Ours is going through Lomas Travel but I think that is a Karisma connection.

For you ladies that booked a Catamaran cruise for your guest - who did you go through and also if you dont mind sharing approximately how much was it PP?? THANKS

It's official, I am now an EDR Bride, We booked our Casita and Saved our date yesterday. My wedding date is June 11, 2011. I always wanted to be married in a church so was planning on the chapel, but I worry if "a beach ceremony" is what a destination wedding is all about.

 

Any Chapel brides at EDR please let me know if you made the right choice.

I have Valeria's contact info, should I email or call first as an introduction, I wanna be on her good side. Any thoughts?

Congrats!! I am going thru Carolina so no suggestions with Valeria! haha

I had been in email contact with Valeria and now Priscila(both very nice and helpful). Email seems to be doing the trick! Maybe closer to the date I will call to double check on everything.

Now that I'm less than 2 weeks away, I can say that overall working with Valeria via email has been awesome. She really wants you to have the best wedding possible and she'll do anything for you. Enjoy the planning!

Hi Ladies,

I am thinking of having my wedding at El dorado royale. We are going to have over one hundred guests and wanted to know if anyone else has done a party here with that number of guests Have not been out to see it yet, but it looks gorgeous in pics.

 

Any reviews would be helpful Thanks!

Hi Traybe!

 

I'm having 70 guests so not quite 100. It's my understanding that they can accomodate that many. The only caveat is that it will slightly limit your private event options. For example, a popular reception location is Tucanes. But you can only do Tucanes if you have 50 guests or less. We ended up having to do our Rehearsal Dinner at La Isla instead of El Cocotol but still use the El Cocotol menu because of the size of our party...things like that. But honestly I didn't think that any of these concessions will take away from the wedding. I've had a really smooth time with Valeria (my designated coordinator) and I can't wait to actually get there next Tuesday.

 

I hope this helps.

I love the hotel i came back from my honeymooon two weeks ago.  Stay in the casitas they were great, the regular rooms are a big on the dark side and not as romantic.

Steve&julia,

Hey I saw you on the AS ( azul sensatori) site and I guess great minds think alike. I am trying to decide on if we should switch hotels for the honeymoon or not. The choice is stay in honeymoon suit at AS for entire stay or switch after the wedding to ELD marmona or casitas.  FI wants to be reassured that if we move resorts it should be better than the AS.  From the sounds of things you did what we are thinking about doing.  Is ELD CASITAS better, the same, or worse.  Is it worth us changing?  what room did you all get at AS and ELD?  Have pics?  Sorry so many questions!  Its way past my bedtime but very interested in what you have to say about the whole experience!
