Choose A Resort

There is so much to consider when choosing a resort! This is where our hands on expertise really comes into play. We know these resorts inside and out. We've stayed there, planned weddings with them, know the key staff members and more importantly, they know us. We're not just another travel agent inquiring about a wedding date. When they see an email from Romance Travel Group come through, they answer.

Wedding Package Explanation

Here’s the scoop on wedding packages… all resorts have them, and they will drive you crazy! They are all pretty much the same, but just a tiny bit different, making is very difficult to compare apples to apples. Just remember, what one hotels has to offer, ALL the others can do as well. The wedding package really doesn’t matter since all the resorts can do anything you want and they all end up costing about the same in the end. You’ll find wedding packages listed on each resort’s website if you want to take a look at them, but don't let yourself get too caught up.

Where resorts really start to differ is with their group amenities. Keep reading for details!

Group Amenities

While wedding package all tend to be the same from resort to resort, there are some big differences when it comes to their group amenities. This is where it is important to compare. We take this into account when including resorts on our list of recommendations. Some resorts offer a ton of great freebies and incentives for couples hosting their wedding with them (like free rooms, cocktail parties, upgrades, etc) while other resorts will actually charge you extra for having too many guests. We include the resorts with the best group amenities on our list for you. The larger the group, the more important the group amenities are.

Wedding vs. Vacation Resort

Of course your wedding day is important! But, if you're struggling to choose a resort, try setting the wedding aside for a moment. Look at the resorts from a vacation perspective. Does it have the pool atmosphere you like? Are there plenty of restaurant options? How's the beach? What do the rooms look like? How's the location? Once you start to zone in on a few resorts (2-3 is best), then layer the wedding details back on. We'll help you sort through the resorts and really compare your top few choices

Our List of Recommendations

Years of experience and knowledge goes into creating our list of resort recommendations for our couples. We are experts at matching each couple with the resorts that best fit the wants and needs that have been expressed to us. The goals are simple:

Every couple wants an incredible experience. This means a beautiful beach, delicious food, cold drinks, and impeccable service. You want that wow-factor for your guests.

Couples want all of these things and more at an affordable price, not only for them, but almost more importantly, for your guests, too. Keeping costs reasonable is very important.

And, couples want to trust their destination wedding to someone they can count on to make sure everything goes smoothly and seamlessly. You want the guidance and reassurance of an expert.

We take this into account every time we are selecting resorts for a couple. If a resort is on our list, it is there for a reason. If a resort is missing, there is usually a reason for that, too.

Prices

The prices you see listed with resorts are the per person, per night price. The price includes the standard room, round trip airport shuttles, all meals and snacks, all drinks (alcoholic and non), resort entertainment and resort taxes. Everything needed for the trip is included, except flights. Since we do a group room block for the rooms, we have to leave flights off. If we did group air, all guests would be required to be on the same plane, which takes away all flexibility. We've found it is easier to let guests book their own flights so they can use point, miles, credits, etc, and choose the airline, days and times that work best for them. Our package begins when guests land at the destination airport.
