Oh do you have the date reserved? What time?
We have the 5pm! Thats so crazy that we could be thier at the same time!
We were looking at the Grand Porto, Sandos Playacar, Occidental Grand Xcaret and then we found the Princess. Over all I think it is what we are looking for.
I have been ignoring the bad reviews for that over all it has REALLY great ratings on trip advisory and on this site.
Price is a big issue for us. The three other hotels we were looking at just kept getting more expensive.
We are not doing any kind of reception or dinner so that didn't matter, and now it looks as if we will have too many people for the gazebo (over 50) so the beach is our only other option. Every beach really looks the same. (ceromony wise)
We really liked the property style and heard lots of positive things from the brides on this site.
I wish we could have gone on a site visit but wanted to put the money towards the wedding trip. Oh well I guess I really needed this site more than I thought!
Good Luck!
