I'm getting married on the May 3, 2008 and I changed from the Riu myself to one of the local villas that was on the beach. I worked out alot better because we were able stay there as well as have our ceremony and reception there. I talked with a few people and I found the catering and everthing but I will have a local wedding planner that can handle all of the foot work for me because I'm not there.
I was alot cheaper and more flexible for us. Let me know if you want anymore info.
