We have our own butler on call 24 hours a day and they will pretty much cater to your every need. They have fruit for you everyday, had tequila and champagne waiting when we arrived, and do an aromatherapy turndown service. Check in is even amazing - you are greated at the front by your butler, you sit on a bench and someone brings you a tropical fruit popsicle and then shows you around the property on a golf cart. Their is no front desk, you just go to your room and they start unpacking your stuff for you and you just sign and give them your credit card. It is very relaxing and not a party scene; however, after being in Cabo for 6 days with all of our friends, we are ready for some relaxation. We are right on the ocean on the third floor and have a bed outside on the terrace where my husband is asleep right now! I don't ever want to go home! Can you tell I love this place? I can't believe I was ever doubting it! I almost forgot, about the price.... We got a great deal on our room, so that isn't too bad. The food is expensive, but it has been amazing so far. We live in LA, so we are used to paying an arm and a leg for meals, so this is a little bit more, but worth it because we are laying on a secluded beach with people bringing us misters, drinks and looking after our every need! raina, so awesome...my best friend honeymooned there about a month ago and steve and i are going there for our 1 year...have you seen any celebs yet? christina A?

i was wondering what we could do to get some of the hawaii, Riviera maya, dominican republic brides to feel more comfortable and become more active... i can do a prize like a travel certificate like before...MarieElena used hers that she won and it saved her $50. what do you guys think?

great info jackie!

I would say save your money on the cigar roller and get The Twins to play at your reception! I am going to post a full review soon, but I just saw this post, so I wanted to tell you all our experience with cigar roller. It was by far our biggest waste of money! you're finally here...i want pics!

i figured eventually we would start talking about decorating, household, stuff etc.

i think andreslove is getting married here in march!

Anybody have any great ideas? People are planning some things on their own, like the zipline thing. the boys did deep sea fishing and steve caught a huge marlin but one of the guys got super seasick...he was drinking a little too much. i used redrum...they are highly referred on tripadvisor BUT if you use the discount vouchers, they had one for deep sea fishing and you could really save some $$ for girs, we did a spa day...hung out by the sauna, ate fruit, champagne, etc or a girls shopping day.

Quote: Originally Posted by JENESIS After reading such a favorable review about Baja, I'm wondering more about them. Has anyone used them? i think there are a few brides on here using them...i think Natalie (toesnthsnd) is one of them and she has been really happy with them.

you can't get a passport with a marriage license (at least not that i know of) ...unless she wants to change the name to her married name... Quote: The Passport Services Office provides information and services to American citizens about how to obtain, replace or change a passport. A passport is an internationally recognized travel document that verifies the identity and nationality of the bearer. A valid U.S. passport is required to enter and leave most foreign countries. Only the U.S. Department of State has the authority to grant, issue or verify United States passports. New Application for a U.S. Passport To obtain a passport for the first time, you need to go in person to one of 7,000 passport acceptance facilities located throughout the United States with two photographs of yourself, proof of U.S. citizenship, and a valid form of photo identification such as a driver’s license. Acceptance facilities include many Federal, state and probate courts, post offices, some public libraries and a number of county and municipal offices. There are also 13 regional passport agencies, and 1 Gateway City Agency, which serve customers who are traveling within 2 weeks (14 days), or who need foreign visas for travel. Appointments are required in such cases. You’ll need to apply in person if you are applying for a U.S. passport for the first time: if your expired U.S. passport is not in your possession; if your previous U.S. passport has expired and was issued more than 15 years ago; if your previous U.S. passport was issued when you were under age 16; or if your currently valid U.S. passport has been lost or stolen. For more information on getting a new passport, please click How to get a passport. Renewal of a U.S. Passport You can renew by mail if: Your most recent passport is available to submit and it is not damaged; you received the passport within the past 15 years; you were over age 16 when it was issued; you still have the same name, or can legally document your name change. You can get a passport renewal application form by downloading it from this site. If your passport has been, altered or damaged, you cannot apply by mail. You must apply in person.

jackie, you would have to book in 2006 and the room rate will stay the same but airfare does fluctuate daily so who knows, it can be higher or lower than this rate by the time you are ready to book. Also, know this rate includes the lowest air (the return time isn't that great) so if you want better flight times it will go up... to book: i need your name and fiance's name as it appears on passport Air must be paid in full (about $425) $125 deposit for room
