kef1274 - That's the same with my TA, I dont think they have any idea what's going on. I get more information reading this forum than anything else. But they last time the wedding coordinator got back to me, it sounded like we were definitely getting upgraded, and since your wedding date is before mine, I would think you would be in the same boat. But then again, who knows?!

 

I agree about the Cajun restaurant. I really dont want a wedding there. I was hoping they would move it somewhere else.

Also, just wanted to wish Danielle a Happy Wedding Day! I was thinking about her today and wishing her well!!! You girls make me smile when you get married!

Where is most going on. our guests will want alot going on, spend most of day at pool bar- where activity people... have to have recept at cajun rest- sick when i saw pic. didn't want in rest. Any pics of room you can rent before I call? sorry, i'm in a panic. I have to do new itinerary and programs

HI Gail, I just wrote a HUGE response to your ?s and it wouldn't post for some reason- ARGH!

In a nutshell, we stayed in Lindo BLDG 51 and it was RIGHT in front of the pool swim-up bar. The Las Olas bar is the other pool bar but not really where the 'party' is normally at.

We did our rehearsal at the SEAFOOD and I would rec this to any bride for the reception (I wish I had my reception there instead of Steakhouse). It has the same layout as the Steakhouse, so it has the 'private' area in the back.

Here is a site map: IBEROSTAR RESORTS & HOTELS PHOTO GALLERY - Map_Iberostar Playa Paraiso

Let me know if you want any pics of the restaurants or a Timeline Template. Email me at carollyn_e at hotmail dot com

Hope that helps! Hang in there- I PROMISE they WILL go out of their way for you when you get there!!!! (Everyone on the boards told me that and it was really true!)

One more thing about Seafood restaurant- Even if you don't like Seafood- the menu options for the large groups was: Salmon, Surf & Turf (at least ppl can eat the steak if they don't like lobster) and Fettucini Alfredo (veg option).

thanks for helping.

 

I was thinking of danielle yesterday too, hope all went well. maybe, she'll whip them in shape for us!!

Hi Trevess!

This is great info! So there is a private area? This is what we wanted...but we love the surf and turf option. So you would recommend that is the way to go?

That is awesome! I had no idea. I dont even think I looked at the other options since we were sold on the private room, but if the Seafood Rest is private, we will have to go with that!

Awesome!

Thanks!

Hi, I love reading all your responses & many times its answered questions with out myself asking.... but, on the subject of photographers do you have to book them well in advance or can you do it once there? any recommendations?

Does anybody have any idea if the price list that is sent out (by iberostar) an outside photographer or an employee just taking snaps?

 

Many thanks xx

Thanks! I LOVE my pictures and now totally understand when girls say that they become obsessed with looking at their pictures!

I was thinking of you when I was finishing typing up my review today. I know you've been waiting so patiently for it and I'm sorry that it's taken me so long! Let me know if there is anything I can do to help you out!
