I read in the fine print that the packages provide travel agents with a 20% commission, does this mean our guests must book through a specific agency? Also, past brides have mentioned a Palace Passport included in their reservations for free guest excursions and discounts on spa, golf, etc. Is this promotion still valid?

Thank you! Seems like there is a general consensus which helps in the decision-making process. Thanks gals, I will keep you posted in my choice.

I thought my FI and I had settled on Moon Palace, but it looks like the beach is plagued by seaweed? I've seen a few pictures and it seems to remain consistent. Out of the the other Palace resorts, we want the package with the horse-drawn carriage which is kid-friendly...which leaves Aventura Cove. Any advice on which is better? I have my heart set on a beach wedding so the condition of the beach is super-important. Please assist!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you...this may be the first forum where I have no questions at the end of reading it. You covered every detail imaginable!! Thank you!

Hi all BDW brides, Wanted to share my experience with Mariner's Resort in Key Largo. My FI and I loved the well-maintained grounds and private feel. The gorgeous townhomes and villas sealed the deal for us. We put down our deposit a little bit over a year before our wedding date. We even printed our STDs. Then three weeks later, our WC calls us and says that all events at the resort our being cancelled because of "changes in management and [they] couldn't ensure the quality of any of the weddings." I was heartbroken...selecting the site for us meant that everything else could fall into place...and they couldn't get their act together in a year? They didn't even refund our deposit until my FI disputed them with the credit card company. So, brides beware...Mariner's is lovely, but they have not got their act together.

Thank you for taking the time to be so thorough!

Yay! I am so excited to find this thread! I am a April 4 2011 Moon Palace bride and am looking forward to learning from your experiences! Anyone find additional pictures of the packages, especially Amber?
