Did you coordinate the extra flower arrangements with Yuritzia before leaving for Mexico or a couple days before the wedding?
Thank you! I really loved how it turned out! I tried to communicate my wants with Yuritzia before we got there... but that just doesn't happen! SO, all of the flowers were chosen a few days before the wedding. It was lovely.

We've been back a couple of weeks now and I have nothing but good things to say about the resort and wedding.  We had 51 guest travel with us to Mexico.  We flew with Air Canada Vacations and got marr

I can't remember if I asked this yet, but for the brides that already got married there, did you use an ipod for the reception or cds? I know that at other resorts there were spme problems using cds on their equipment.

 

And for the ceremony music....cd or ipod?

That is cool! I work in Labor and Delivery in Chicago. Been doing so for 4 years now. Love it! I'm glad all of your planning is done. I think I am pretty much done too. I have a few DIY projects to complete and I haven't even started my OOT bags cuz I still don't have a final headcount. I know I have about 60 guests already so far though! Drinks sound fun! We will have to arrange a meeting place once we get closer to the date!

Hey have any of you guys heard of a shuttle service operated by the resort that transports guests from bahia principe to playa del carmen for like $5 or something like that. I had read somewhere that they leave around 9:30 and return around 1:30 or something... not sure where though... anyone have specific route times and cost per person round trip? thanks

Hey Gals I just came across another question... Did any of you purchase wedding insurance? Do you recommend it or not? Also, Did you guys get to see the location for Plan B in case it rains outside for the ceremony and or reception outside by the pool? Particularly for those in akumal section?

OK, bunches of questions today!! :)

Martha, I brought CD's. If they play in a normal CD player they will work on their equipment. I didn't even ask about my Ipod. I figured if I lost a 30 cent CD I'd be much less heartbroken than my Ipod!

 

As for the shuttle to Playa... it's possible. I'm not sure. However, you can always take the Collectivos. They are $2.50 each way and super fun and easy. That way you can come and go as you please rather than being on the hotel's schedule.

 

I did not purchase wedding insurance, but we did purchase normal travel insurance and encouraged all of our guests to as well.

 

Plan B for the Akumal section isn't actually that nice sad.gif Well, compared to the beautiful outside that is. It's the bar connected to the theater. It's all large glass windows and you can see the lush vegetation... but I'm not really sure how they'd set it up for a wedding. I'm sure when it has to be done it looks just fine :) For the reception, if you have paid for a private outdoor reception and it rains, you will be in Club Coba. Don't be confused, it's in the basement of the Akumal Lobby. it's basically like any normal indoor banquet hall, except that it's in the basement and has no natural light.

Also did they stop in front of the resort entrance or how far of a walk was the bus stop?

I know exactly where you are talking about. Ok, well your right it isnt as beautiful as having it by the beach but hopefully i wont have to worry about it. As far as Club Coba I had read from another person on trip advisor that they had their reception there but by choice, so maybe it isnt that bad right? Well thanks Trisha. Hope all is going well with you.

Oh how exciting! Hurry home with pictures!!!!! Love every minute of it!!

 

As far as the Collectivos... they pick up right in front of the resort, ALL the time. And then they drop off just a few blocks off 5th ave in Playa and they run very frequently.
