I just dont want this to happen to anyone else!!!! I found I got no where writing them but as soon as my Travel Agent wrote and called them she got thru no problem..

Sorry I'm slightly confused. We were unable to book anything through the Riu for the 2009 year until this February. How were they able to book in Sepetember? Also, I know that once people booked for their time on the website - even before it was completley confirmed - that time slot was taken off on the website. Thats how we could tell how fast Jan 09 was filling up?

Has anyone else had this problem as well? I really don't want to bug them again about booking stuff as I was a bit of a pain in my original reservation process.

Also - when I asked them how long to confirm before someone could take our spot. They said we would have ~3 months... but they would contact us before we lost it. (Not sure if I trust that... but?)

All I know is, if I've got my confirmation email/voucher that must be presented to Chandlyn at the resort, then that is the day/time I'm getting married.

I was really confused too about the couple booking in September too- I have no idea how they were ablet to do it. I just know that it was double booked and it bugged me A LOT!!!! I was told 3 months too, but I was not told that I would get a call before we lost it. I dont know if I trust that, especially how they seem to tell some people but not others.

Ok Chicklet, thanks for this info.
