M'Frog,
My gosh, did you have a bad day, or did you not understand what I was talking about??? I did not think that everything typed had to be perfect. My husband is named Oscar and I love him from which ever country he comes from!! Even if from the USA....sorry United Stated....sorry United States of America!!!!
Point being the thread is about whether Tigs should go to...sorry vacation at the Grand Palladium, Ocean Sand, or Melia Caribe. No hard feelings! I was recently helped on this forum myself and now I am trying to help somebody else!
Tigs,
I asked Oscar which hotel was better and he quickly said Ocean Sand. I then asked him why and he said "because it's a new one, Grand Palladium is a too old one".
As for the romantic dinner... you can pretty much get what ever you like, especially if you tip them! My advise is to talk with guest service very early in the week, even ask them if they have an anniversary special/upgrade. It is the off season and they will have more time for you. I would think a dinner on the beach would definatly be an option. There is a restaurant on the beach, I don't remember exactly, but I think it was an upscale buffet at night. We went one night and I remember the setting was very nice but not sure what we ate. On our wedding night, we went to the Dominican Restaurant, but we had the family with us, so you know... During the week we also went to the Mexican Restaurant and Route 66. Both were good but not a romanitic atmosphere. Route 66, well, needed some American perfecting, if you know what I meen! The night before my wedding I will never forget. We went to the coffee shop, I think it was called "Mike's Coffee", and it reminded me of a Starbucks. My family, Oscar, and I sat and talked over coffee and tea about how we met from both our point of views. There was another restaurant we did not go to. I think we had to pay but I am not sure. I think it was a steak house, something like the keg, but once again, not sure. But it did look very nice. I also know there is an Italian restaurant. Like I said before, I really like the Buffet. Out of all my trips to the Dominican Republic, I prefer the buffet (which was very good) as compared to being served.
Talk to guest service early in the week. They helped us alot with our wedding because we did not want to spent a whole lot of money and we only wanted a simple ceremony because we want something when he comes to Canada. We only paid the judge fee and said we did not want/need and of the extra stuff, like flowers. But because I tipped the lady $20, she made sure the hall looked very nice with flowers, white table and chairs, and white ribbons. It was simple and perfect! We got married on October 12, 2005. They also have a nice spa with comparable prices to here. I had my hair done for $40US.

Bad Day???
when I made my first post about "the Dominican" and the DR grammar police pounced on me.
