Finally, we decided out of the many resort options that we would pick 10 places to review and then narrow it down to 6 resorts and then contact 3 for availability and rates.
When chosing a resort there were a few things that we were looking for:
- Budget Friendly - Since we plan on inviting guest we didn't want to go over $350 a night for a double occupancy room.
- All-inclusive.
- Affordable Wedding Packages
- Cleanliness
- Good Reviews
- Food Options - We're goodies so we want multiple options since we will be there for 5 plus days and also has a large variety to accommodate our guest.
- Kid Friendly resort - If not we have a plan to include my 11-year-old son in the ceremony at home since the wedding there will only be a symbolic ceremony.
With all that being said, we selected the following resorts and emailed them this morning for availability on Saturday, June 1, 2013.
#1 choice - Excellence Punta Cana
#2 choice - Ibersostar Bavaro
#3 choice - Riu Palace Bavaro
I'm praying that we hear back from each them soon and so we can finally lock down a date & location. I'm so ready to move on to other details of the wedding already. Choosing a location has been such a job that I haven't even considered any colors. I've saved a few images on my computer and on pinned a few things on Pinterest but feel like I'll really be able to focus on other things once I have this task crossed off my list.
UPDATE **I heard back from Riu Palace this afternoon and they are available for the date we have requested. One down, two to go!**
