I know that they have a lot going on and am not expecting super fast replies, but it is making me a little nervous.

 

But anyway, I was asking if they could send me all the restaurant options we have for the dinner and the pool side reception options/costs. Maybe one of you could help me with that and email this information to me if you have it. (We are staying at the Akumal and getting married at the Hammock location on March 31, 2012). My email is [email protected] and any information you could share would be fantastic!

 

Thanks!

I am pretty sure if you are staying at the Akumal side, you have to have your dinner at one of their restaurants.  These are the three that they have on that side.   

Restaurant Arlequín (Gourmet)                                                           80 PAX

Restaurant Dolce Vita (italian)                                                               100 PAX

Restaurant Frutos del Mar (fisherie)                                                        100 PAX

 

I don't have menus for them, but I heard many good things from some of the girls on here about the Gourmet and Italian.

 

The poolside reception:

D.J is $210.00 per hour

Drink options are as follows:

 

 

Open Bar / extra charge

National Bar -  17 USD per person/hour, 12 USD add. hour:  

Beer, Rum, Vodka, Tequila, Cocktails, Gin, Whisky                      

                                  

 

International Bar – 24 USD per person/hour, 18 USD add. hour:  

Beer, Tequila, Rum, Vodka Absolute, Whisky JW,

Chivas Regal, Cutty Sark, Cocktails, Gin Beefeater,

wine of the house, sparkling wine                                    

                

 

Special Cocktails – 5 USD per person/ hour,  3 usd ad. hour:

Beer, Piña Colada Cocktail, Margarita Cocktail & Sparkling Wine

 

 

Hope this helps !

Hi stylishmeNC,

 

I sent you the menus of the restaurants options I received from Eugenia : Dolce Vita and Frutos del Mar.

Idem for the theme dinners or private meals.

We just confirmed and sent in our deposit for the GBP Tulum, departure May 19th, 2012!

 

I requested a May 22nd Wedding Date, but they only have 2pm available.....thoughts, is that too early?

 

Anyways, I couldn't be more excited! But if anyone out there has any advice to pass along in what to ask, and how to get things started I'd be so very grateful!

I'm booked for Nov 2012 - and they said 2pm also - my TA (who also got married at Tulum) said thats just the standard time they put in - and it can be changed later...
but if you WC told you thats all they have maybe its true. As your wedding is a lot closer than mine.
I would double check directly with them. Ask if you can change it till 3 or 3:30 - thats what i'll do a bit closer to the date.

I had my time set for 3;30 which I thought was too early and was able to change it to 4:00.  I havent been asked for a deposit for my Feb 2011 wedding....should I be worried?

I was not asked for a desposit either, they just asked for my booking number to confirm it so i would not worry.

Awesome aquamanic!  I am booked for a May 26th ceremony, but I will be arriving at the resort on May 21st.  I reserved my wedding day back in May, luckily I was the first person to do so.  Jazmin is my wedding coordinator and she has been GREAT so far and has answered my emails within 24 to 48 hrs....but there have been some days where she has answered several emails within a couple of hours.

I would just be as detailed when you do ask questions and when the answer that is given doesn't make sense ask again! LOL  Basically from reading this thread I came up with a bunch of questions to ask and she did a good job in answering them.

The deposit isn't for the wedding ceremony, but for the trip itself with my Travel Agent. Our deposit hold 30 seats/rooms at the quoted price for 90 days so that our guest can start booking their trips!
