So we are considering Our Lucaya the Radisson, still waiting for Faye Knowles to get back with me . After reading all your reviews,  I know she is not just ignoring me ! So I've seen reviews for different Our Lucaya Resorts. But  was wondering if there is reviews for the Radisson Our Lucaya Resorts? Our there all-inclusive packages available?

 Hi!

 

     Im getting married on December 31, 2010 at Our lucaya Resort at the Radisson not the Reef Village! I just recently discovered that they are owned by the Westin but are 2 different resorts. My coordinator so I thought was Faye Knowles but once I signed my contract and they got my money it has now changed to some Meryl Russell! which im kind of nervous about. Has anyone married yet at Our Lucaya and if you have can I get some feed back on the photographer if you used the resort 1 and flowers, hair and makeup, dinner..etc...  I have been emailing Faye and she is very brief and really seems like she doesn't handle to much! If you have any pics, that would be great too! Thanks

Hey Jersey Bride!

 

Dont worry about changing to Meryl she is GREAT!!!!

[ladebug577]

Meryl will take care of everything for you! Or she will find the right person to do so.  I havent gotten married there but I have found a few girls on here that have! The one that got married there loved it! And another that did a site visit love it as well.  I didnt like the hotel photographer so

I have changed my contract to use an outside photographer!  I am getting married in the April of 2011 and I am still in the planning process but so far so good! Meryl has made everything happen that I have asked to happen! So so far I am very satisfied!

  Hi Ladebug577,

 

   I hope so! She just contacted me and sent me a check list and sample pictures of the photographer they use at the resort. His work looked okay. Do you have a photographer your using out there and if so do you have his website information or a #.  She also sent me information the florist. I will definitely keep everyone posted on my event. I have booked  and paid for everything already and the date is set for the 31 of December 2010. So we will see! Thank you!

Hi All-

 

I'm just checking in to see how everyone's planning is coming!

I'm slowly struggling through my interactions with Faye and Meryl and am hoping that they get things straightened out soon.  I know I'm still 6 months out but I'm having a little bit of a panic!

 

Hoping the rest of you are having a smoother time!

Wow I feel so bad I haven't been on here in forever! 

 

Regarding Radisson, Reef village blah blah blah.....it is ALL the same resort. I went there in March for a site visit. It use to be Westin, Sheraton etc but now is under one corporation name "Our Lucaya" that kept the Radisson name. So how it works is Faye Knowles (who is back to Faye Hunt)....talks price and basically is your contract woman. Once you sign then you get assigned a wedding coordinator (mine is Laurel) and then communication goes MUCH smoother. The resort is now under one name "Our Lucaya" but is kind of 3 resorts right next to eachother (not disjointed at all). Though it is one company now the 3 "areas/resorts" have different price points to stay in but once you stay at one resort you have access to EVERYTHING. If looking at the beach...the one to the left is called lanai suites...it is the "higher end" resort much quieter and less tourists, in the middle is called breaker cay (the big white building) it is mid price point but where most of the action is, then there is reef village which is the most affordable and where most people stay. My guests are staying at reef village mostly while my parents and I (us) will be at breakers cay (with the wedding night at lanai suites).  So as I said before it doesn't matter where you stay because you can use any part of the resort...you can go to the infinity pool by the lanai suites, eat at chop circle by breakers cay or ANY area of the LONG beach. I chose Our Lucaya because it has  a price point and an area for everyone to be entertained (even a kids area near reef village). Not to mention it is across the street from the market for shopping. In addition my FI is a HUGE golfer and Our Lucaya has 2 courses that are discounted if you stay there. So in summary...don't be nervous! Its a beautiful place...I'll write another review after my wedding in May!!! Hope this helps!
