Cait's Valentin Imperial Maya/Sascha Gluck/Blue Lens Caribe Review!


Recommended Posts

You won't regret your choice-the Valentin is amazing!  I'd definitely recommend the Once in a Lifetime package-it was definitely worth the extra money.  The big things that are included in the Once in a Lifetime that aren't in the others are the DVD of the ceremony, couple's dinner on the beach, massages and body wraps (amazing!), and the Mexican trio.  We're so glad we chose this package!

 

The only thing that they charged extra for at the ceremony was the hupa-it was around $400, which we thought was ridiculous, but paid it anyways.  Aside from our upgrade, this was the only thing we actually paid extra for-everything else was included in the package.  We did bring almost all of the decorations though, chair sashes, ceremony fans, sand ceremony stuff, everything for the reception...it was a lot.

 

The emerald room is beautiful.  I've never been in a golden suite, but I'm sure it's just as lovely. We like the emerald because it has this view:

and it has this jacuzzi:

I visited a swim up room, and just a regular junior deluxe room, and they were both beautiful.  I have more pictures of the emerald room if you'd like to see!

 

Best of luck planning your wedding-let me know if I can help you answer any more questions!

Oh and your photos are beautiful and congratulations on your marriage.  I'm so glad that everything turned out perfect for you guys.

Thanks again!

 

 

 

Sure thing!

 

This is my inspiration picture I sent the Valentin:

Here is the best picture I could find of my bouquet (with my maid of honor's too):

The Valentin did a great job-the flowers looked exactly like the pictures I had sent, very simple and elegant.

Awesome, thank you so much Cait for posting those.  The resort did do a great job and I think I might steal your pic because it is exactly like I was picturing too.  This forum is such a big help, I'm so glad I found it and it's so nice of you to help all of us who are still in the planning stage  :)

    • 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!
