Right now, we're renting out the entire property of Moondance villas. Our guest list is pretty small, so I'm thinking that we will be able to get everyone at the Villas. If not, Miriam has been great, I'm thinking we could just reserve a few rooms at the Cliffs. Initially, the guest list was 60, but my FI asked that I reduce the number! I did it because that's the ONLY thing he's asked for during the process. So maybe won't even need the Cliffs. We've invited 40 and maybe 20-30 will show.
I do think we will use the Cliffs for the fitness center and the spa. I don't think the Villas has this option.
I may take the route you did and allow our guests to choose which resort they want to stay in. Of course, the villas will be first come, first serve. And most of our guests would love the option of having a mini-house during vacation. But those cliffs are GORGEOUS!
The only reason we didn't book the cliffs is because we really want to get married on the beach.
