The new Dreams Tulum thread! (Post all DT Qs&As here)

[suntansam]

hi there- still one of those girls tyring to lock down my final choice of resort and highly highly considering DT!! trying to get all the details i can esp regarding cost.

 

Can someone clarify something for me.... lets say i get the biggest package available.... do i still owe 750 for a private reception

 

I really want to do a private reception on the beach but i really wasnt clear on if i need to pay this fee above because im trying to add everything up as far as sound system, dance floor etc, and were expecting 50+ people so its all gonna add up fast!!!

We are doing a salmon in puff pastry for our non-meat eaters and they did not charge us an extra fee for this.

If you book either the Ultimate or Dreams of Love package, you can have your reception on the beach for free (no 750$ fee) but if you want to have it in the El Patio or Seaside Grill restaurants you would have to pay the fee (but for those restauratns it's subject to the resort not being at full capacity, which you only find out I think 1 month before).

Because the package only includes dinner for 20 guests, you will have to pay a fee for each guest over 20. The fee you pay depends on the menu you choose, your options are:

20$ - regular restaurant menu
55$ - silver dinner menu
65$ - gold dinner menu

The only way you can have a group over 20 people without paying an extra fee at all is to eat at the buffet restaurant. They could put you in the section that is slightly off to the side (not closed off at all, but over to the side so that you are not right in the middle with the other guests).

[SunBride]

BC Bride2be - I will add you to the bride list in the next round of updates.

 

For all the new brides - you don't need to copy and paste the whole list, just put your username and date here and I will add it to the list.

 

Because I can't edit the posts on page 1 anymore (the forum settings changed a couple months ago) I am getting a moderator to make the changes once a week. Carly (moderator) just made a list of changes for me from last week (updated bride list, updated info about deposits under #11 of the unofficial wedding guide, short blurb about the closure in the last post for future brides who come here and are confused about what happened).

 

So just post any updates you have here and I am keeping the info in a word document and submitting it to a moderator every week for updates. If you don't see your update posted within 2 weeks then send me a PM to make sure i didn't miss it.

[neen]

so we are having our legal ceremony in VA before we leave for our wedding and reception in Mexico. we'd been planning to just do the courthouse thing, but since DI is Jewish I decided to look into "renting a rabbi" to do an interfaith ceremony and a kattubah signing. Well, I found a site "rabbirentals.com" and checked it out and its $652 just for the ceremony!!! Holy crap! Way more than $50 for a reg JOP, so we're just going to do the JOP thing at the courthouse after all! Just had to post cause I was so shocked by the price

 

anyone else in a similar situation?

[amy706]

$650 bucks! That's crazy, Neen! I dont blame you for going JOP on that one!

 

Random question- does anybody know if the town of Tulum has a liquor store to buy tequila, nice champagne? Or any place within cab distance from DT? My transportation company wont make a stop on the way to DT unless I switch companies which i dont want to do because the first transport co is included. Also- coming IN to mexico, can you buy duty free and take it and drink it in Mex? i can only really picturing it coming back in to the US. Anyone know? THANKS!

[niels408]

Quick question:

 

Ladies who booked rooms at DT (group booking) & used Apple Vacations....

 

What were you credited once you had your final bookings confirmed. i mean like, for 20 rooms booked, you & your FI are credited a amount toward your stay? We've booked 30 rooms at DT & our TA just finally came back with what we'll be credited & she is now saying it is only for 1 guest, so were credited $654.00. That's it I don't mean to be rude, but I was thinking it would be more for booking 30 rooms & I guess I need to go back through our original paperwork to see if it matches up to what we were told. They had made it seem like if we booked 25+ rooms that my FI & I's room would basically be covered due to the COMP we would recieve?

 

Am i just brain-dead today or is the similar to what you girls are recieving?

 

Thanks!

I'm not sure about a liquor store in Tulum. Since many of the brides don't venture into town (and there are very few married ladies on this thread to begin with) you should post your question in Trip Advisor's tulum area forum. There are a few locals there as well as many Tulum diehards so I'm sure somebody will answer your question.

There are a few gift shops at the resort and I'm 90% sure they sell liquor, but probably not a huge selection and probably no fancy champagne.

Not sure about the duty free thing. Obviously the intention is for people to buy it as they fly out and not as they arrive but maybe you'd be able to. I think usually those stores are past the security checkpoint though so that you can only shop there as you are waiting for your flight to depart.
