paulinena, me and my fh did some site visiting at several hotels last fri for our ROM venue and amara was one of them.
There's no doubt dat the poolside is nice, package is ok...BUT i tot the wedding planner whom we met up wif cud hv done a better job wif a tad more enthusiasm! As the usual saying "First impression counts"...wif dat kind of "enthusiasm" in securing this deal...no matter how value-4-$ the package is, i cud anticipate the kind of help extended by this wedding planner when our ROM approaches.
firstly, the wedding planner. Din bother to offer much info on own initiative...had to keep probing to get the info dat is crucial. Doesn't appear to be very keen wif our biz.
secondly, this hotel is rigid wif their deposit thingy. if for some reason the rom date changes, deposit forfeited. a new deposit is required for the new date!
thirdly, their current ROM package price will b INCREASING. new package is ready but yet to release for some reason...may b out nex wk, nex mth...wedding planer's lips r tight. but price confirm INCREASE. (Is it bcos they noe dat their packages r popular??)
subsequently we visited a hotel dat has MORE stars than Am***, no airs! And u need not guess..they got our biz!
P.S. how abt ur wedding planner?
