We have finally decided on mexico, trying to decide either cancun or riviera maya and then cant decide on a hotel! Lol any suggestions, must be family friendly, have a great pool and beach and mexican food!!!! Dont want people breaking the bank but still want a great experience (all inclusive)

@@scamacho -  I second @@fandreolli - Azul Sensatori is a great option! 

 

I would recommend finding a travel agent  - give them your list of 'must-haves' and 'wish-lists' for a venue, and they should come back to you with a few options. I gave our TA a long list, and she came back with 4 options in Riviera Maya and 4 in Punta Cana. We selected Azul Sensatori because it was Family Friendly, with adults only, less expensive, and great resort, good food, and overall a good vibe. Plus, she negotiated 2017 room rates for our 2018 wedding - saving our guests $$.

See. I kind of feel like my TA didn't real do anything. She asked what they offered and relayed the message to us. We were quoted 1400 per couple for 4 days 3 nights. Is that about what your guests were quoted as well @@TandAGetHitched?

@@fandreolli - yep, that's very similar to the rate our TA got for us. $1400 for 2 adults for 3 nights is cheaper than if they booked direct on the Azul website, which is currently $1886 for 2 people/3 nights for our wedding dates in May 2018 - https://bookingengine.karismahotels.com/

 

I think the group rates and sometimes the perks, can depend on the TA status they have with Karisma... (diamond vs. silver)

Thank you. Are you having real flowers or I saw a lot of people talking about using real touch flowers. I am so afraid taht they will look cheap and fake. Do you know anything about that? What will you be doing? Lomas seems like their bouquets are quite pricey.

I bought

"real touch" roses and I have to say I am extremely picky but they are beautiful. The colors, the feel, the look. You would never know. I am so happy.
