ROYAL PLAYA DEL CARMEN BRIDES: were kids allowed for the day? ...and other questions

[astreit]

Just to make sure I'm not imagining things, are some of you having tres leches cakes? My WC sent me the cake options and it is not included. When I called and asked her if it was an option she said she didn't know what it was. I spelled it to her so she could write it down and ask, but she said she wasn't familiar with Mexico really and hadn't ever heard of it. I would really like tres leches if it is actually a possibility.

 

Thanks!

Has anyone used the resort photography? I'm just trying to figure out if it's worth the cost to bring in an outside photographer. Any insight would be great!

 

Thanks.

Glad to hear they offer tres leches. I couldn't believe it when she said she didn't know and hadn't even heard of it before. I studied abroad in Mexico for a semester in college and fell in love with tres leches, I would love to have it served at my wedding.

I was wondering about the resort photography as well. That is my only option, but I really would like to know how they are...

I am bringing outside photographer because the resort' photographer doesnt exactly do what i want but they are good.

 

::: Funever Photos :::

 

So my TA got back to me about availability at the Gran and The Royal. She said there are 7 junior suite rooms, 7 jr suite ocean view rooms, and 3 ocean front rooms are left at both resorts on my wedding weekend. I haven't even sent my invites out. FML.

 

Good thing most of people who were interested going are already booked. I hate trying to nudge rest of my bridesmaids to book already!! It's like pulling teeth.

If you happen to be on FB then post a message saying there are only 10 more rooms left. I did that and 5 people called and booked! I think people think that the rates will go down if they hold off, but that isn't always the case. I still have one BM that hasn't booked. It is driving me nuts! We now have 33 booked as of today! I can't imagine we are going to get many more. The invites still haven't gone out for us either. THis is all so frustrating! I thought a beach wedding would be relaxing...boy was I wrong
