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

[tamcalvano]

Hi Everyone,

I'm getting married at the Royal in May 2014! Thanks everyone for posting so many reviews.  I find them so helpful.  We booked the luxury package that comes with the photographer, but I see so many people on here leave negative comments about the resort photographer.  Can anyone offer feedback as to why they might not be a good option?  

 

Also, is anyone helping to pay for certain family members to come?  I want to help my mom and one sister who don't have a lot of money, but not sure what the proper etiquette is for this.  And I don't want to feel resentful towards them for paying so much money.  Thank!

I didn't want to chance the resort photographer - but didn't do my own research so that really isn't fair! I did help 2 of our guests make the trip. If you can afford it--and it's really important to you that those persons be there I don't see anything wrong with monetary help. I just wouldn't expect the money back. I considered it a gift. I have no regrets for helping people out.

I have posted my planning thread and review here. Everything is fresh in my memory so if you have questions or need help don't hesitate to let me know I am here for you!

I just have to say that I am shocked at how much the resort is asking for flower centerpieces! $265 per centerpiece!! Outrageous! Here in St. Louis you would pay $80 max. Grr.

I'm looking into him. I wonder if there is a way to avoid the outside vendor fee but still have flowers in long vases. I think Marvin would want these returned.
