Costa Rica

Real Honeymoon | October 04, 2012

I’d so delighted to share this honeymoon in Costa Rica with you!

Bonnie and Brett wanted a place with sunny beaches, but also the opportunity for adventure. I knew just where to send them, Costa Rica! It was exciting for them visit a country they had never been to and where Bonnie could practice her Spanish!

Straight from the source: We just competely loved the people, as well as the amazing scenery: Arenas del Mar, which overlooked the beautiful western coast of Costa Rica, and El Silencio, which sat in a valley surrounded by the rainforest covered mountains of the country’s central region. We were spoiled at every turn, and were constantly surprised by the level of service provided.

Honeymoon tips: We would tell other couples to go in with open minds and really try to soak in the culture of the place you visit. Get to know the people, the food, the language and the culture so you’ll feel like you really appreciated every moment of your trip. Our decision to rent a car helped us take in everything at our own pace and definitely added the element of adventure.

Adventure & wildlife galore: We loved our hike through Manuel Antonio National Park, where we were able to search for animals (e.g. white faced monkeys, three-toed sloths, etc.), plants and flora so unlike anything either of us had seen. We took every “off the beaten path” hiking path we could find and really felt like we were discovering the park on our own!

Upgrade me! They received a honeymoon welcome at Arenas del Mar when they came back from dinner to chocolate strawberries, candles everywhere and rose petals on the bed. At El Silencio, they received a free massage and a special honeymoon welcome note.

From one pair of newlyweds to the next, if you’re looking for “Unique, beautiful and tranquil” Costa Rica was made for you! Let’s talk and I’ll tailor a honeymoon just for you!
