PPR, Iberostar, or Secrets in the D.R.?

Christy · May 6, 2010

Good day brides to be. HELP! Im trying to get decide between these amazing resorts. Waiting on rates for 2011 but my date is 1/11/2011 so getting close so hoping to get save the dates out soon.

WE have 60 plus adults, no kids coming but still drawn to the PPR.

Can someone tell me if there are alog of activities for adults at this resort?

The royal section prices HIGH so not sure I want to make my guests pay that.

Seeing what sort of adult activities they provide? Nightlife? Same for the iberostar and Secrets. I just found the Cap CAna and fell in love with it but seems to price high. I think my taste is on the high side but want a great resort.

Any feedback on these resorts. We have a great fun group coming. Wanting a resort that offers a great reception location. WE are considering getting married off the resorts at the beautiful catcholic church about 20 min. away.

Wanted the reception at Gabi Beach club at the PPR but they are insane for what they want for that. Wish it was negotiable.

Anyways any other d.r. brides out there looking at these resorts or previous ladies who have advise?

Thanks and congrats all you new brides out there and newly married!

Hey Christy! I'm getting married at the PPR in 2 months! My family and I took a trip there about 4 years ago (shortly after it opened) and absolutely loved it. I have my fingers crossed that it will be just as amazing as we remember it. I know the prices are high but I really think it's worth it. Unfortunately, I haven't been to the other resorts so I can't help you there but my best friend recently stayed at the Cap Cana and loved it!

I can help you with activities available at PPR...there's golf, scuba diving, snorkeling, and horse back riding. All are supposed to be included but when I recently looked at the website there was a $ next to horse back riding. I'm going to ask the WC about that. My FI, his family and friends are into golf and scuba diving so I'm thrilled they're included. Golf is off site at a fancy course. I think it's about $35 per person for the cart rental. Scuba diving has 1 tank of oxygen included per day. Night life was pretty low key. There's a small disco and casino. I think it'll be great for our party to take over. Honestly though if you're looking for a more fun nightlife you might want to look at the Paradisus Punta Cana.

Wow this response is way long! I really hope this helps you, good luck with your search.
