We arrived on Thursday afternoon and were greeted with nothing but smiles. We opted to self park and cart around our own luggage, but the extra assistance with valet parking and a golf cart ride to a room was available if we wanted it. Our room was located at the back of the property, facing the gold course, on the top floor of Building C. Building C is reserved specifically for SPG members and since I am Platinum, I also received free continental breakfast. The room was nice, though a little dated. It’s not up to Westin standards, in my opinion, but the hotel category on SPG.com reflects that. We used points to book our stay and it came in at a rate of 7,000 points per night. I was not overly disappointed, though, and welcomed the chance just to have some down time. We later found out that the rooms will go through a renovation this year, so we’re looking forward to heading back to check out the updates.

The rest of the property is also in that phase of needing a facelift. The pool area could be fantastic if they upgraded the seating. We sat at the adult pool, but noticed the other pools were the same way. The lobby is somewhat oppulent, but in an old school kind of way. It was very clean, but just very dated. The gym area was actually renovated, but there was nothing overly exciting about it in terms of looks. The gym itself has a lot of machines and is great for someone looking to do both weights and cardio. The resort also has an extensive tennis area.

We enjoyed breakfast each morning and the wait staff was super friendly and accommodating. One thing that really stood out for me was having my Diet Coke included in the breakfast package. Most hotels only include juice, milk, and coffee, so I was head over hills thrilled to not have to pay extra. It’s the small things that count for me! The food was good and quite filling, even though we never ordered off of the full breakfast menu. The only other restaurant we dined at while on the property was Sabino’s Grill, which is the pool bar. We had an assortment of drinks, some fries, and chicken fingers. It was a little pricey, but our server was attentive and personable.

While in Tucson, we hit up a few local attractions. We did a lot of hiking, specifically at Sabino Canyon and Saguaro National Park East. Both Sabino and Saguaro have several trails to choose from. We chose Bear Canyon and Seven Falls at Sabino and we chose the Loma Vista Loop at Saguaro. After all of that hiking, we had to eat well to build up our strength. We had dinners at The Melting Pot, Grimaldi’s, and El Charro Cafe. For lunch, we ate at the Sabino Pool Grill, Beyond Bread, and Chipotle. Definitely figure out when Grimaldi’s has their Buffalo Chicken pizza and run, do not walk, there. It’s so good and we happen to live near a Grimaldi’s! Beyond Bread also has fantastic macaroni and cheese.

So, while our trip was wasn’t over the top, full of activities, or terribly long, we really enjoy driving down to the Tucson area. We did what we came to do and we enjoyed our time doing it. The desert was in bloom and the food and drink was flowing- what more can you ask for?

STEP SIX: Planning out the wedding details

So, you sent out your save the dates, invitations, and travel information. Your guests are sending in their RSVPs and booking their travel. Now is the time for you to focus on the details! While you may have been working with your resort’s wedding coordinator all along, once you have an accurate head count, you can now plan and secure some of the finer details.

First and foremost, if you haven’t done so already, work with your coordinator to complete any paperwork required to marry in your destination!! In my situation, I had to provide certified copies of our birth certificates, our divorce decrees, and a completed, notarized form! Also, you may have already worked with the coordinator to choose flowers, vows, decor for your ceremony and reception, and music options for the ceremony and reception.  These items are things that can be done almost immediately after booking. However, once you have your head count, you can more accurately plan for meal choices for the reception, where the ceremony will be held (some places can be considered or eliminated once you have a head count), and reception venues. A lot of resorts that cater to destination weddings have many options to choose from for ceremonies and receptions, but depending on the size of your group, you may be limited to only a few. Outside of anything having to do with the resort or destination, be sure to keep up with buying a dress, wedding bands, accessories, or any bridesmaids/groomsmen essentials. Many destination wedding couples also provide guest bags to their group to help them get settled into their rooms. For example, if you choose a tropical island for your wedding, it may be nice to provide the guests with a small bottle of sunscreen, inexpensive flip flops, or some local trinkets.

Admittedly, I have it pretty easy when it comes to planning the details! The resort provided me a checklist to complete, and since it’s only the two of us attending, it was a fairly simple to nail down the details. The checklist included sections to choose flowers, ceremony sites, reception venues, cake flavors, and any ceremony and reception decor. I also requested photos from previous weddings to see examples of the resort’s work. When I returned the completed form, I provided pictures to the coordinator so she knew exactly what I was thinking. I recommend that every bride and groom do the same! Our ceremony celebrant also provided us with instructions and forms to apply for a marriage license. As I mentioned above, the Australian government required a lot of information from us. Not every destination is like that, however, be prepared to provide a scanned copy of your passport and your birth certificates at the very least.
