Photographer recommendation?
There is one at the resort. They have a 15mn package where you don't pay for session, only for the photos if you end up buying them, and iirc it wasn't much money. They also have longer sessions for pay.

I haven't used them myself but you can check their work at their booth, lobby of west building

Any DP if they will give the breakfast credit for both rooms since they are both under my name- I’m reading online that they will only give credit for one room.

They won't give for the 2nd room.
So just apply a GOH for the 2nd room

Sorry if I wasn’t clear - I applied 2 certificates 1 for each room. Will they give me 2 breakfast credits or will they say it’s only for the room you are personally in and will only give 1 credit?

The certificate is applied to the room, not to its owner. So you'll be fine

Heads up- I used the $1k credit towards dining and also received a $170 dining comp from the casino. I had about $1500 in dining charges. Somehow on my final bill I was charged $340 more than my expected balance.

From the folio it seems like they may have deducted my points credit by exactly $170 (only shows  $830 used yet all 65k points are gone) and then charged my CC another $170 on top of that to pay the balance. In short - they didn’t apply the casino comp, and reduced my points dining credit by $170 leaving me $340 short.

Trying to sort it out with the hotel but they haven’t been helpful. Just pay attention to make sure the bill adds up because it can get confusing.

Trying to reserve Cinko for a few weeks from now and only shows availability from 8pm and on.   So people just book out the place? Would they accept walk ins earlier for 2 people?  Or shouldn't bank on it?

Thanks

These are peak weeks and people book well in advance. Don't bank on it, but you can try to walk-in. Expect to wait a while.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

I had success by emailing them. Also, someone opened a WA group for ppl looking to cancel or change so they could transfer it.

Just making sure, can anyone eat at the kosher restaurants at the Baha Mar even if they are not staying at the hotel?
