canadian and us suppliers work a little differently so it could be

wow, i am so sorry. your experience sounds HORRIBLE!! but i did want to tahnk you for writing an honest review of him. I wish the previous BDW member had. I think it is really helpful especially when the service and attitude is this bad.

rates for 2010 have been out now. you can sometimes block the same rates the previous year if you do a group block. I have been able to do it alot. like if 2010 rates were not out yet, alot of times the resorts will let us apply 2009 rates for the same period...but this is for group blocks.

also, wanted to add regarding the beds. most of the rooms have 2 double beds. The only way to guarantee a king sized bed is to book the rooms with those beds (usually honeymoon suites) but of course that is more $$ than most want to spend. So if you are diligent and ask the front desk nicely, they really try to be accomodating. You may not get the king bed the first night, maybe the next night but they do try to work with you.

salomeh, congrats!! i am also glad you liked Gilda. She is so sweet and one of our sponsoring vendors. I can't wait to see your pro pics!! you look gorgeous in your sig pic. Also, can you share some pics of your flowers and prices from Florenta? i know people are always asking about that. also, i am glad you reviewed yarai. i have had many people concerned because they do not read as much about yarai on the forum but i have to say to those worried about using her that she is really great. super organized and sweet!!

you do understand the BBB is a paid service that vendors pay to be part of. ALOT of businesses, vendors are not on BBB but that doesn't mean they are not legitimate.

dee, just have a great time!!

beyondsmitten, i have a NO-TOLERANCE policy on any attitude to the mods so you you have been banned.

i have to agree with TA maureen as well. it does not take just a few days to get group rates as you have to see if the space is available, then get the contract, go over the contract, negotiate terms, etc...this is not done isntantaneously. also, to be honest, if i had a client that changed their dates a bunch of times, it would really make me think twice about where to focus my time and energy....and i am NOT saying that vivrant_thing, you did not have good reason to change your date but i like to focus my energy on clients that are committed to their location as well as date. they are the clients that get my priority. we get alot of people that contact us just to "kick tires"...i have even had people contact me before they got engaged for a wedding 3 years out..

erika, what a great touch to your wedding. i can't wait to see them all!!

there were actually very mixed reviews on dw. com...i wish i had the threads but they were lost during the last server upgrade which was very annoying.

Thanks this is also considered soliciting and could get you banned from the forum. consider this your warning.

michelle, congrats on your big day. you looked fantastic. isn't yesica just the sweetest? she really tries to make your day perfect. I am glad that you were able to get the honeymoon suite for most of your stay...if i had found out earlier that your TA dropped the ball, we probably could have gotten it for your whole stay but even the basic rooms are super nice.

i think shavon is a member of the forum and from what i heard she is pretty great.

just updated with more pics...

congrats Michelle...looking forward to your review and pics!

Ashley, thanks for the update. I think it is wonderful that you came to a resolution that was satisfactory to both of you. It really shows the power of BDW and also what can happen when people just try to be civil to each other, have good intent, and try to work things out.

We can only afford one trip a year if that and my sister is getting married sometime next year most likely in hawaii and then we will start having kids and have to factor that in! ;( I just want to go sit on my butt at dreams and eat and drink!!! we bring the babies/kids to dreams because it is so easy...just sit by the pool and order fish tacos all day my sister is getting married this year and we all wanted her to do a DW in mexico or hawaii but she chose santa barbara

lakerbride, i am sorry posts like these upset you. you have the choice to read them or NOT. some people want to know how vendors respond to complaints about them. in this situation it looks like ashley and carlos are talking things out which is a good thing in my book.

our 3 year anniversary is in a few days as well...usually we go down for it but this is the first year we can't because i am over 8 months pregnanct

jaime, i haven't heard from you so i assume everything was ok with your sister's reservation. sometimes the reservation desk does not update the front desk quickly enough but when we called, they said her res. was fine. have a great day tomorrow and keep us posted. emailed with elizabeth and she is excited for your wedding!

we wanted a DW and our closest family and friends attended BUT we also had alot of family and friends that could not attend. also, it was a cultural thing and my parents wanted to have their own event and invite as many friends/family as they wanted. they shelled out the dough so who was i to say NO. it made my mom happy, i got to see distant relatives that travelled from asia, australia, all over US to see us.

yes, we do know of their rates in nov. you'll need to contact one of the TA's to give them your exact dates to get pricing.

i would talk to TA Jill or TA Jennifer on here. they both do alot of cnacun and TA jill is a former dreams cancun bride. It is alot easier to have a contact person for your guests.
