  1. Spin Classes are $10 and they are usually at 9am or 10am.....I think they rotate them with Zumba. Yoga is at 8 and is free. Not a lot of takers of spin when I was there so you have to go in the gym and make sure they know you want to take a class. They have 2 ellipticals and some recumbent bikes and treadmills. Not a huge gym, but was never busy or full when I was there. Hope that helps!!
  2. Just relax and enjoy everything about today. It will be over so fast and all the little things you are stressed about now won't even matter because you will be MARRIED!!!!! Can't wait to see pics!!
  3. Allie!! I would never hold out on you.....well, ok maybe I am just a little bit, but only because I am waiting for the retouched photos.....but if you insist here are a few of my faves...... Not a great pic, but one with us and the MOH and BM.....her dress was $26!!! He thinks he is funny.....so do I, but shhhhhh don't tell him!! Is it weird to like a picture of yourself.....hmmmmm, well I just like this one....he did a great job! Awwwww, so sweet!!! Ok, last one....look at those clouds....don't they look like they were added in here.....they weren't, these are the raw photos....crazy!!!! So there you go and now that we are friends on facebook you can see some hilarious pics from that night!!!! Enjoy!!
  4. I just got married at EDR on April 21st and we got married at the D'Italia Casitas Gazebo. Here's a picture of our set up....we only had 14 guests, so this location was perfect for us, as it was a small intimate location right on the water. Hope that helps!

She did send me some but I don't know what picture goes with what location. Thank you
  5. They were doing some renovations while we were there in Sept and those buildings are great, right across from the ocean. Like Amanda said it depends on what your guests have booked. The majority of ours had swim-up suites on the EDR side and they were INCREDIBLE and we spent a ton of time there just hanging out. Other friends upgraded to a swim-up casita and we loved it too. We had a casita suite on the 2nd floor with an infinity pool - it was a very awesome and surprising upgrade You just really cannot go wrong with any room that you get. My husbands parents were on the third floor of building 3 and while the steps sucked the view was incredible and his mom wanted that more than she wanted a pool, so it really depends, but there is no such thing as a bad room!!! Hope that helps!!
  6. Everything will be PERFECT and you will have so much fun you will never want to come home!!! Make sure if you ever get Geofrey as your shuttle driver, tell him Gail & Chuck say HI!!! He was so awesome. He's the one we tipped really well. He works 7-3 and came in early just to pick us up for our excursions, he def went above and beyond!! The wedding coordinators are better than you could ever even imagine, I don't think I can put into words what a fantastic and wonderful job they did. Enjoy every minute!!!
  7. Ditto for us on basically everything. Our officiant did a good bit of talking herself, so music really would not have worked during the ceremony. Our tipping was all over the place - we did tip some individuals as much as $20, but let me just say that these were people who went above and beyond for us. We had 2 fantastic shuttle drivers, they picked us up every morning for our excursions and I mean came in early and came to our door to get us. Now meals, etc was $1 or 2 or $5 if they were really good. Every day it just depended on what we did etc. Now I didn't know if you tip the wedding coordinators or not, but there was an army of them and I figure they get to split the $100 set up fee I paid since it had to be in cash and I never had another opportunity to tip them, so I didn't. Not sure if that's good, bad or what but it's just how it worked out. They did a fabulous job though, no doubt about it!! Hope this helps a little!!
  8. That set up fee is something, for sure!!! Ours ended up being $100 and we only had 14 guests - 16 people total with us. I had chair sashes, chair hangers and fans for the ceremony which wasn't much, but I had more chair sashes for the reception and a TON of other things......pictures coming soon!!! As for chair sashes, mine came nice and neat and folded up so I left them. I didn't care about the creases and to be honest I can't even remember them on the chairs.....I know they were there, I saw the pics but I can't recall Ok, so 2 funny pics to share.....#1 Brides beware, I was so busy looking around and taking in the ceremony site and decorations I didn't pay a bit of attention to how I was holding my bouquet.....I believe this is the breast bouquet hold Bahahahahahahaha - Oh well, it is what it is. Here is how the night progressed for me and my hubby after many, many, many shots (16 or so I am told) This is right before we headed into the pool!!! Our waiters and bartender were incredible and we had the greatest day ever!!! More to come!!!
  9. We did not, and not because we didn't want to........the minister they had for us was AWESOME, she did such a good job but she was gone before I could even look twice!!
  10. Thanks so much Amanda!!! We are here and it is our wedding day.....YAY!!! I can't believe it's finally here!! We were upgraded to an inifinity swim up suite on the Casitas side and OMG it is AMAZING!!!!!! Here's a pic of us at our welcome dinner......thanks for all the help and all the support, couldn't have done it without all the help and ideas!!!
  11. Quick question for previous brides.....did you tip the wedding coordinator and her help individually or did you just give the onsite coordinator the tip and if so how much? Just curious who all needs to be tipped
  12. FINALLY got everything packed. We ended up with 3 large suitcases and 1 carry on size suitcase.....can't believe we are taking so much, but what's a girl to do!!! Can't believe we leave Friday!!!! YAY!!! Soooooo excited!!
