Returning to the ROR for our 1 Year!!! Has anyone done this before?????

[carides44]

Hey Ladies!!!!!!!!!!

I hope all of your wedding planning is coming along great!. I got married last May at the ROR and it was such an AMAZING time. My husband promised me that we would go back to celebrate our 1 year!!! I just wanted to know if anyone has done this before and if the ROR offers anything special to couples returning for their anniversary, such as a room upgrade or anything like that. 

 

Please please feel free to message me if you have any questions about the wedding and resort. I was so into the resort and believe me I can answer probably most of your questions!!!! Happy planning and you will NOT be disappointed with the ROR

Meghan, we got married there in Nov 2010 and the way the service was between nov 12 and Nov 27, and onward based on reviews, i dont think I personllay would want to go back to that Resort to celebrate a one year anniversary. My weddng day was awesome, but surely not because of the resort. And they made the rest of my stay very frustrating and stressful. Im not hard to please, it was all based on their mishaps. So i just wouldnt want you to go there and be disappointed if its not as it was when you got married...just my thoughts

Ochosriosbride,

 

I'm getting married at ROR in May, can you elaborate on any mishaps in service you had thta would help us plan ahead or what to watch out for, because now I'm getting nervous that I have all these people going to a resort I picked, and to have it unsatisfactory makes me extremely uneasy.

I got married at ROR in April of 2008 & returned in 2009 to celebrate our anniversary with some of the same family & friends who attended my wedding! After our wedding was over everyone kept asking us when we were going to return so we just made it another group trip for our anniversary.

Just like my experience for my wedding, everyone had a great time!! I wanted to go back again in 2010 but thought that my friends would kill me so we made other plans. Actually my MOH did go back last year & just like the 2 times before, she had a great time.

 

In terms of ROR offering us anything special, the one thing that I requested upon check-in was the same suite that we had for the wedding & luckily they made it happen! And although that was the only thing they did, the wedding coordinator at the time, saw us one day in the lobby & totally remembered us which was nice.

If you are using a TA maybe you can check with him/her in terms of noting on your reservation that you were married there & are returning to celebrate your anniversary. Good luck & have fun!

When we arrive at 2am all we wAnted to do was eat and relax. It was me my husband and his two teenage boys. We had obviously requested a room with two double beds to sleep 4. We walked in and found one king bed. We spent the next hour at the front desk that ssi couldnt do anything in the morning cuz the entire resort was full, which I found hard to believe. They finally said they would bring a double cot up which turned out too be single we had to ship one sone to sleep with a family member. Which I felt was unexeptable. For the following day we were upgraded to a suite however it look all day going back and forth missing time with our guests and family we got into the new room by 7pm that night with no offered help from the resort. The resort is huge so just going back and forth from the drink desk to ur spot on the beach wastes slot of time. We went old room front desk beach front desk old room front desk back and forth cuz they kept postponing when we could get the keys. Finally we got in to new room and AC wasn't working my dress got humid And smelly we called 4 times to have someone fix it. It didn't get done till the mondayvof our 2nd wk there so I had the pleasure of getting ready in a hot and sticky room. The the request I made for tikki torches and some chairs for my beach reception were never set up. Don't tell me u can do it if u cant it didn't ruin anything it just made me mad.

I'm sorry you went through all of that mayhem.   I plan on getting married there next year as well, and I'm definitely taking note on where they could improve through your experience.
