OFFICIAL Gran Bahia Principe Riviera Maya Thread


Recommended Posts

I have some questions about the payment. @ maybe you know some of these answers?

 

Coming from Canada the exchange is terrible right now and it's probably only going to get worse. I noticed on there it says you can pay cash up to $1500 per person per room. What does per person per room mean? If my bill is $2400 could I put down $1500 and could my parents put the rest since they are in a different room?

 

Also I thought I read somewhere that you need to pay the dj in cash but it doesn't say that anywhere on the resort paperwork?

 

Last question: does the resort add any type of gratuity to the bill?

 

I'd like to pay cash as much as possible so I can take out the right amount now so I don't have to pay more later.

It's been awhile since I got married, so things may have changed... but I had to pay the DJ and the blood work in cash.  Now that they have the exclusive deal with the DJ perhaps you don't have to anymore?  But that lowered our bill at checkout.  

 

We had no gratuities added to our bill. 

 

And I paid with a credit card, so I can't speak to paying cash upon check out.  Sorry!

Hi I am getting married at the Tulum on March 31st 2016. I love this forum and wanted to ask a quick question. We are thinking of having the pool side reception and are unsure on the price. I know we have to pay per hour for our guests drink but is there a price to have that area and lighting etc? Thanks Scarlett

There is a minimum of 20 people and the drinks per person price covers a few high tables and chairs, service, and special lighting.

Thank you Maggietron, I have 50 guests booked already so that is brilliant news. When do I need to book the poolside reception? Should I email my wedding planner at the hotel now as I want to know we are getting it, I mean it depends are there enough pool side locations if another bride was having it the same day?

Thanks again

Scarlett

There are a few poolside locations available, so hopefully it'll work out for everyone.  

The receptions aren't necessarily blocked off from other guests, but they are situated in such a way that guests don't go near them.  Occasionally you'll have a few people looking or dancing in the distance, but the four I've been to haven't had any problems.
