Happy holidays to all KimmyG - yes, the RPRM has free wireless internet in their lobby area. You can even pick up a signal in the Habana lobby bar.

Lisa - Chili's has some great views of the ocean and seemed a bit more informal. Bota Fogo looked more elegant and opens to the courtyard area. The spa is in the same building as the fitness/wellness equipment.

Lisa - here is a link to a resort map handout that they used to give out. RPRM resort handout Not sure if it's exactly what you're looking for or not though.

Lisa and Josie - I did not know any of that information! It seems rather odd for an AI to charge for any kind of drink.. I wonder if you can somehow get bottles of alcohol somewhere and make your own cocktails! I'm sure that wouldn't be permitted though. Hopefully you two can get some sort of deal worked out with the resort.

shellk - We went the last week of March. We were hoping to miss most of the spring breakers, but there really weren't any there. The weather was perfect! Mid to upper 80's in the day and low 70's at night. It only rained one day we were there too. We couldn't have asked for better weather

Paige - Thank you! I saw it in the past pages of this post! It has a ton of info, you're right. Very helpful. I can't get too set on anything, as it will probably be 2 years until I get married and who knows what might change before then!

Lisa - done, and thank you!

Lisa - could you post or PM me the FAQ sheet by chance? Or at least the extra photography info? It's all so exciting! Only a bit over 2 months for you

Lisa - that's very exciting! What is the first step once you are contacted??

Josie - we posted the same link at the same time, but you beat me

Lisa - If you are wanting to put something personalized in your OOT bag, like mugs, glasses, pens, keychains etc, I found that Discount Mugs has a lot of great items for pretty cheap

Paige2010 - It is about an hours drive south from the resort It's not too bad of a drive though, there's a lot of scenery to look at along the way! Plus our van's tour guide had a ton of interesting facts about Xel-Ha and Tulum!

KimmyG - The houses were within walking distance When you come out of the RPRM turn left and walk down that street and you will see many gorgeous houses! There is also a little shopping area called Playacar Plaza about 10 minutes down the road to the left. If you turn right coming out of the resort, walk for 25 minutes and you will be on 5th avenue. 5th ave is great for shopping and eating and drinking! As for the red flags, they did not keep me from the water! It was a little rough, but I only went out about waist deep and I was fine. We booked our trip to Xel-Ha through a local vendor in the Playacar Plaza Cheaper than at the resort! Plus you can try talking them down in price a bit if you feel up to it. We only tried two specialty restaurants, Yashima (Japanese) and Krystal (fusion). We enjoyed both so much! It's such an upscale atmosphere and the foot is top quality. The wedding we saw didn't have any live music, and we didn't see any of the reception. The beach was windy, but much less windy up on the level where the wedding was. It's much windier down close to the water. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thank you for the compliments josie, jetsbride, and shellk! It was an amazing trip! Shellk, The highlight of our trip to the RPRM had to be the amazing service and friendliness of the staff there! They made us feel like royalty We never had to do anything for ourselves. We did tip, just a small amount like 1 or 2 dollars, but it was very appreciated by the staff! As for Xel-Ha, I highly recommend it! Do the full day, as a half day wouldn't be enough time! They have amazing snorkeling, cliff diving, rope swings, inner tubing, and underground caves. We were also deciding between Xel-Ha and Xcaret, but are very happy we did Xel-Ha! You definitely won't be disappointed

What kind of info would you like? I love telling people of the RPRM so don't worry about asking too many questions! Here's a link to my pictures from our trip in March Mexico, March '09
