Newbie looking for a location

[PB&J]

We are Joe and Patti

we are getting married in the end of May 2009

We are still looking for that perfect location.

 

I was recommended this site by several people and I come here looking for help. We need to find that perfect spot for us. We have narrowed it down to:

1. Cabo

2. Riveria Maya

3. Punta Cana

4. Bahamas

 

we want to get married on a beach at an AI. We have around 30 guest traveling with us from age 4-70. We need help

I'd go with Cabo or Bahamas. I'm partial to Bahamas and if I could have afforded it I would be getting married there too. Remember Mexico requires blood tests - definately a deterrant

Hi Joe and Patti,

 

Congrats and welcome!

 

Tough choice, but I would say either Punta Cana or the Bahamas.

deja vu! you sound exactly like how i was a few weeks ago. i was also looking for the same criteria as you.

my recommendations are #1 or 2. reasons for #1 - plenty of all inclusives in the area and a lot of them accept kids. the beach is amazing (although not always swimmable). el arco is the perfect backdrop for photos.

#2 - great all inclusives and chain resorts for families. close to nightlife (cancun) for guests staying longer. great excursions (isla mujeres, tulum, etc)

reasons for NOT #3 - we just came from there and hardly anyone speaks much english. the country isnt too pleasing outside the resort and there's no shopping/nightlife/culture activities. the main thing going for punta cana is their PERFECT beach w/ palm tree lined shores and their expansive selection of all inclusive resorts

No on #4 - hardly any all inclusives. if AI resorts are what you're looking for, you wont find them in bahamas.

hope this helps! i considered all places you listed with teh same criteria you were looking for =) i ended up going with Moon Palace Cancun.
