens to be my favorite. However this one has the most chance of being washed away. When we went Zulma told us there was barely any beach just two days ago there and than suddenly it came back. So it is more of a gamble at this spot. However it has the least amount of people and when the beach is there is it a beautiful spot.

Sorry I don't know if this was helpful or more confusing lol whichever spot you pick though I can gurantee you the do a beautiful job with the setup
