We have always booked with either Expedia or Orbiz as they usually give a great discount for booking hotel and airfare together. If you are in the US, you may be able to negotiate a room rate with Barcelo and hold a block of rooms. It may be easier to get a travel agent to negotiate with them for that. We are going to be booking our next trip for April 2011 and have been watching rates on both Expedia and Orbiz. Orbiz has had the better discount. FYI, if you have an Entertainment book, Expedia has a coupon in there. :)

I need to book asap to confirm my wedding date but don't know if I should go straight to the hotel and book a flight separate or if I should book a package deal

Any help you can give would be great! Thanks girls :-)

I am extremely frustrated because I need to order invitations for my January 7, 2011 wedding ASAP and Barcelo is making it very hard for me to get the necessary information together to get this done.

 

 

There are 3 beach locations for receptions. One is called Coral Beach and it is in front of the Palace. There are palm trees there that they wrap in white lights. The 2nd is Palmeras Beach which is in front of the Colonial/Tropical. It is fairly open and it's in between lounge chairs, but good for large groups. The 3rd is Playa Azul which is at the far end of the resort in front of the Barcelo Maya Beach. There is an area covered with a thatched roof right on the beach and they set up your reception under that. I think I might have a few pictures, if you want me to email them to you just pm me your email address.

We chose Playa Azul for our beach reception....can't wait!
