thanks so much for your suggestions! I know all the big resorts are beautiful, but for some reason I am drawn to the smaller, more uniqe resorts. So, these are great suggestions, and if there are any others, let me know! I love this forum!

They don't necesarily respond as fast as we'd like - but usually within 48 hours or so, which from what I can tell is pretty much standard in the RM. $200 a head isn't all that bad. Do you mind if I ask what that includes?

Hi there! I am also considering the Paradisus Riviera. I looked at reviews on Tripadvisor and I heard some people say that they felt like the resort "nickel and dimed" them on everything. Are you feeling at all like that? What is the wedding coordinator like? Do you feel like she is responsive and that all your needs are being met? Thanks so much for your help! It is SOO hard finding the right place!

Hey everyone! My name is Jen. My fiance and I are still trying to figure out which resort/hotel in Riviera Maya to have our destination wedding. We are expecting kind of a large crowd 60-80 guests, and are pretty flexible with the date. Ideally, I'd love something a little unique, and would love to have the option of having the reception dinner outside. If you have any suggestions let me know. I am kind of liking the Shangri-la Caribe in Playa del Carmen, but they are shutting down in April 09, so I am not sure if it's a good idea...any thoughts?
