Hubby had them & we had no probs.
Have fun! We are scheduled to go in Aug to CSS for our anniv 16th :cool:
Yes, I do. I have a pair of nice Born closed toed sandals, they look really nice.
I have worn that combination many times in the past. You should be fine.
you will be fine I wore open toe sandals to feathers and lemon grass
That will be just fine.
The simple answer is actually no. I was very surprised, when I showed a girl that worked at Feathers, the dress closed toe leather sandals (new) that I was wearing and she told me that they were unacceptable besause my heels would show. You have to bring actual dress shoes. There is no solution other than this.
It seems really dumb, but them's the rules apparently. If it is a big deal, then just don't bother with Feathers. I wore them at all of the others except Lemongrass and I didn't ask at Lemongrass.
The other restaurants are all fine and sufficiently classy, that skipping Feathers is not that big of a loss in my opinion.
The dress code states "closed toed shoes" "dress shoes".
Use your own judgement on whether you call them "DRESS SHOES".
While I sincerely doubt that staff or management would refuse you service, it becomes a matter of how far people want to push the limits of dress attire.
Ask yourself if you would consider them suitable for formal wear.
All my shoes are open toed. Does this mean I won't be allowed into the formal restaurant. I mean, come on, its Jamaica!:p
As long as they are closed toed they sound OK
Nope.
If they are truly "closed toed" they are probably alright.
There was a guy with flip flops, cargo shorts and a Hawaiian shirt in one last week so I would say it's probably ok.
It isn't at the formal offerings.Quote:

The boards seem to have a disproportionate amount of post around dress code. Yet the FAQ seems to clearly state dress code.
If there is a clear FAQ why are there so many conflicting posts about dress code.? int he above thread alone there are 180 degree comments on the same topic so what is true and what is not
What is the penalty if for some reason you are in violation of the stated dress code? I have to assume you would simply be turned away and left to eat somewhere else is this the case ? or is there some public flogging the next morning . I know i would hate ot see my picture next to the daily activities as the dress code violator ( think old school post office wanted picture)
any help on this simple yet as per boards very complex issue
When we were there last year they did send a man away to change. He left and came back with something else on so yes it is enforced! Worse case if you are told no then oh well go to one of the other resturants and eat. You wont go hungry. It is ONLY feathers that has this severe dress code. Other resturants nice cargo and nice sandals are fine.We enjoyed our meal there, but it didnt make or break our trip. The food was great at each place we ate!
We have been to Couples 5 times. My husband has a pair of closed toe sandals with the back also enclosed. He has never been asked to change.
The man I was talking about wore the same outfit to Feathers and the repeaters dinner. Not sure what the dress code is for that dinner but everyone else was very dressed up.Quote:

They all have a common statement>>>> Resort Attire-Jeans, sneakers, flip flops and shorts are not permitted
There is a dress code and with all due respect to the resort I don't think it is a big thing for us, the guests, to comply with their request. Sure you will find some that push the limits but there is a dress code.

I have been going to Couples for a long time and have always wore open toes heals to the formal restaurants. I agree with Melody that it is moer enforced with men than women. Aa long as the women are on dress shoes and and not a form or flip flop then I don't see it being a problem. My shoes were actually open in the front and back. I think it is acking a lot to require women to wear that sort of closed shoe a summer dress in the carribean. I think it is more of a judgement call.
:confused: Nobody is asking women to wear a closed shoe in the CaribbeanQuote:

WandA, tru dat. The closed toe shoe rule is for men. Women still have to adhere to the no flip-flops or sneakers requirement. But ladies are welcome in sandals or other open shoes. I suppose as long as they are not too raunchy looking anyway. I have seen men turned away from Feathers with sneakers and sandals that exposed a little too much of their foot. Likewise, I have seen them turned away in jeans as well. It is not all that strict a code folks. There are places here at home that require coat and tie, that is what I consider a "dress code". Shoes and long pants is not asking that much. But that's just me.
No, they don't say women have to wear closed toed shoes, just men. It just says semi-formal for women. Women can wear sandals as long a they are dressy.Quote:

Men only has to adhear to the shoe dress code, the women are alowed to wera open toe shoe and or sandals as long as they are semi formal no flip flops or chanklas.
