I know this was directed at Blujena but I can help answer also ...... Included with our package was a 3 hour reception and it just was not enough time at all!! The nice thing about the Barcelo is that you do not have to commit to additional hours in advance, you can decide on the spot. Our reception started at 6pm and at about 8:40pm our w/c let us know that the time was almost up so we immediately said to extend by an hour hour (all our guests were dancing so there was no way we could just shut it down!!). I think my parents signed a receipt and they billed the extra hour to the credit card we used to pay for our package. Our w/c arranged for the shuttle bus to pick us all up around 10:20pm (we were way down the end of the resort at Playa Azul) and drop us all off at Jaguars nightclub where we finished off the night! We also used our own iPod instead of hiring a DJ and I have no regrets. The sound system was awesome. When we arrived at the reception and were greeted with champagne toasts, our w/c asked who she should show how to use the sound system, and then took one of our guests over to show him the ropes, which apparently was very straightforward. Yes they also provided a microphone which we used for announcements (first dance, cake cutting, garter) and for the bestman and MOH speeches. Good luck to all the future Barcelo brides!!

For Babyonline I paid 100% but this was held by DHGate and not released to Babyonline until after I received the dress and gave the go ahead. In my case the dress was made with the wrong measurements so Babyonline reduced the price and the balance was paid to them by DHGate and the difference refunded to my PayPal account.

Rawalter, I actually think the Jasmine's version is nicer - got more bright sparkle to it!
