Picking a Resort

Excited Ottawa,

We are having our wedding ceremony at the Iberostar an then doing the honeymoon at the Majestic. I had heard rave reviews from both! YAY!

Thank-you so much for letting me know!! I really really like The Majestic, but every time I mention it, someone tells me about the only 2 bad reviews I have found about it. It's comforting to hear that other people are still going there!! It's definitely at the top of my list. Have you seen the facebook group for the resort? If not, check it out, over 500 pictures and lots of members to talk to about their experiences!!!

One thing to keep in mind about the Riu complexes and weddings is a strange rule that if 80% of your guests are at one hotel in the complex you have to get married at the hotel where 80% if the guests are. (Wedding Packages by Destination. Honeymoon Holidays. Weddings by Riu)

I know that's what ruled that Riu out for me. Knowing some of my family, we would have ended up at the Naiboa drinking wine out of a box. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but I'd like something slightly nicer for our day.

I thought I posted this today but maybe I didnt...

Here are a few things to think about while planning:

Where your fliying out of.

We are flying out of Boston Mass, rather then Manchester NH because it is much cheaper. Mass is about 1 1/2 hours from us where Manchester is 30 min.

The days you are flying on matters a lot as well. Saturday to Saturday was more expensive. I went with Friday to Friday and it made it much cheaper...

We are getting married at Gran Bahia Principe Punta Cana

We paid 1250 a person, that includes our flight, tax, transportation to and from the resort, the resort price including all drinks food and every room is a Jr suite.
