OFFICIAL El Dorado Royale/El Dorado Casitas Royale Thread!

Hi Nicole,

 

I think ours were the middle of the day too (and really soon after our meeting with the onsite WC team - that was crappy planning!).

 

You can request different times and/or days, and if the spa can accomodate it, it should be ok. If the WC doesn't offer you a time or day you like, pick one that works best, for now, and then call the spa when you get there and ask to change it. My experience is things are a little more flexible once you are onsite.

 

You'll be offered either an indoor or outdoor massage - the only difference is location (inside the spa, or outside on the beach under the palapas). We did ours outside, and loved hearing the waves and having the breeze blow around us. It was super relaxing! My husband enjoyed it so much that he wants to do it again when we go back for our anniversary - and he's not much of a spa guy at all!

Thoughts?

 

Thanks!

Hi! Lomas current lists the prices for the bridal style & make up (wedding day) at $94 each.

 

They don't show the rehearsal prices; they were $49 each, and I'm not sure if they went up when they raised the wedding day prices. The wedding day prices went up $5, so it's probably safe to assume the rehearsal prices increased too. Lomas should be able to quote the most current pricing during the planning process. 

 

Hope that helps!

I am getting married January 18^th at the El Dorado Royale and am looking for advice on photographers. I look at the approved vendors and don’t know how you are supposed to choose. Has anyone worked with any of these? Any good or bad reviews of them? Thanks

Hi Jess,

 

I personally haven't worked with any of the photographers (we brought our own with us for our wedding). Several brides on the EDR thread (link in my signature) have used Sarani, and were very happy. I've also seen reviews from brides at other Rivera Maya resorts who were happy with Claudia Photo and Mexican Wedding Photography (and Mike from MWP is a member here at BDW). You may want to do a search on those particular photographers to see more examples of their work, and reviews.

 

Happy Planning!!

Jess, I loved working with Sarani.  My photos were stunning.  The one thing I wished I had spent more money on was more time with her.   Here's a link to my post with some pictures from her.  She has a pinterest page also with loads of pictures in it that she's done and a blog too.  For weeks I was obsessed with looking at her stuff.  All I can say is that she's fantastic and fun to work with.
