here are some pics from when my FI and i went down last year for a vacation.....great resort!!!!

 

This is a wedding that was going on when we were on the beach. And this made us decide we for sure DONT want a beach wedding. Hence the man in the speedo, and yellow caution tape.

 

 

This was the view from our room. We loved it. We got to see if the pool was busy but had great palms to give us privacy.

 

This is where we are having our private reception. The Garden Grill. Great food!

 

Just a nive pic of the lobby alive at night.They have great drinks!

 

I would highly recomend the Diamond Club. We had super fast check in, you get this cute little room with a bar in it to go to for internet, this is also where the private check in is. You get extra dinners, as well as the diamond pool. which wasnever busy! it was great. you had the option of a nice relaxing pool or head over to the main pools for some parties.

 

I do have more pictures, if anyone wants to request a certain pic. i will check to see if i took one.

hope this helps.

Hi guys i want to leave you with a review. I got married there on June 19th it was amazing. Everything went without a hitch. It rained so we xchanged the gazebo for the indoor setting without fail. Here goes:

 

I used the photographer on the resort because they charge 500$ to use an outside photgrapher. I initially wanted Michael Weiler.

I was afraid it wouldnt work out but it ended up being better! They are very condusive to what you want and your budget.

you can FB them Arrecife Bahia is their FB page. They are extremely friendly and accomodating. Their packages ranged from 699 and up which is good for the quality of photos. We didnt want printed ones so they gave us a dvd slideshow and the cd .

 

Word of advice...

dont do the unforgettable.. its not worth it.. we downgraded to Blissful Love which is just as good.

The signature cocktail hour is excellent and they add extra liquor in the drink if you want.

They give you dinner reservations with your whole group throughout your stay together if you give them a list in advance of the guests! The spa discounts does not include hair and nails.

 

We checked in, got a letter from the WC at a time to meet.

She reviewed the contract and pulled out two books.

1. with flowers a HUGE selection of bouquets

2.Cake book huge selection of cakes

3. Extras in the second book too like candles ribbons etc..

 

The cake was amazing i had vanilla coconut..

When you get there they will reconfirm and tell you of extra things they have if your interested but they dont push. Dont do open bar unless you are adamant about it. there is an hour usually of open time after ceremony guests went to lobby and drank. They include wine, beer and with the cocktail hour you can modify it for a time during dinner or dance portion. We took an ipod worked amazing.

If you pick canapes service, when you get there the WC will be honest and say.. you wont like this so switch it with this.. it doesnt taste good. so dont worry over selections. We ordered personalized shot glasses as favors at discount mugs.com & our fan program we got for 20$ at the knot .com. They decorate everything beautifully for you so dont encumber yourself taking centerpieces etc.

 

i dont know how to put some photos on here ...but they were amazing
