SMB is Catching On

Whenever I find new photos of the still-developing Secrets Maroma Beach Resort (the site of our wedding) I get impossibly excited and have trouble being calm about it. After reading a few forum postings about the resort's difficulties related to hosting a wedding (ugh, talk about days of second-guessing our decision) I am always on the lookout for evidence to the contrary. Hopefully more brides who have held their weddings at SMB will post reviews soon - but until then, I did find some great new shots of the areas of the resort that thus far had been less visible.

You'll see a photo of the Asian fusion restaurant, Himitsu, as well as a new aerial shot of the resort itself. The shot of the ballroom-type space is apparently one of our choices for a reception - and just off this room is the disco! The other two pics are of the Spa area - this has received raving reviews, particularly with regard to massages, but not as much with pedicures and manicures (more than one person wished they had their toes/nails done at home before stepping on the plane....ouch...). I'm going to remain (naively?) optimistically certain that these growing pains will mostly subside by the time August rolls around.
