We swung on over to The Brookwood Inn, which is right down the street (convenient!) and checked that out too. It was stunning inside. They are in the middle of renovating the whole place, so that's good! The guest rooms were good too, very nice. We got a chance to check out the bridal suite, it wasn't as nice as I thought...but it was still nice.
We wanted to check out the bridal suites for both, since we know at the end of the night, neither one of us would want to go back to our house. So we were hoping to book the 1200 square foot bridal suite at the Woodcliff and have our entire bridal party come back to our room so the party wouldn't just end.
Also, we got our honeymoon costs from the travel agent over the weekend. It's a little more than we wanted to spend, so we went back and told our travel agent that we'll just stick to two islands instead of three. We originally wanted to go to Bora Bora, Moorea and Manihi. Spending about 3-4 nights on each. And we wanted to have guaranteed overwater bungalows. That was about $3,000 MORE than our allocated budget, so we went back and decided that we would be just as happy spending 5 nights in Moorea and 4 nights in Bora Bora. That was just about in our price range....only it doesn't include food or any excursions. I guess the food there is incredibly expensive ($50ea for breakfast, $75ea for lunch, $150ea for dinner!) YIKES! We're hoping to find some options that include ONE meal. We'll see where that shakes out.
