Gran Bahia Principe Akumal/Tulum/Coba - POST HERE!

[sarah00]

Thank you Swankster!! Yay!! I feel much better about that =) I just hope everything else goes ok....like my fiancee not boiling in his suit or my other guests....I've been looking at some Haciendas in Merida, wish i had chosen that!!

Ok. No worries at all. I understand you completely. They should tell you how does it work from the begining. And the reason I still didn't answer is because I don't know exactly how this forum works. Wen I tried to post my wedding date (November 30th) An error message popped up saying something like my posts are being held because i'm new at the forum. 

I was very concerned and stressed out before too about the resort photography, specially 'cause I saw some bad examples too at the begining. I was just trying to calm down all brides about this isssue right after I saw their recent job because I understand we (all brides) don't want our best day memories turn bad. What I was told and now I confirm following Sarah's post is that they have new photographers and thanks god they're professional. So we should stop getting panic.

Sorry if I went in a bad way into you. I'm not criticizing you because you have a problem with them. I just feel that we all are now tranquil abut this important matter and your posts keep making us nervous again. That's all. 

 

By the way, thank you for the Dj e-mail info. And hope you can solve the matter with GBP. Cheers.

I am simply upset that GBP sent me a document that stated Arrecife's services are optional, then less than 3 months to my wedding; I find out that I must use them.  I feel that GBP should let me know about this policy when I booked in January 2010.  Not only would this be professional, but is common courtesy.  This is the most important day of our lives and considering all the negative feedback that Arrecife has received in numerous forums, I think my concerns are warranted.  Being a soon-to-be bride yourself, why would you dismiss another bride’s concern?

 

Sarah, I have pics of the beach if you need and gaby@rivieramaya,  DJ Bob’s email is [email protected].  I wish you all the best.

Hi Scottish Lass,

 

I have pics of the beach wedding site.  Send me your email and I'll be happy to send it your way.

Swankster,

 

Thanks for the advice.  I won't order appetizers for the cocktail party and save my $$!

what about OTHER outside vendors, like makup and DJ's....   Will we be allowed to outsource them still??

 

I'm hoping to do the Akumal Beach, I really love the look of the gazebo, but the reason I always wanted a DW was to get married with the sand between my toes, and be part of the elements and nature around me!

Truth be told, I don't want to stay on the Tulum side, and FH is adament that Coba is WAY too far from the beach for him, though for me the Coba section is where I'd really like to stay!!

 

How many ceremony sites are there at the GBP, all I know of is Tulums Gazebo, and Akumals Chuppa on the beach...  IS there more??

Our vacation package from Canada is only for the Tulum or Coba resort, so which one would you recommend staying at? I'm so happy that I can still get married at the Akumal beach location, despite not staying there.

Do you have your dinner and reception at the same place as your wedding or do you have them where you are staying? Just curious. I thought I read somewhere that you had to have your dinner and reception where you were staying.

Thanks!

Hi Abbie32,

I'll be at the restort at the same time as you! I am getting married on April 1, 2011, but will be at the resort until the 8th. When do you arrive there? Were getting married at the Akumal Hammock location too, and then a poolside dinner & reception at Akumal were we are staying.

 

[Scottish Lass]

Thank you - that would be great.
