  1. I have some questions that you all might have the answer to. Do they allow you to pick a few different entree choices; beef/pork/fish for your private dinner as long as your guests have already chosen ahead of time? Do you know if they will also offer a kids meal? How far out were you able to secure your ceremony and dinner locations? For a reception at Zocalo terrace do you know if they use the square tables already there or do they bring in rounds? I know these are wedding coordinator questions, but a certain someone hasn't returned emails in awhile!
  2. Jen-I'm glad your visit went well. I use photobucket.com to upload my pics and then copy and paste the image code into your message. Do you really think you are limited to the conference room? If you like the plaza, go for it. Once it is all set up for your wedding, I doubt other guests will come close to it when walking by.

  4. Krista-Congrats on your wedding and thanks for posting your review! I'm glad it went well. You have provided a ton of valuable information. I have one question-who is Honey? Is Carolina still around as well? I'm glad they are hiring more people to help, I just hope she's good! I can't wait to see some pics!! It sounds beautiful, especially the flowers!
  5. TripAdvisor has been extremely useful in my DW planning. I used the site to read reviews (especially of weddings) and to look at the traveler photos when choosing a resort. We ended up choosing a brand new resort that just opened November 1st. TripAdvisor has been my lifeline regarding how things are going there. The reviews go from one extreme to the next and I agree, you just have to know what is important for you and your guests. I also read the Puerto Morelos forum everyday and pick up a lot of tid bits about the resort or further discussions of the reviews. I can see how TripAdvisor can be a stressful resource during all of this, but I'd rather hear it all instead of being surprised when I arrived at the resort.
  6. I found these a month ago. I just got around to ordering them and they should be arriving Monday!
  7. We also addressed our envelopes by using a pretty font and ran the envelopes through the printer. I think it looked pretty nice. Our font was "Anke Calligraphic FG" downloaded at dafont.com.
  8. I just got mine today! I'm leaving for vacation in the morning, so I'm planning on starting on Tuesday. It's totally going to kick my butt!

I will write a more detailed review as soon as possible, but in the mean time ignore the nasty people on TripAdvisor Congratulations! I'm glad it went well. I can't wait for your review for more details and to see some pics!
  13. I am doing the same thing. All my (3) bridesmaids are in Ohio and I'm in Texas. Next weekend I am going back and we are hitting up the dept. stores. It looks like the spring stuff is now coming out and I'm hoping we can all find something and get it over with!
  14. Hello, I'm a Sensatori Bride, but I came across 2 things that might be of interest to you. First the good, pics! These were supposedly taken by a realtor the 1st week of January. MicheleinPlaya/Construction Updates/January 2009/Azul Fives - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting Next is the not so good. The resort is supposedly not opening until Feb 12 at this point. Playa del Carmen forum: Azul Fives opening date: Mid Feb! - TripAdvisor Now just going through this with Sensatori, the wedding coordinators and our TA's didn't have a clue about delays until the day before or day of! Another little tidbit of advice is to prepare yourself for a rollercoaster of emotion the next couple months. I'm sure they will have similar opening problems as Azul Sensatori has. Take the Tripadvisor reviews with a grain of salt, and keep an eye on the Playa Del Carmen forum on Tripadvisor for lots of valuable information. Best wishes to you!
  15. I just checked my email and last I heard from Fabio was on 11/25. I had sent him a request of locations on 11/6 after our site visit, when he did finally write back didn't mention anything about it. He asked that I send him my date, time and type of ceremony so we could start on the details sheet. Of course I emailed him that information and hadn't heard anything since. As usual, I'm waiting patiently!

  17. $499 is a steal for that dress! It was one of my favorites when looking. Actually the one I ended up getting was pretty similar.

I heard it's still under construction with lots of seaweed floating up shore, is this true?! I'm not sure how many weddings they have had so far at the resort. We have had 4 girls that post here already have their weddings and who knows how many we don't know about. It is a Karisma resort and Karisma has their weddings down. I think we all feel confident that the resort will do a great job with that. It is true that the beach is not the best in the area. That may or may not improve, good news is that there are great beaches in the surrounding area that you can enjoy. Any construction you have heard of will be taken care of by the time you would be getting married. If you have any other questions-please ask!

It is my understanding that the honeymoon suites are at the very ends of the buildings facing the ocean. I know #19 is the family suites and I think they have honeymoon suites on the end. No thanks. I think #14 is the adults only building due to it being connected to the pool with the wave bar. So no oceanfront honeymoon suites. So is #12 the premium suites and #17 the regular rooms? Thanks for your help!
  21. How about placing one of everything on the ceremony chairs? If you are doing seat assignments for the reception you could place them on the tables. Or maybe a basket would work better and they could pick them up themselves.
  22. Just an early Copngratulations to McBradley, chloe, CandJ08 and Mrs.StephP.2Be!!!! Your weddings will be great, several good reviews lately of the resort. Don't worry, they will collect your money eventually! Please report back with pics. You know we are all dying here!!!! Best wishes and have a blast!
  23. I got my topper a couple of weeks ago, just finally got around to "blinging it". I'm pretty happy for it considering the price. I picked up some stick on rhinestones from JoAnn's Fabric. I love the looks of the professional made ones with crystals, but you gotta cut back where you can. It's not perfect, but I doubt anyone will really notice!
