We tipped 20% almost and gave her a small gift that we also gave to the guests. She really works hard will do everything to make your day special. But I don't know that there is a standard..... do what you feel is right.

I posted some pictures in the album section of our wedding. Sandos Playacar Wedding by Joshua Albanese Photography... then I posted some from our site visit. I did find the are in the Italian Buffet to be private, they announced us as we walked in, and it is a buffet so it isn't totally private but there were a lot of guests that were saying congrats, etc. Most of our guests and us paid by credit card, but you can pay cash, they have a cash machine that gives out US dollars. We did not use the resort photographer we hired Joshua Albanese out of Chicago, since we were looking for someone to capture our whole trip. He did a good job for us and what we were looking for. The packages are pretty straight forward. I think if you want to do a big reception type event you might end up cheaper just paying for what you want. Also depending on how many guests you have, then you get certain things free. So they assign a dollar value to those packages and if you decide to just buy what pieces you want then you get a credit for that dollar amount (if you had enough guests to get it free). They calculate the guests by 7 days. So for each guest that stays for 7 days that is one, then she took people staying for partial days to add them into one guests at 7 days. (hopefully that makes sense). I think where they really get you is when you want a private service, there is a per person bar fee and per person food fee, depending on what you want. Since we didn't do that it wasn't a factor for us, but we considered it but that added up fast. I have a lot of pictures on face book, just look for Natalie Moreau Ysker and tell me you are from this forum and I can friend you if you want to see more pictures than what is posted on here [email protected] if you have specific questions, I would be happy to try and help out. Just remember that it is Mexico time and because there are so many weddings, it seems that they try to focus on the current ones and then work on the rest. I decided as much as I could before hand, but the majority of it we finalized once we got there. Again we were pretty laid back and Maria answered most of our questions via email before we got there and during our site visit. Maria will make sure that your wedding is very special, she really was great. Hopefully I got to everyone's questions. I will try to do a full review on here later. Let me know if you can't find the pictures on here.
