Thanks @@chelseapaige37! Congrats! You looked beautiful as did the wedding. Very helpful! Question about the catamaran- was the swim very hard to the beach? My moms not a good swimmer hope they have life jackets. How was the food on it? What activities did u do on it-any snorkeling or kayaking? I can't wait for it!

 

To the wedding etc- anything you wish you would have brought or regret besides what you said ? What did the guests use most in the oot bags?

Thank you! As for the Catamaran - have you added AllyCat on Facebook? They take a million photos from each trip they do and post them as albums. They swim was not difficult, and we all had lifevest to hold onto (they werent really ones to wear - more like U shaped floating devices). The swim could get tricky depending on the tide though - sometimes, if its very high, you really have to swim while holding your arms above your head so you dont bang your head on the cave rocks. Nobody in my group is an expert swimmer and all did fine. There were a few who basically couldn't swim, so they stayed on the boat. I was debating going to Yelapa instead so that everyone had the opportunity to get off the boat - it might have been a better choice, but I chose Mariettas. The food was good - nothing overly special - it was chicken fajitas, rice and beans - all tasted like something I would make at home. They also served Chips, guac and pico de gallo which was delicious!

 

I personally didnt snorkel, but a bunch of my group did - they did see fish - some neat ones, but its not like the Mayan. I kayaked, paddle boarded and swam. It was enough activity for us.

 

Honestly, my guests didnt really provide much feedback on the OOT bags - they were all very thankful though. I would guess the hangover kits and after sun were the biggest hits. I know I appreciated the leftovers from the hangover kits :)

 

I do not regret bringing anything. I also did stuff for the kids - pails, shovels, glow sticks, treats, lip balm. If i could have found a good way to bring pails and shovels I would have - they were really pricey in PV. I should have brought extra ribbon with me - I couldnt find the colors I wanted there.

 

I meant to have a more organized binder of wedding stuff - like the seating plan, meals, arrivals etc. I ran out of time to put this together and thought I was ok because I had it on email - but the internet there was a nightmare.. I should have known better, but just didnt do it. If I were to do it again, I would have actually done it along the way instead of saying "oh i should put this in a binder..."

 

Honestly, nothing is standing out that I wish I would have brought - we were pretty organized with our packing. We found laundry in a plaza across from the hotel and did laundry three times while we there - they washed, dryed and folded it, priced on weight. It was like $10 each time and we had a hockey bag full every time.

 

I was going to write a second blog post about tips on planning based on my experience... I just havent done it yet :S

      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!
