Hi Saza - yes, you can use a CC for the deposit.

Cecilia will send you a CC authorization form for the $500 deposit along with your contract.

 

Remember, that the contract she sends is only preliminary based on the package you choose. Any upgrades you make you can ask her to send a revised one - it's a basic work in progress

Does anyone have information on the photographer that the resort offers with the ultimate package? Does everyone hire their own or do some use onsite one?

The resort uses Juan Navarro Photographer
I have booked Sascha Gluk. His website is Destination Wedding Photographer for Cancun and Riviera Maya and the rest of the World

As arizona said - Juan Navarro is the one that is included and that the package prices are based off of. I met with his team when I was down there on my site visit a few weeks ago. They were OK but it depends on how important photography is to you. Their "wedding album" is a run of the mill photo album you can buy at your local Target with sleeves of 4x6 pictures.
The package also offers Adventure photos - which is the photography company based in the main building of the hotel - their album is much better but I realized it's the same Iphoto photo book you can make on your Macbook at home.

So, if you pay for the Ultimate Pkg (which comes with some photography), do you just opt out and hire your own?

We hired our own photographer Dino Gomez, but will also have the photographer that is included in the Ultimate Wedding Package, since that is the package we went with.

Yes, you can let Cecilia know you will not be needing that portion of the package. Also remember when you have someone come in from the outside, the resort charges an outside vendor fee if they are not a guest of the hotel.

For example - Elizabeth Medina lives 4 hours away and asks for a room for the night in addition to her fee. You would not be charged the outside vendor fee for this since she will staying at the hotel.

But, there are other photographers in the area that will not need to stay at the hotel and you will then only pay the additional $90 fee for them to come to the resort that day/night.

Thanks for the info. One more thing for the list of questions to ask when she does the site visit.

Hey everyone I am getting married at Secrets Maroma Beach and I had a few questions. I def. a newbie on this site and still trying to figure it all out.

 

I will be getting married on July 16, 2010 and was wondering what brides suggest for the reception hall, the ballroom or the gazebo terrace? what are the pros and cons?

 

I will not be able to view the place until my wedding so I am a little nervous any advice would be much appreciated!
