My family and I vacationed at the Riu Santa Fe and loved it!  I sent my best friend there and she had a blast! One of my co-workers, who is 80 years old, just came back from the Santa Fe yesterday, on my recommendation and she loved it too!  This is why we are having our wedding there in Oct 2011. 

 

It is a more casual environment than the Palace, more laid back and more fun.  You can go over to the Place to check it out but you won't be able to use their amenities if you are staying at the Santa Fe.  I have heard that the WC can be tricky to get a hold of but I have heard that about other hotels as well.  If your family is picky give them the option of staying at either hotel, but I do know that the Santa Fe is cheaper all around if you are at all being budget conscience for your guests. 

 

We are going there in the spring to check everything out, since my fiancé has never been.  We are taking our parents too so they can be involved before the big day.  We are expecting a large number of guests and the Santa seems to be very accommodating, so says our travel agent! 

 

Hope that helps!!

I'm trying to decide the same thing so thanks for starting this thread! I think Riu Palace is considered half a star higher than Santa Fe. But I have heard both are good. I'm leaning towards the palace as well, for the same reason you listed above-that guests can use both resorts if you stay at the palace. I heard the santa fe is a bit more lively so at first I wanted to go there because I have quite a few friends that like to 'partay'. After thinking about it, I am wondering if my older guests would like the quieter atmosphere at the palace and us young ones can still go over to santa fe to the bars at night if it is too quiet at the palace. Anyways, good luck with your decision, keep me posted with what you decide!

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      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!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      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!
