I'm finally starting to narrow down resorts and have narrowed it to Barcelo Maya or Gran Porto Real. I'm looking for a resort that have sister resorts to accomodate different budgets. I want to have a simple beach ceremony and hopefully a somewhat private reception with dancing. What do you all think? Which one has a prettier beach and clearer sands? Do you guys have any information on thse two places? Thanks!

We booked at the Barcelo Maya Tropical. We have done some research on our own, and a lot of the information was provided by our TA. The Barcelo complex is comprised of 5 hotels: Palace Deluxe, Tropical, Colonial, Beach and Caribe.

 

The Palace Deluxe is the most recent built complex, and also the most expensive. If you stay here, you have access to all 5 hotels, the restaurants, pools, etc, and I believe you also get premium liquor. "Stay at one, play at 5"

 

The Tropical and Colonial are sister complexes. You can use all the amenities of each and also have access to the Beach and Caribe. Stay at one, play at 4". You cannot access the Palace Deluxe without paying a day pass.

 

The complexes that were first established were the Beach and Caribe. Sister complexes and you can go inbetween only these two resorts. It is the cheaper of the lot, but you can only go the restaurants and pools of the Beach and Caribe if staying here. "Stay at one, play at two"

 

I emailed my wedding coordinator to inquire just how much the day pass is- I heard it was in the range of $100pp for the day.... and there may even be a time restriction on the "day" pass. We are planning to party well into the night, so for some of our guests not staying at the hotel, we hope they don't have to leave too early.

 

Hope this helps, and happy planning

      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!
