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

[aerazo]

Does anyone know regarding the beach reception, does it Really have to end at 11PM on the dot? Does anyone know if they're flexible with this? or if you can pay a little bit for a little extra time?

Hi girls, I'm planning my wedding on Nov 27th, but am worried about room affordability and availability since it's a holiday week. Does anyone have any recent info or rates to give me an idea. I've been checking their site and other travel sites and see the low $300 range. Do they give better rates if you book in advance and several rooms? Also, how is the size of the beach in November? Thanks again!

Since that time I have sent numberous emails and have called there office and have left messages for my wedding coordinator Angie. On Monday at 10am she sent me an email saying she would call me Monday morning, but I still haven't heard from here. Everytime I call they say she is on the other line and they take my message. I am getting so frustrated! I just have a couple quick questions that I want answered before making my final payment. I am just worried that something will happen and my wedding will not be confirmed since I haven't made my final payment. My wedding is only 24 days away! I really just want to be put in contact with the WC from the Royal so I can make sure everything is set.

Not sure if you read but right now they are overwhelmed with people quitting so that's probably why you haven't heard back. The WC at the Royal is supposed to get in touch with you two weeks before the wedding. I know how stressful it is. I would be stressed too. Hang in there.

Send more questions you'd like answered, I'll def ask what the heck is going on with their WC "corporate" offices and see if there are alternative points of contact, like people that won't quit.. Lisa

Could you ask to see how big a standard bridesmaid bouquet is? Also, will they offer smaller bouquets like two stems of flowers? I think that is all i have for now! Thanks so much.

I don't think we can choose our WC...they assign one to you randomly.

That is what Kimberly told me. It ends at 11pm at the beach.

Does anyone know if Angie is still working there?? My wedding is on Feb. 5th, and am also trying to get some last minute questions answered and various things reserved!!! It's impossible to get a confirmation from her.

 

Thanks!

Hi Aerazo, unfortunetly they are not flexible on this. They have to end by 11pm. It is a policy because of the other guests there I found this out from another bride who got married at the royal and tried to have it extended but no luck.

I believe that Angie still works there. I am getting married the day after you and she is my wc also! I have been trying to contact her for about a month to get everything finalized before making the final payment. Today when I called they said that she was in a meeting training people. I asked some of my questions to Suzanna who answered the phone. She was helpful on some of the questions. I faxed my final payment today and am hoping they will put me in contact with my wc at The Royal. Have you been in contact with someone from The Royal yet?

Hi My wedding is shortly before yours and I have started researching rates as well. I don't have too much to offer you but I do know that the room rates can change pretty often. Having said that, I'm not exactly sure how much they will fluctuate or lower. My guess is that they won't lower significantly - after all the resort is 5 star and all-inclusive. But that's just my hunch...I don't plan on booking through the hotel, it's MUCH cheaper to go through a website where you can get package deals (if not going through a travel agent). You can almost get a package for the price of just the room, through the resort. I do know that November isn't considered their high season, though...

What is the best location for the reception among the beach, the terrace, and the gazebo. Thanks!

Hi Trinas, how many of your guests have booked so far? None of ours have they have all just started to contact our travel agent this week.

I think it is a matter of opinion. Our friends got married on the beach and had their reception at Pelicanos because their beach reception got rained out. We are getting married at the gazebo, but having a beach reception.
