No -- not me! :-)
I didn't bring any starfish with me... though maybe you are thinking of Jody...?
I think she brought starfish with her...
And if I recall, I think starfish are considered live animals or something like that, so you're not supposed to bring them through customs...
But maybe try searching "starfish" and see what threads come up... I'm sure this must have been discussed at some point!:-)

Good luck!

Hi Simistar. I know its been some time since your review, but I just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to write it. I'm having a DW @ SMB in April, 2010. I've already read your review like 5 times!!! LOL It really has helped me soooo much. I deff got a little freaked out about some things (the geat hair debacle, LOL) but really got a good idea of what I need to watch out for and what to expect. Thanks again!!!

Great to know it's helping someone:-)

A heads up though -- there have been a few things that have changed since I got married at SMB I think...
For example, they now charge extra for the bonfire (used just be you paid for food per person, $25... now I think the government makes them charge $200...)

Also, I think Cecilia has an assistant now! FINALLY! So that should be really helpful and makes things run a bit more smoothly...

I still haven't heard GREAT things about their salon, so you should maybe still be prepared to do your hair yourself OR bring someone in...
(there's a thread in the RM vendors section about a make-up and hair near Playa Del Carmen and someone posted the website and name of a woman who will come to your resort... the hair and make-up on her website looks REALLY nice! I definitely wish I had gone this route, lol:-))

Honestly, if there's anything else I can help with, if you have any questions, ask away! :-)

Congrats on your upcoming wedding BTW

Thank you so much for you post! You looked beautiful and even a year later your post is helping brides like me decide where to have it.
