Travel to Manuel Antonio

Recommended Posts

My fiance and I love MA, and we have a relative who owns property there. That said, we are concerned about having older guests (i.e. grandparents) making the trip. Does anyone have experience with this issue? Any thoughts would be appreciated...Thanks!

It's definitely doable, but it probably won't be fun if your grandparents have a hard time getting around. It partially depends on how you're traveling. Are you taking buses/shuttle or renting vehicles? The flight is long too of course, but at least you can break it up if you need to.

 

What in particular are you concerned about? I originally hoped my 90 year old grandpa would come to my wedding, but now I'm sort of hoping he won't (we're getting married near Uvita, south of MA). I know he'd be able to do it, but he'll be exhausted I'm sure, and I also worry that he'll be bored. There are a lot of fun things to do in CR, but I know my grandpa will be unable to do any tours, or even really walk the beach. It doesn't seem like it's worth him making the trip just to be bored and frustrated, and I also worry that he'll fall or get sick.

 

I guess one of the main concerns is where specifically you're staying. If you're staying somewhere that's easy for elderly people to get around, and where there's something for them to do, then I think it would be fine.

 

Anyways, I don't have any actual experience with having grandparents in CR, so I'd be curious to see if anyone has done it too. I guess this sort of thing is one downside to a DW :S

Hey There!

 

I am also getting married in Manuel Antonio and having been there before, I know the drive is pretty scary.

 

Nature Air offers daily flights to Quepos, which is a short drive to M.A. The flight is 30 min and costs around 70.00 USD. This is what I'm suggesting for my older and less adventurous guests. Although they are small planes, which I know scare some people.

 

Good Luck and happy planning!

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
