Thankfully transportation to and from the hotel is included in our price.

 

However for our second week in negril. Since we probably will not be staying at the Riu there, We have to find our way to there.. lol

UGh, Well depending on what information my Travel Agent comes back with in regards to some issues we are having, we now may be having our wedding off resort.

My plan is the make it fix in the budget... I have a friend who is from Jamaica and his cousin owns a tour company but I don't remember the name right this min will post/ text it later for you and others

 

Transportation is including in our price as well but I was going to ask my TA about this once I knew how many people were coming for sure. If we are a large group and could fill a bus I would like to arrange our own private bus. The last time we were in Jamaica we waited about an hour and a half for the resort bus to show up and would like to avoid that this time. It was hot and crowded and not the greatest experience. Hopefully she'll be able to arrange something for us.

Well there has been more than one lol But I let the first one go.

 

But now its a issue with realtives coming from the usa or directly in Jamaica. And we wont know if they can come on the resort or not until day of wedding and if the resort is full or not.  so now some guests may not come Because they dont know for sure if they can get in for the wedding.. Understandable I wouldnt want to pay if I cant come for sure. And the reason they arnt staying at the resort is because they want to stay with family in Jamaica as thats home for them. .. so  thinking about moving off resort to ensure that everyone can come.. its a nightmare and annoying..  and this isnt even MY aunt. Its his. and I have to take all the flack.. -sighs-

That is terrible! I did hear that January/ February were peak season. Did you try to call the resort to see if there is any way they could accommodate your guests? Explain to them that you might have to find an off site wedding venue.... Maybe they will try a little harder.

I know! I mean 10 ppl shouldnt make a big issue, but nope they are like if its at capacity too bad. So our travel agent is trying to work her magic, and basically will tell them.. listen you are gonna lose out on the money so I mean come on im paying for the private reception lol

That's so horrible! Its a huge resort I'm sure they can accommodate 10 extra people for one day. And to have to wait until the day of the wedding to get an answer is totally ridiculous.  I do not blame you for looking elsewhere, I would have done the same.
