I'm guessing it's the view and no fee for the location. Is that correct? I opted for the English Garden because it's very private. I don't want to feel like I'm at a resort with other people at the reception so I want something private and quiet. Did anyone get a discount for group booking of rooms?

We got a deal with our packages through our travel agent....every 16th flight/room booked was free.....so we had the money credited back to us and divided among all of our guests, it worked out to about $80.00 off per person....not a lot, but every little bit helps. I am sure you probably could get better deals because you are closer to Cabo.
Hope that helps.

I'm also wondering about photography. It seems like there are great reviews of photographers on here that are from outside the resort. Does anyone know about the quality of the photography from the person designated by Riu? Does anyone know who that is? I have yet to read about a bride that just stuck with the designated photographer. Is there a reason for this? Does anyone have feedback about the Riu photographer for me?

 

Thanks!

I was married at the RIU Cabo on Sept 29th and the designated photographer was Jerome. He did a fabulous job. He was only supposed to be with us an hour per RIU policy but actually stayed with us 2 hours. He is french and very cute:) Check out some of my photos:

We just recevied our confirmation for 11/08/08 from Paola! Lagen, where did you get pictures of wedding sites at Riu Palace?

My US wedding planner got them from the RIU WC. I have pics of the varios wedding sites and reception sites. I'm not sure how to put them on here. If you, or anyone can guide me I would be willing to post them for all to see. Or, private message me your e-mail on another server and I can send them there!

 

Let me know if you have other questions!! Happy planning!
