Catalonia Riviera Maya

I think we may have been upgraded, but it was to a delux room, not a suite. The room was pretty large. I liked it better than the suites. Some of the suites have their bathtub on the patio, which is kind of weird. Our guests loved the suites, but I was much happier with our room.

Oh... and we did book a suite and were so glad we did. We needed the space and we used the tub on the patio alot. We had tub parties and our friends came over. Everyone loved to hang out on our patio and sometimes we would all run to the buffett, grab some food and race back to our patio and hang out. It was such a great memory.

Plus the bed was huge and you could block the room in half which was excellent on the wedding day while we got ready on one side the photographer stayed on the other half! Not to mention the fridge, safe and two sinks were great too. We felt very taken care of in the suites and they were always filling our fridge with goodies. Also, we were about 25 steps from the pool/beach which was so handy! We would get up early throw our towels out on the chairs, eat some breakfast and then lay out. We had 40 people join us and we all seemed to see eachother most of the time. We enjoyed the swim up tequila bar on the Yucatan side but I wouldn't want to stay on that side. Things were boring over there and it seemed like all the older people stayed on that side. It was kind of a buzz kill and nobody was ever in the pool over there. If you want my suggestion, stay on the RM side, you won't regret it!!!

We can't wait to go back and I think we will get the same suite... it was room 8101!!!

Good Luck!!!

yeah, i think I'm the odd ball about the suites. Our guests loved them, but I really liked our room.

When we were there the yucatan side was the wild side. dancing, loud music & topless sunbathing.

I loved how the place was small enough that we were always running into each other. Sucha great size for a group trip. I want to go back!

Thanks so much for the reassurance Erica!! I am starting to feel less stressed since I made this decision, i just don't know if we will get married first or after, but I am leaning towards after. One question, did the minister speak English?

The suite sounds so great, I will definitley request a suite on the RM side, I don't think it will be a problem if we book with Yucatan.

I finally feel like things are starting to come together, I ordered my STDs last night! YAY!

Hey Ladies,

This thread has been pretty quiet lately, any updates? I am still waiting on 2011 pricing and booking in August, but I ordered my STD and just got them yesterday (will post pics soon), we didn't put a specific date on them rather May 2011 with updates to come on our wedding website and then invitations later on.

Does anyone have the 2010 price list of flowers, dj, recpetion costs etc?

Any new pictures to be shared??

It has been soooo quiet on here lately i was thinking the same. Maybe once the 2011 pricing and bookings have been confirmed there will be a few more of us. It will be August before we know it, 6 weeks and counting! Do you know when in August they get their prices out etc as i was just told 'August' by my TA.
