Great review!! Thanks for posting. Congrats =) I can't wait to see more of your pics, Sol does such an amazing job.

They look great!! I love the shell on the front label.

I know, i hate to do it again too - but if anyone could also forward me Syl's budget i would really, really appreciate it. Your wedding was absolutely gorgeous and inspiring =) Thanks for the amazing review! My Email: [email protected] Thanks in advance!!

I don't think they understand it would be more expensive if they were to stay at a hotel that didn't offer the all-inclusive...Thanks again! I can't wait to hear all about your wedding and see lots of pics!!! HAVE A BLAST!! I was also quoted the $130 per person, per night directly from the hotel for my wedding next October, so that would be the same for you since that's when you'll be there too. I thought that was a great rate to start with, and i'm hoping to have my TA work out a group discount to go even lower.

I think we stayed in the second-lowest category - i believe it was Partial ocean view. Which to be honest was kind of a joke - i think if we stood on our toes and craned our necks we could KIND OF see the water, lol! But the rooms were super nice and brand new, and we didn't spend too much time in there anyways, so it was okay for us. But you'll definitely need to pay for the upgrade if you want a good view - i think there are only 4 buildings that have true ocean views, other than those, you would be too far away. I don't know if this link will work, but i found this map online when i was looking at the resort: Webshots - Full Size Photo You may want to email the resort to request one of the building numbers closer to the ocean. Good luck!!

Carolina24, i have stayed at Secrets Maroma Beach and it was AMAZING!! Plus the added perk that it is adults only makes it more honeymoon-friendly. I was there right after it opened in November 2008, and it is truly a beautiful resort. Best food i've ever had on a vacation too! I think we are going to go on a honeymoon later in the year in Hawaii, but if i was staying in the Riviera Maya area i would definitley consider going back to Secrets. I think it would be nice to get a change of scenery after the wedding by moving to another hotel, you'd probably be able to relax a little more too.

Congratulations and good luck! If you are looking for a more affordable destination, you might want to consider Mexico, in my experience travel there is much cheaper than to the islands.

Welcome to the forum!! There is definitely a wealth of Playa del Carmen information on this site, i'm sure you'll find plenty of ideas here. Good luck!

I had the same experience as the others - it was calling for rain every day last year when i went down in November, and I literally don't even remember seeing a cloud! Even if it does rain, it will probably be for like 15 minutes or something. The odds are definitely in your favor!!

That is very cute and sophisticated! Great find.

I love #3, i think it looks perfect on your body. You definitely do not need to worry about your stomach!!
