As of 2 weeks ago, I was sent the pricing but it still has the dates for 2013 only. Really hoping they get 2014 pricing out soon.

We are booked with Westjet Vacations. We used them last year too. Westjet guests get some extra perks at this resort We were thinking of doing the pool reception too but I am still having a hard time wrapping my mind around what they charge for this. I don't have any exact prices yet but by the posts I read on this fourm it looks like it is quite pricey. But at the same time we want to have something for our guests to do after the dinner. If we leave it til that day, everyone will have different opinions on where to go and what to do. As for the entertainment on the resort.... I know Coba had something different going on every night near the main lobby. One night was karaoke, another was dancing or some sort. I didn't think much of it. We did head over to the hacienda which is closer to the Akumel resort and they have entertainment there and shopping. The coba had a few different bars that you could sit at and be served drinks. The premier lobby at Coba had a band/singer almost every night and had people up dancing. The only time we spent at Akumel was to go to the Brazilian restaurant. It was def our fave one out of the 4 we tried. We went a little late in the evening so we couldn't eat as much as we wanted to. My advice, go on an empty stomach!!! I am sure u will hear from them after the busy season. If not send them another email. There is nothing wrong with being persistent. Will let u know if I hear anything else! Sara

We were there last April for a week and absolutely loved it! Such a nice resort and I like that its big because you can go adventuring in the night times and check out different entertainment or drinking areas. As soon as we got engaged we knew we would be going back there to get married. We lucked out with our TA, she initiated contact with the WC for us. Now we just have to play the waiting game for a bit so I can ask all my questions and hopefully get them answered. What airline/tour operator are you travelling with? If I hear any other info I will be sure to pass it along. Good luck with getting in touch with a WC. I am sure someone will be in contact with you soon. I remember back when I was first planning everything, I was going to book it all myself and I emailed the link on the GPB website. Someone wrote me back within 2 days. Maybe try that route. Sara

I haven't heard from them directly yet. My travel agent has been in contact with them to get the initial information covered such as what type of wedding we are having (symbolic remember pkg), the restaurant choices (we had 3 choices, italian,med or seafood) and we also had to pick our set menu for ALL our guests as well which was a little stressful ( I don't know how to keep 50 people happy haha). As for directly speaking to the WC, I am not sure who my coordinator is yet and I have not been contacted directly but sure hope I hear from them soon as of course I have a million questions. I know this is a busy time of year for them with tons of weddings happening during this peak time, so I am just trying to be patient and hope I get in contact with someone once the rush is over. Have you been to the GBP before?

Hi ladies! Just booked our wedding in the mayan riviera January 26-Feb 2. We are getting married January 30, 2014 at the Grand Bahia Principe Coba. Got great rates from Westjet Vacations through our travel agent. We have guests coming from all over Canada and we were really happy that we all arrive and depart on the same day. Just got some of the pre-planning info from the WC. Had to make some decisions already about where to have the dinner and had to pick a set menu for 50 guests (hope everyone likes chicken gorgonzola) Anyone else on her getting married around that time period?

We booked our date at the beginning of March 2013. We had our travel agent do the initial set up for us.

Hi everyone, I am a newb and very overwhelmed with all this wedding planning!!! Just finalized our wedding date last week for January 30, 2014 at the Grand Bahia Principe in the Mayan Riviera. We finally have pricing for all of our guests to get to Mexico. It was tough with people coming from all ends of Canada. Travelling with Westjet Vacations from January 26-Feb2. Any other GBP 2014 brides out there? Would love to share some planning experiences.
