Early Booking Iberostar rose hall beach, have to pay in full 10 months prior?!?

[Jamaicanmecrazy]

I was just given prices for Iberostar Rose Hall Beach and told my guests need to pay in full by October 1 (my wedding is July 10) or the price goes up $200!! When my TA inquired about this she was told this stipulation is from Iberostar?! Anyone heard of this?

I haven't heard of this.... could be an 'early  booking bonus', but considering that is SO far in advance, I think this is a little out to lunch... Do you know any other travel agents you could ask to see whats going on? What tour company is this?  WestJet and Sunquest have final payments due around 45 days before departure.

My wedding is booked at the Iberostar Rose Hall Beach. I have been working with a TA who will be booking the reservations through FunJet. She is asking for 50% when the reservation is made, and the remaining 50% is due about 60 days prior to our wedding. I have also heard from the IRHB that the charges for the wedding are due when we check out of the resort. I would recommend talking to another TA.
