Yes, November is a very cheap time to travel, I think pretty much the cheapest of the year, well maybe Sept & Oct are cheapest due to hurricane risk. Although some people think summer is the slowes (because who wants to go somewhere hot when it's hot back home) there are still lots of people who take advantage of school vacation to go then, so summer isn't super busy but not super slow either. Fall however is very slow and then things pick up mid december.

For the ladies who have used the resort videographer - were you happy with it and is it worth it? I'm debating whether or not to do it or just make a slide show out of the photos?

I just wanted to throw out a suggestion to those of you having a small wedding with under 20 guests...the seaside grill is obviously great (I'm having my reception there too), as are all the other restuarants, but when I was there last weekend I also saw a wedding reception dinner done in the massage hut on the beach for 16 people. It was beautiful and private and right on the beach...here is a pic. I don't know if it would cost more, but I'd imagine not much

 

 

This is just beyond the "quiet pool" nearer the water activities hut

and I know I owe you all my list of Q&A and I promise I'll get that this weekend. a couple of things Landy still needs to find out about are the cost of fire dancers and lounge furniture (I know a lot of us are waiting eagerly for those costs...hopefully she'll let me know soon)
