Is anyone getting married at Dreams Punta Cana in 2013? I am booking for May

Dreams Punta Cana was the first place we looked at... Still our back up plan if for some reason we cannot book Cayo Levantado for July. It looks so gorgeous at Dreams! Congrats!

I plan on getting married in Jan or Feb 2013 (possibly, do all of you think those would be good months????).

 

I would like to go to Jamaica but I am up for ideas. I know since I am doing a DW, that next year is not an option. And I loved Punta Cana when I went this past June, I want to go somewhere different.

Feb is the best time of year to go the Punta Cana, the temp is in the 70's and has the least amount of rainfall.

Depends on what your priorities are. Jan or Feb seem to be awesome times to go, because of the weather. A lot of brides seem to choose those months. 

 

For us, it is not feasible. We are traveling in off season to save a ton of money, and because I get summers off anyway. Also, I know that my family will not like to travel while trying to pay off Christmas. Not sure if that would be a concern for you or not.

That being said, Jan and Feb have amazing weather, plus you would get on-season perks (everything is open, for example). 

So, it is whatever works best for you, in other words.

 

We picked our resort by choosing a chain we have heard great reviews about (FIs parents went to a different resort in the chain too), but we wanted to go somewhere we had never been before. We have gone to all-inclusives before in Mexico, and decided that we would be most likely to continue Mexico in the future, so we should take this opportunity to try something different. We decided on Dominican. We then narrowed it down to a couple options. So, start broad, then decide the type of experience you want. We are completely content to lie on a beach making use of all-inclusive food and drink for as long as possible, so we decided on a resort where we can indulge in just that. Then we found a resort where there was a huge plus... it is on its own island! After seeing pictures, we were in love.

 

That is how we decided. If we wanted to go on lots of excursions and go shopping, this would not be a good resort to pick. But we want seclusion and complete relaxation in paradise. So this makes sense.

 

Some things to consider... do you want to go somewhere you have never been before? all-inclusive or no? adults only or kid-friendly? how kid-friendly if you go that route? what kind of nightlife? excursions? are you there more for the wedding experience or vacation experience?

etc., etc.,etc.

I'm a February 2013 bride. We've sent in all the paperwork and await confirmation from Iberostar Rose Hall Grand.
