Good luck Julissa! I am headed there 3 weeks from today... So I can't wait to read your review and hear how things went when you get back! Especially how you felt the Beach Gazebo location was. Hope everything turns out amazing!

sunny55143, everything you have posted has been a big help! I am down to only 4 weeks until we leave and still so much to do, ugh. I just had a couple more questions for you if you don't mind... - Did you have programs made up for the reception with the menu you chose? Or ceremony programs also? - Did you also have an itinerary for your guests made up with different events you are doing throughout your stay? - If not, how did you let your guests know what you'd be doing each day or arrange group get-togethers? I am torn because I want to spend time with our guests throughout the week, but I also want to make our guests vacation their own, and don't want them to feel forced to do what we do. I am also hesitant to plan any excursions in advance in case it rains. Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hi Bjeantil, the Steakhouse restaurant is included, I believe it is just the French restaurant that is only for the Club Premium guests without an additional charge. But I believe anyone can eat at the French restaurant for $15 per person if you are not a Club Premium guest. The Steakhouse is available to reserve for a private party for up to 40 people. We are having our rehearsal dinner there the night before the wedding, and it is at no additional charge, which is nice. Just so you know though - it is a set menu, you have to decide on one of two menu's, with the exception of any vegetarians, they will make a vegetarian dish for those who require it. I don't think there's a time limit for the reservation, as long as they have it available on the day that you pick. We reserved it in April for our October wedding. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have further questions.

Thank you sunny55143, yes, your responses definitely help! It's tough to know as far as location, thanks for your input. Now that I'm only 2 months out I am finally starting to make decisions... They finally sent me some options and pictures, yet I am still waiting for info, so I still have many decisions to make. Any input is greatly appreciated! :]

Hi ladies, I have read through all these posts over the past few months, but have not yet posted myself. The majority of my questions I believe I have gotten answers to, except a few questions below. If any of your have answers to them can you please respond? I would greatly appreciate it! :] Also, please feel free to email me for any answers as my wedding is now only 2 months from today. - In the list of what's included with the packages (Strawberry & Tangerine) it says that "payment of tax for judge or minister" is included, but then on the list of extra's it is $550 for the Judge for a Civil Ceremony. Do any of you know if that $550 is an additional fee, or if that's the tax they're referring to that is included? - We're having a rehearsal dinner at the steakhouse the night before the wedding, for those that have been here or already got married here, how was the food? - We were told that the ceremony will be in Spanish, does anyone know if it's a Civil Ceremony if there are options to have it in English to be official? - We picked the Beach Gazebo for our ceremony location, and now I am a little leery about that after some reviews. The gazebo is beautiful, and is what drew me to this resort in the first place, but I have read how some people say due to the location they wouldn't pick to get married there. I just love how it looks with the water in the background, does anyone have any thoughts/opinions on this location? If there or at the beach itself, I assume there will be people nearby, I am just wondering if by 5pm if it will have calmed down, and not to worry about it. Thanks much! Mandi
