2011 Prices

[Martini]

I received rates for the RIU in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. My TA had to make a special request to Sunquest. We are asking our guests to put down their own down payments. However, we have the option to block a group of rooms. If we choose to do this, we will put down a deposit for all rooms. If some rooms are not needed, the deposit balance will be transferred to our room.

I just changed my resort because the quote I got for it was way more than I wanted my guests to spend ($1800). Now I've switched to the Riu Negril where the quotes are under $1500...I'm much happier with that and I really wanted Negril in the first place!

oh that's amazing! I would be open to changing out resort but for some reason my FI is being really stubborn about this! He's been so "whatever" about the whole planning process, but the moment I suggested changing he said no way, if people want to come they'll come.

Your FI and mine sound like birds of a feather LOL I'll ask if he likes something ... its always mhmm, I'll ask which one do you like better .... he thinks two things are the same, I finally talk about switching the resort to some place more economical - he promptly said, "NOPE - thats why we gave them 14 months notice with the STD!" Too funny lol

I just noticed that the prices are online now for the week of April 3rd - I looked up Moon Palace and the prices are starting at $2380 (Cdn)! I am trying not to worry about it too much, and hope the prices come down. Also wait for TA's to get back to me with their prices...

My TA called me with prices today and I'm very happy with them...under $1500 like we wanted and even cheaper for kids! FI are going to do invites this weekend and send them out...guests have 30 days to put down a deposit for the pricing we got!

Ok we're getting married Jan 11th and we are going to the Melia in Punta Cana. It's a pretty nice resort and our quote is $1544. All tax included. Also the Melia is on Transats Promise list so we are watching the prices and our group gets a 1 time price matching reduction.

My TA e-mailed me the other day...we're FINALLY starting to see some specials come out for our resort. I should *hopefully* have a group contract quote on Tuesday this week. The good news is that even if we take the contract, we can adjust the pricing if it goes down even more! I'm finally starting to de-stress!
