Dreams Cancun - Questions for those married here!

[toriOary]

Thanks PhillyBride, I believe you need a certain category of room, we just booked a standard room so even though we are staying 9 nights I dont think we get it - bummer But probably TA Jill can confirm this for us.

 

We are having our reception at the Garden, Jason my other half does not like sand in his feet and we have a little 7 year old that also has the same dislike to sand in their shoes / toes so the garden should still give us a good view without the headache of these moaning

 

Good luck all -

Tori

Hey girls,

 

Feels like I haven't been on here forever, however I do look at the emails I get to my phone although they don't always include every new post I've realized many brides are doing the reception at the Himitsu Beach -- I told Claudia "beach" for reception and never specified which one b/c from pics it always seemed like the one by the Tower. Can anyone tell me the difference and why everyone prefers the Himitsu Beach?

I originally thought about Himitsu beach because the wind factor is less, the sunset happens there, and now that the other beach got re-done, I think it's way huge and probably not as intimate (all stipulation based off facebook pics). The cons to H-beach are that the restaurant is right there and hence a lot of observers. On a positive note, Cecilia mentioned that a reception at the new beach could probably go on till midnight (opposed to 11pm everywhere else).

There are two honeymoon options, one is the basic honeymoon package, that you can request when you book, and then there is the eternity honeymoon package which includes a lot more and is supposed to be available if you book a honeymoon suite or higher for 7 nights OR if you have 5 or more rooms booked for 3 nights or more. However, I noticed on their website it is listed differently, so they may have changed that and my suppliers site may not be updated.

Himitsu beach is the beach over on the side of the resort near the lighthouse and where the sunsets. It's a smaller beach which I think is nice if you have a small amount of guests. I think the tower beach is so large that if you only have a few tables, they might get lost out there

Hope that helps!

Carolina, we are doing sparklers too, but for our first dance at sunset. It will be too light at the ceremony.

Happy April Fools Day Everyone! Don't let anyone tell you that Dreams Cancun is shutting down... or worse, that BDW is closing shop! That would be a horrible prank!
