Hi everyone! I am trying to decide whether to have my wedding at a small hotel, or rent a private villa. Right now, I have decided on either a private villa at Hacienda Pinilla, or some boutique hotels- Bosque del Mar or Bahia del Sol. I'm also considering Diria Tamarindo even though it's a bit larger. Does anyone have any information on those hotels, or opinions on doing a hotel wedding vs. a private villa wedding? Any info would be much appreciated!

I lived in Costa Rica for 6 months a year ago and I can highly recommend the Tamarindo Diria!! The resort is beautiful and unique and you can walk into town...there's great excursions available and even though its more westernized than other Costa Rican options, it's still a great place. Depending on your familiarity with Costa Rica (and your guests' familiarity) you may want to stay here just for the simple fact that it is slightly more westernized than other options! Costa Rica is a pain to travel in thanks to their roads (or lack thereof) and you're smart to get married around that area because you have the option of flying into the airport near there vs. San Jose and driving forever to get there. Let me know if you have any other questions...I can try and help you...I have a friend who owns a bar in Tamarindo as well.

Hi Billandstina! Thank you so much for your reply. We ended up deciding to go with a private villa instead, since we really wanted to maintain that intimacy factor at our reception. We also felt we'd have more customization options in terms of food, decor, etc. However...I will highly recommend the Diria to any guests who are not staying at the villa. FI and I have been to Costa Rica, as have my sister and her husband, so some of us are okay with going a bit more off the beaten path. I still wanted to have options for those who were a little less adventurous though. Thanks again!

No problem!! Glad I could help! ;) Can't wait to see pics from your wedding! Another fun thing at the Diria is they have a webcam with live broadcast so you can go stand on the beach right there and wave at your friends! Lol! My mom called me when I was sunbathing there and told me what I was wearing (she knew we were staying there)...freaked me out...til I looked up and saw the camera! Lol! She was able to watch Bill taking surf lessons all the way from Texas...hysterical! Lol! When you go into town I may ask you to look at the name of an amazing macramé jewelry store on the Main Street past the Diria on the left. I can't for the life of me remember the name of it and I can't find it online! Lol!

      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!
