El Dorado Royale (EDR) Brides - POST HERE!

Well, mine's not ready

The bra cups came in and they were nude, not white and the top of my dress is sheer so they need to be white. New ones should be in tomorrow, but I'll be out of town until Monday so next week it is.....I hope!!!

Totally bummed, but at least I still have 2 months.

Thank You!

 

I'm actually just going to make my own hair vine.  I know the basics of beading and jewelry making, so I figured I could handle making a simple beaded necklace.  I read an article on Jennifer Lawrence's hair vine from the Hunger Games premiere that said she just took a vintage gold necklace, braided it into her hair and then flipped/pulled apart the braid pinning it with the necklace intertwined.   seems simple enough. 

I'm going to make a necklace that I can then later wear as a memory of the day.  So, just could just do some necklace shopping for it, vs. using something specifically made for hair.

That's such a lovely idea having it to keep as a memento. I will have to find some nice long necklaces! Thanks for the idea! X

Allie would you mind taking a quick look at this little guide I'm going to include in the OOT bags? I think I included everything. I know I would appreciate something like this, but if the resort already has something similar please let me know so I don't order them.

 

Thanks!!

Nicole

What a great idea! I may steal it

[AllieH]

this is awesome!! I vaguely remember getting a small list of the restaurant times, but it didn't include the bars or snack corners. So I think this would be really helpful.

 

I would suggest a note added to check restaurant's days and times, just in case there are changes.  and all of the restaurants aren't open every day. I think there was one night Kampai was closed, and another when Rincon was closed. Rincon has dinner hours also, from 6-10pm.

 

You may also want to add that room service is 24/7, and typically takes about 30 minutes to deliver. (try the lobster quesadillas - we loved these!)

 

There are two D'Italia restaurants - one in the Royale side, and one in the Casitas side. I've heard the menus are identical, but the service was a little better/nicer in the casitas (we ate at the D'Italia casitas several times!!)

 

The other thing with the restaurants that you may want to mention is that there is a dress code at lunch - no swim suits, except at the pizzeria. Ladies will need a cover up & shorts, gents need a t-shirt and must be dry.

 

Bars:

There's also a champagne bar above D'Italia Casitas. They have most other alcoholic beverages too, but this place was always quiet when we were there. It's on the 2nd floor, and has a lovely balcony that looks out over the beach.

 

The other bar to mention is Gaviotas - this is the one on the beach across from Kampai. It was one of our favorite locations. They don't have hours listed, but I think it opened around 10 or 11am, and closed around 9 or 10pm.

 

Hope that helps!!

Thanks for the advice... Did anyone have a pre-made general schedule for when/where they planned to have dinner or drinks each night, if others wanted to join them?

I don't want everyone to know where we'll be haha. We're having the welcome dinner Friday, the wedding Saturday, and then after that it's each man for himself!
