I'll be there at the Suites the day you get married!! Let me know your colors or decorations ideas, maybe I'll have something so you don't have to lug it down.

Justine,

I'm champagne/light pink/burlap/lace type colors.  Vintage theme.  That would be pretty cool if we could maybe share ideas.  My wedding is Jan.7th - will you still be there then?  We arrive Jan.3rd.

Kristi,

When you went did you happen to look at the rooms at the Grand as well as the suites?  My grandma is coming and her main concern is how comfy the beds are.  She is thinking of upgrading to the Grand just for herself but has also heard they have the same beds in both resorts.  And Iberostar isn't really telling us much.  She won't be using any of their restuarants or anything because she will want to be with all of us, so her main reason will be simply for the rooms & their beds. She wants to know if it will be worth it.

Did you happen to tour the beach resort also? My FI are staying at the Suites but have 50% staying at the beach. I'm thinking of the front bar for the welcome party than a bonfire but I'm now wondering if everyone can use the Piano bar?

Thanks

Hey! I did not get an official tour of the beach BUT we did use the pool at the beach one day and ate at some of the restaurants there as well. I do not know whether or not the piano bar is open to guests at the beach but if not there MAY be a piano bar at the beach! Also I am pretty sure the bonfire includes open bar for a certain amount of guests so you may not need to use the front bar/piano bar for your welcome party if you really want to do the bonfire! We saw a bonfire welcome party at the beach when we were there and it looked like a blast!

Hey! We did tour the rooms at the Grand and they are AMAZING! As far as the actual beds go I am not sure if they are different (our room at the suites had a king bed and the room we toured at the grand had 2 queen beds) however the linens at the grand are much nicer and more luxurious and they provide you with a pillow menu so that you can pick your perfect pillow. I don't know if that helps or not!

Hi Did you all tour the beach? I am getting married there in January. Also did the hotel offer you any comps or discounts on your visit?

We did not do an official tour of the beach resort but we did go over there for some meals and hung out at the pool once which was nice... I never saw any of the rooms or anything like that but we liked the resort itself. We did not get one comp/discount or anything like that, it seems like they get so much business that they really don't care if you book there or not because if you don't someone else would... which was a little frustrating... we kinda were expecting some sort of special treatment or a nice gesture but never got one.. which was fine lol... hope that helps.

Thanks for posting this thread. It's been super helpful. Hopefully...I'll be using all this advice for our January 2014 wedding!
