I read a couple of reviews on TripAdvisor this morning about the Riu. Seems like last week and earlier this week, there were a couple of problems at the resort. I would be beyond pissed if this was to happen while I was there. I wonder if the guests will be compensated in any way? Lets just hope this problems are fixed asap!

Here's a review I found about registering online at Target (via epinions): Where to start! I was registered with Target.com for my wedding. I had several out of town family members purchase gifts online and have them delivered. The first one I received was the complete incorrect item (wasn't even on my registry). I took it to Target (store) they wouldn't return/exchange it for anything! Then in order to return it to Target.com, I had to pay shipping myself! The next deliver again, was incorrect. I received 2 of the same gift, instead of one of each gift. Same problem occurred dealing with both Target (store) and Target.com. After numerous phone calls, legal threats, etc. The situation was finally resolved 8 MONTHS LATER! Not to mention a month after our wedding, our registry was removed from the internet making it impossible for "late-gifters" to pull up our registry from their own home. Since this all happened, I have advised EVERYONE I know from using any of Targets registries, or ordering from them online. Even their in-store return policy has gotten ridiculous. I wanted to make an EVEN EXCHANGE on a Christmas gift (just wanted a different color). They told me that they would have to track that to my driver's license number. I told them absolutely NOT, that's absurd!

I know when we went to Jamaica last year with a group of our friends, we booked directly through Air Jamaica travel agents. I cant remember the total # of seats we had, but we got somewhere like 5% or more off the given ticket price since we had a group. You may want to try to contact them directly and see where you come out.

My travel agent is trying to convince us to go to the RIU in Negril, he really loves it. He said he saw an awesome wedding at some little hotel called the caves. Great idea. I didn't even think about that option. I could always just have my guests stay at the Riu. That may just work :~) Thanks!
