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

The catamaran company is called Catamaya. They are based out of Puerto Advanturas (a short drive from the resort). Here is their website: :::::::::: CATAMAYA ::::::::::

They also do group rates if you do not want to rent out the whole boat. Their boat, staff, and experience was wonderful (we saw sting rays and sea turtles while snorkelling, then they handed you a drink when you got back on the boat). -Trent

DH took this photo of the Royal during Parasailing.

 

Hopefully it helps show where the Royal can host the beach receptions. We had ours at the far left, next to the pier and in front of Pelicanos Restaurant.

 

I have closer photos of the resort. I can post them if anyone's interested.

Maybride - I bet you can't wait to get down there!!! I know I can't... We leave in 5 days and will be married in 8!!! It's all coming up so fast but we are ready!!

 

We will be having 12 guests, and they're all from my side. Mostly friends and family coming down from Canada. My poor fiancé is a little dissapointed that none of his groomsmen or family could come down from Texas but we're having an AHR on august 1st at our house (ack!!)...

Hola everyone! I returned back from our beach wedding (June 5) at the Royal and loved it! We are so happy with the way everything turned out and we have a ton of photos. I'm not sure how to do a review on this thing, but I will do what I can. If you have any specific questions just ask.

Where did people do their Welcome dinner at The Royal? Did anyone do it in the garden? If so, how was it? This has been the hardest to coordinate - trying to get info to the MOG

 

Thanks!!!!!

I really can't wait! SO excited! I am in packing mode right now and things are FINALLY coming together. Who is your WC?

Maybride...have a great time on your wedding week!!! Can't wait to hear all the details when you get back!!!!

Thanks you so much, I am booked for May 29th, 2010 and am already worried about the whole thing, I love everyones reviews, giving me lots of tips, I try to coordinate with my planner, Zulma, but I think she thinks I am a little crazy since I have so much time, but I figure the more I get done now the better... We went on a scouting trip 2 weeks ago and it all seemed great, I am hoping not much changes, or it gets better, a little less than a year from now! Keep the pics and reviews coming and thanks for your input!

Has anyone used the hotel DJ? I am sure someone has talked about it, but don't recall where??

Thank you! It is getting so close now! I will be sure to post and let you all know how it goes...hopefully it is wonderful! well it has to be wonderful with all the I have put up with in the last 8 months!!
