I just found out that the geniuses at Frangipani rented the hotel to another wedding party, despite our already confirming that we were going to do the same. Ugh. We are working on different hotel options, and have a couple things almost lined up already. Those include the Viceroy (http://www.viceroyanguilla.com/), which is a brand new luxury hotel right down the beach from Meads Bay (Frangipani, Carimar, etc.), and Paradise Cove (http://www.paradise.ai/), which is a more economical option but is still a nice place to stay.
Viceroy is offering us really great pricing, though it appears that it will be slightly higher than Frangipani. But like I said, it's brand new (opened this month) and is supposed to be spectacular. The Paradise Cove is not right on the beach, but is only about 300 yards away from it - actually from Cove Bay, which is right where Smokey's (wedding location) is situated. It is more of an apartment hotel, with 1- and 2-br suites and kitchens available, surrounding a large pool and bar.
I will be sending out yet another hotel registration selection form from Jackie as soon as everything is nailed down. Apologies for the confusion and delay. I imagine these hiccups happen during any wedding planning, but this one is especially frustrating and disappointing. Also, it looks like Carimar has had some cancellations, so there will be some rooms available there. I think they are 2-br suites that can convert to 1-brs, and Carimar is right on the beach and economical.
