Thanks for all the replies - looks like a fabulous resort but I have alot of unanswered questions. What kind of wedding celebrations are available? The private beach party sounds great but has to have a minimum of 40 people. Don't really want to book a room for a regular reception. Does anyone find the available extras particularly expensive? Thanks.

I have a list of all of the available extras, and yes, they do seem expensive!! I am really trying to find out info regarding the receptions they offer. I am in the same boat as you Sara, I don't want to have the beach party..or a regular room..

Love your picture....you two look like the perfect couple. Hope your plans are going well. I found the stuff included in the Serenity package were mostly fluff with some things included with the all-inclusive anyway. The massages are not necessary....would rather have more pictures included or something and paid extra for massages if I wanted them. $500. for a video? Also, can't find anything on what kind of cake in supplied. I can't get info on receptions either as they all seem to just offer the dinner and leave it at that. What about the first dance, brides dance with her dad, speeches, etc. if you want? I like the idea of the beach party but again, does it have to be the full-out dinner thing or can they offer just a party at part of the price? I really think if you have over 10, a wedding package should be free, then you could add on the extras you want. After all, we're bringing a large group to the resort with all their business. Keep in touch...good luck.

I know for cakes, you can pick from Tropical Fruits, Chocolate, Strawberry or Vanilla. We are getting Tropical Fruits! I emailed the WC regarding the reception info; however, I know that she only works during the day and is really busy with the current weddings. So far she has been pretty flexible with getting us an English speaking minister and such. In the end, everything will work out! I haven't really been worrying about it too much as my TA said as a general rule, to have direct contact with the WC three months prior to the wedding. Being a new resort, I am sure she is swamped getting organized!
