What menu did you choose? A plated I assume? I think your review only mentioned it being cold? haha...

Trying to decide between plated and buffet. I like the plated pricing much better!

THanks!

I love Dreams Tulum but their pricing for a reception was not conducive for bigger partys, which was why we chose AS...Dreams had per person rates for a private reception around 80-90 buxs, Azul was only 14 pp...

You guys are saying that the 20% they're offering you is off of the website prices. What are the TAs quoting your guests? I'm curious to see what kind of discounts you're getting -- we're expecting 150 people or so; so I'm wondering how much Azul Sensatori's willing to negotiate with us!

 

Also, it sounds like for 150 people, the only options we're going to have for ceremony, cocktail, & reception sites will be the beach or ballroom; is that right? Or are there other places in the resort that you think we could do a cocktail hour at?

 

Thanks again -- great help!

I have a flyer from there with a current promo, but I am not sure what date your wedding is?  AZS is way down at the bottom.  However, it is not 20% off website, but 20% of rack room ("standard") rates, so what your TA gets you should be cheaper.

Hey ladies.............ah I carnt decide whether or not to pay the extra for 'private dinner' or just go with the free one and spend the money paying for everyone to do a trip..........anyone who has already got married in AS have any recommendations?? is the food any different that will be served in the spoons restaurant compared to private meal??? oh what to do, what to dooooo....

[karlaandmark]

We're going with the Spoons dinner.  We figured everyone is already paying for the all-inclusive, so we didn't want to pay extra for a private reception.  Still haven't decided on some sort of cocktail reception or something like that for when everyone arrives...

Hmm, was just checking out the restaurant menus. ... I don't see any sushi.  Is there no where for sushi at the resort?  I see it on the private dinner menu but not at a restaurant.

ARe you positive you will have 150 ppl ? we sent out over 300 invitations and had 80 put down deposits and ended up with 60 ppl going...There aren't very many options for parties that large so if you are absolutely positive you're going to have that many ppl, then I believe its just the beach and the ballroom...if you're not sure than I wouldn't worry myself about location until you're pretty positive about the size of your group..I only say this b/c I stressed about this as well in the beginning, worrying we would have over a hundred ppl and I wouldn't get the sky deck...everything worked out in the end =)

We chose the chicken and fish (mahi mahi) menu option. I think it was $18 pp.  Everyone enjoyed it and it was plenty of food. We also figured if anyone was still hungry they could go somewhere else ..its all inclusive...we were trying to stick to our budget.
