I just found this site this week and so wish I had found it a month ago when i first started doing research!  I am also feeling less alone about being stressed out!  I picked the destination wedding because it seemed less stressful than planning one at home - right now I'm not so sure that's the case!  

 

I've been all over the place trying to find the right resort for us.  I was originally thinking Azul Sensatori, but was really struggling with the guest rates - about $700 per per person for 3 nights.  The TA recommended NOW Jade as a slightly lower cost alternative (around $600) and she also mentioned Sandox Caracol.  I was all in for NOW Jade, but my fiance got excited about Sandos Caracol.  There don't seem to be many recent reviews of it here.  Can anyone help out?  We are bringing my fiances boys with us to the wedding - 13 and 16, but i don't many other people are going to bring their kids and it seems like Sandos is very family focused?  

 

Thoughts? Recommendations?  How did others find people responding the cost?  I had a bit of sticker shock, but i've never done and all-inclusive before.  I will say, it's frustrating they don't have a teen rate - we have to pay adult rates for his kids - that's why i'm not sure that anyone else will bring their kids unless they are little because its so much.  

 

Thanks for any help!

Congratulations and Happy Planning!!

Choosing the resort was the hardest part for me! I was only looking at adults only locations so I had a smaller list and it was still super tough!!

Have you tried comparing their reviews on tripadvisor?

Another useful site I have found is oyster.com they post unbiased photos of resorts but unfortunately they don't have a ton of results.

Good luck!!

      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!
