Newbie - The Beloved or Dreams or Azul Sensatori or Now Jade - confused

[nicolam]

Hi everyone,

 

I've been stalking this site for a few weeks now and all the reviews have been really helpful but we still cannot decide on a venue!  Any help would be appreciated.  

 

We are looking for somewhere that's really nice, fun, affordable for our guests (who will be traveling from UK, USA and Australia) with good food, drinks and with a more private area for the ceremony.  There will be some children attending too.

 

We just can't decide and when we think we have narrowed it down to the hotels above we read about another great hotel!  

 

Thanks for your help!

Hi Nicole,

 

We actually work really closely with all of those resorts.

 

We are hosting a wedding webinar with Karisma Hotels in a couple weeks and will cover wedding planning at Azul Sensatori,  You may want to sign up for that: Azul Sensatori Wedding Webinar

 

We will also schedule a NOW and Dreams Webinar after the holidays.  We might do another Beloved Webinar if we get enough interest but just did one about a month ago.

I also wanted to add: have you thought about doing the Karisma Dress Rehearsal?  It is a good chance to do a site visit and check out some wedding set ups.

My fiance and I got engaged in October 2015. I had done months of research to find the perfect place for my destination wedding.  After narrowing it down to one location and having many conversations with multiple resorts I traveled during April of 2016 to Mexico to do site visits at each of them and stayed at Beloved Hotel as this was my front runner going in.  After my stay I quickly locked in my date with Beloved and had a contract in place to have my wedding there in May of 2017; it was perfect. Beloved satisfied all of my wants and more; the resort is family friendly, small and intimate, has impeccable service, amazing rooms and all I was looking for. Most important to me is that they only do 1 wedding/day. They contacted me this week to inform me that effective Sept. 2016 the resort will be adults only; my nieces and nephews whom are under 18 and will not be permitted to attend with the change. I am devastated to say the least. I have been upfront the entire time about the children in my group and di not consider any adult only resorts for that reason.  They are trying to work with me to move the wedding to their sister resort, Finest, however the resort is very different than Beloved. A big difference is that they host up to 4 weddings per day.  If they can make changes to host my wedding there in the same way that they could at Beloved I will seriously consider having it there. If not I have to start the entire process over again. I will keep everyone updated regarding how they are treating this as Excellence is turning something that was supposed to be beautiful into a nightmare. I hope they can turn this around. I want to make sure other brides are aware of what they are doing and how they are treating those they have now displaced.  They say Excellence is known for their customer service; I am willing to give it a fair change but after doing this to us they should bend over backwards for the pain and damage they are causing.

Welcome to our forum community Megan, and Congrats on your engagement and upcoming destination wedding!!! Sorry to hear about your challenges after you were off to such a great start! Hope it all resolves in a way that works out best for you - fingers' crossed!

 

We agree that the Beloved is a beautiful wedding venue, so hopefully the Finest will provide equally wonderful ambiance for your wedding celebration and beautiful photos!

Wishing you all the best with your plans, and that it all turns out just the way you envision, or Even BETTER!!!
