Any Gran Bahia Principe Runaway Bay Brides out there?

I was leaning towards the Italian restaurant as I thought they would have something to please everyone, plus all the reviews on Trip Advisor etc says its awesome. My TA also said that it is very close to the water. However, when I saw the pics I thought the grill was sooo much nicers.

 

Does anyone have the dinner choices yet for the restaurants...if not I might email Beverly so we can all compare.

 

Also Tris - you already told Beverly where you want to eat? I emailed her and she said I could only book 2 weeks in advance. Also, we havent given her any money yet...now I am starting to freak out that I am not booked! lol.

Katelynn - We haven't told her where we want to eat... but we are having a hard time getting a hold of her. We actually called her to confirm that she got our deposit. If you have your trip booked already, PAY HER. Seriously, call her and tell her you want to pay your deposit. I'd hate for someone to end up in the same situation we are... it really sucks. We can't have the gazebo after for a reception because "the other couple has it".

From my experience the grill is nicer than the italian. Yeah the italian is near to the sea but unless you have a seat near the window you wont see it.

 

If you can get it, Don Pablo is lovely, i would of loved to have my wedding dinner in there. Japenese is quite nice too.

We haven't put down our deposit yet either and now I'm worried. I emailed Beverly awhile ago asking when it was due and I haven't heard back yet. Yikes, better email her again.

Katelyn,

Quick question which restaurant is grill and the italian?? Can't really tell from the photos

Thanks

[katelynn]

Yeah I emailed her yesterday after I had a mini freak out! lol. I emailed her and told her that we wanted to Gazebo and I have the confirmation email that we have it. She has never asked me for a deposit and neither has my TA...wonder if its because we are doing the free wedding package. Ill let you know when I hear anything...

Grill is on the Left - all white and Italian is with the wicker chairs.

 

Correct me if I am wrong...I think I saw on here somewhere that you could only book the grill or italian for the wedding reception and not the gourmet or jap??

Hey Katelyn,

 

Beverly had told me that the free wedding packages end Oct 31,2010.....When did you book? And did she confirm that you could get the free package?

[katelynn]

We booked in April 2010, my TA told me to email Beverly and she sent me and email saying "they are offering it as a continued promotion until 2011". My TA said she is very sure that they will carry it over until 2011, but told me that its fine when I told her we wanted it for our May 3rd wedding.

 

Are any others going with the free package?

Wow...that's a tough decision...both places really look gorgous!  Do you have to let Beverly know what your choice is before you get there then so they can reserve it?  I would really like to SEE both places in person as opposed to choosing from a picture...but then again, we chose the resort from just a picture, and that's a much bigger deal I suppose than the restraunt! 

 

What are you ladies doing about a cake?  Are you bringing a desired design?  Do they even allow you to do that?

 

We sent payment to Beverly...she has not charged us yet...which seems to be the norm, but she sent confirmation to our TA that she got the info...So we will keep our fingers crossed!
