Hi, This is one of the main reasons why we recommend doing a group block, because then your rooms are held and guaranteed for your guests. I know brides don't want to do it because they do not want to put a deposit down but we have heard so many sad stories of even parents not being able to get a room when the resort sells out. Is it the last weekend in June? If so, I have a family suite that I am about to release. Also, Azul Beach is right next door so they can stay there (for more $$).
