RIU Negril or RIU Tropical Palace???

[torywedd]

i just got my rates back from our travel agent, and it does seem to be about a $200-250/per person dollar difference between the Riu Negril and RTB, im going to see if my travel agent can negotiate some cheaper rates, i really hope so!!!!....we have a lot of decisions to make, i have to take into consideration that my FI and i can pay the difference in cost, but that our guests may not be able to :/ ....... but, it is my wedding and i will only be doing this once, and i reallllllly like the RTB.....what to do

I had a very different experience getting info on RPTB- we're coming from Vancouver, BC, Canada and had a hell of a time getting direct flights/packages from Vanc. to Jamaica for May 2010. At the end of the day, price wasn't a factor anymore b/c there were only a few options for us to choose from, just based on flight availability alone! We decided to go with Signature Vacations and the only package they were offering for May 2010 was for RPTB so that decision was easy for us to make! It was either that, or just suck it up and do Mexico instead (super easy to get to mexico from Vancouver any time of the year), but we had our hearts set on Jamaica!
