OMG, Tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so excited for you. Hope the weather is great for the whole week for you guys!!!!
I'll be thinking about you on your wedding day, and be very excited to hear back from you.

I agree I originally wanted the first week of April for our wedding, but then I heard hardly anything is open that week and no weddings.
The second week of April (when we were there) it was busy but not overly crowed, It was perfect (always found a loung chair, and never had to wait in line for the restaurants minus 2 times)

Courtney, I liked the the bathtub in the bathroom your right it gave much more space in the bedroom plus you got a little sitting area.
Some of our guest had them in the room, others had in it the bathroom (the room in the bathroom is bigger then if you got one in the room)

I'm trying to get this review up by tonight!!
It's long lol cause it's a review of the entire resort (Punta Cana side and the ROyal) plus it's a wedding review... lost of pics!

Caribbeanlover...can't wait to read your review!

More importantly, best of luck with your surgery and a speedy recovery!

Agreeed!!! The review can wait! One month for me!!!! so excited...

 

I just wanted to thank all the brides who were married -- I thought this thread would be DEAD after your weddings, and I really appreciate (as I'm sure the others do as well) you coming and checking/giving us answers!! I don't know what I would do without you all! It's so nice to hear stories, and have an idea of what to expect!!

 

Just wanted to thank you!

I had the room in the Punta Cana section with the jacuzzi in the room, and I actually liked it better than the other rooms, since it meant we had a normal shower. I think too though I was just really happy with where our room was. We were in block 4 with the room closest to the beach overlooking the gazebo where we got married.

Thanks! Carolina is officially gone - lol I emailed asking a bunch of questions and her assistant Kenia (?) replied! I am sure she will be fine - but I hope Carolina is back for my Wedding!

[caribbeanLover]

Carolina had to go in for wrist surgery, she'll need at least a month or so off.

 

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh 1 month 3 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sooo exciting!

 

Sorry I've been MIA, been a little busy, and today it's 38C, I have no pool!!!

But I'll be back a little later to catch up... almost done my review lol (almost!!)

[sungoddess_08]

Oh no!! so you don't think she'll be back?/ Bahhhh!!! Kenia seems okay -- but we had a run in a few months ago, she wasn't answering ANY of my questions when she would write back, so I told her I wanted to deal with Carolina again! I wasn't snippy -- but I was definately frustrated and I'm sure she could tell!!

 

YES !! 1 month 3 days!! woot... but we leave sooner than that!

 

I need a pool too!! It's 30 here too!! omg!

[caribbeanLover]

I'm not sure!! I'm crossing my fingers for you she IS back, I know I wouldn't have wanted to deal with anyone other then Carolina. But I did see the assistant doing a wedding one of the days I was there, and the couple looked happy! So I'm sure if she isn't back she'll get the job done!

 

when do you leave?

 

Ohhh I know sooo hot!!! Not complain.. just wish I had an ocean to jump in lol!!!

[sungoddess_08]

We leave on the 22 (Tuesday) with everyone -- the Wedding is on the 28th - and then everyone leaves on the 29th!! We are going to Dreams for our honeymoon!! So we come back the 6th!

 

I am sure she is fine -- she just doesn't answer my questions! lol

[caribbeanLover]

Amazing!!

Which dreams, the Palm beach or Punta Cana one?

You'll hav to let me know how that one is, since we're planning (yes already!!) our trip for next year for our anniversary (if the oil spill doesn't kill the ocean by then)

I'd love to know if I should consider going somewhere else this time around (altho it'll be hard to beat the Royal section!!)

 

Picking a resort for me was mostly based on how quickly I got replys back from the WC and wether or not I'd get more confused when I get a reply back (I had this experince when I originally planned it in Jamaica, I'd send an email, get a reply that'd make me more confuse then when I first ask the question)

But it the mean time we're here for any questions. Once you get there you'll get all the info and what/how it'll all go down!
