Playa Fiesta Weddings

[Mel&B]

I also stayed at the RIU Pacifico for my honeymoon. I wanted to get away from town and just relax for a few days. We stayed for three nights, and I have to say that based upon our experience, I will never go back there or recommend it. Occupancy was low, so the RIU chain combined all three hotels into one! They moved every person from the Jalisco and Vallarta to the RIU. I've never stayed at an adults-only resort because I don't mind kids, but staying at the RIU made me wish I had booked an adults-only honeymoon. It seemed like there were millions of kids in the pool and millions of people in general. We couldn't get a dinner res., not even for one night, and it didn't matter that we were on our honeymoon. Blah, it was a mess! I think it can be a very nice hotel when they aren't combining all three hotels into one, but I won't be taking my chances again! If I could redo it, I'd stay at Casa Velas (budget willing) or one of the Dreams resorts for the same price as the RIU.

 

The good news is that we were still on our Playa Fiesta high, and we made the best of it! The rooms and the beach are lovely (thought I should add a couple of positives). We also went to Sayulita for a day.

Hi all PV brides

Thanks for all the posts, feedback, updates etc. Our wedding date is April 16, 2010 if someone wants to add that to the list.

 

I have to strongly reccomend going on your honeymonn up to Sayulita, its about 45 mins North of puerto vallarta. its the cutest little fisherman/surfer village. My best friend got married there 2 years ago, my fiance and i fell in love with the town. It was also the 1st vacation we went on together. We are going back there for a week after our wedding and i cant wait. the town has so much charm, fun vibe, amazing food, shopping, nice beaches etc. and you cant beat the prices there. check out the site Information for Sayulita Nayarit Mexico including vacation rentals, real estate, maps and restaurants for the village of Sayulita

 

So i have a few other questions for anyone to answer...has anyone used the videographer they offer? i've talked to 2 past brides that lindsey put me in touch with but i'd love to get more feedback. Is anyone doing a buffet dinner and making menus for it?

Hi!! I finally got a pic of my dress uploaded on here...sorry if its huge, I don't know how to fix that...please let me know if you do. So this is before all the alterations it is clipped in the back. I still have not gotten my dress back from alterations....she is promising by January. I'm gonna hold off on buying another until I get it back.

Crystal, that dress is amazing!!! You will look incredible!

 

Wieseelliott, congrats and welcome!

 

I am still in STD madness, I won't go into details but it has entailed going to Kinkos 5 times, having 8 conversations with the staff, sending the files over 3 times and resulted in a 30% discount (and lots of gray hair?). I'm pretty annoyed about the whole thing because I thought asking professionals to print & cut would make my life easier, but it has done the opposite and is costing a ridiculous amount of money. In the end they couldn't even cut anything - I should have done it myself! It should be done "soon" though, I'll post pictures!

Crystal, that dress is beautiful on you!!! It makes your shoulders and waist look amazing! I'm not sure what you are worried about, but it's very flattering!

[wieseelliott]

I tried to add my first name & fiance's to the date list but it wasnt letting me save it. So could someone please put Christa & Tyler as the 1st names for wieseelliott. Thank you

 

Crystal- your dress is beautiful on you. I too have been having 2nd thoughts of my dress. I've had to have friends who have seen it talk me off the ledge. so its totally normal the way your are feeling. I havent even taken mine in to get altered yet...have to do that right after christmas & NY...just in time to eat bad for the holidays then hope the dress fits lol
