This sounds like another good (free) idea aimee Yes, I made the reservations for the day of our arrival through the WC... I just sent her an email and asked if she could make them for us, and it's not a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also want to do the bonfire... Still havent decided on a photographer I love Juan but hes not available... Trying to find a rental company for either white folding chairs or Chivari style chairs as I dislike chair covers so much! Any help would be appreciated! I am looking forward to Sarahs big day and her pictures in the upcoming weeks.... thanks aj In the beginning, getting ahold of her is very frustrating... Did you complete the reservation form and everything online You should be fine if you have done that. Also, you won't hear much from her until you get a little closer to your date. Again, very frustrating, but that seems to be the way that they work. I would just keep emailing & things ~ she will get back to you.

ajncooter Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 thanks I will... I dont want to bug her but I do want a verbal confirmation before my 60 guests confirm their 7 day stay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aimee Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Hi Riu Brides! I was wondering if anyone is using the hotel salon/spa for their make-up and hair or are you using an outside vendor? Have you heard any feed back about the hotel the hotel salon? Aimee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRISTEN Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 I have personally stayed at the resort for vacation & our surprise engagement last year. I went to the salon for a couples massage and a manicure & pedicure. The massage was absolutely wonderful but the manicure & pedicure was okay. I saw a couple of brides get their hair done for weddings and it looked very nice but I am not sure about make up. Can't wait to here about some other experiences......

ajncooter Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 thats great info on the spa thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAENJAY Posted May 19, 2007 Author Share Posted May 19, 2007 I am having them do my hair and if needed redo my manicure. I will do my own makeup. I do know that it is suggested you make your appointments ahead of time, the spa gets busy ~ or so I'm being told. Now, have I made my appointment yet? No, but it's on the list. Plus, I'm not stressing becuase if I have to, Jay's mom is a stylist, and I'll make her do my hair. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KACENGG Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 I have talked to one other bride about the salon and they are great with the hair but the makeup isn't so great. She had a friend do hers. I think I am going to book my hair appointment and maybe a trial there and figure out the makeup later. Maybe when we finally get a review from Sarah we will know for sure. I cannot wait to hear from her - anyone know when she gets back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAENJAY Posted May 25, 2007 Author Share Posted May 25, 2007 I believe that she gets back on Saturday, so hopefully she'll post on Sunday or Monday her review, I can't wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
