This is the “ perfect” canvas for your dreamed wedding !!

There are some hidden spots in this country that are not only “The perfect location “ for a wedding, a very romantic experience where you can enjoy the best meals and great service,  but also , inspiration for all of us to achieve the perfect balance.

Life is simple, a smile and a dream is all we need to start every day, and visitors to  Punta Islita will witness a very unique and valuable arrangement  among , nature, community and development that proves  that working together  is possible, and everyone involved will win, they have a very successful tourism business  being 100% sustainable and  environmental friendly , where every  member of the local community has obtain a direct or indirect benefit.

It was a marvelous experience touring around and learning about their concept. We were very lucky to have a very knowledgeable person with us, the manager Mr. Alonso Bermudez, who experienced the success himself, starting at front desk 10 years ago and today, a happy and commitment general manager.

The most impressive thing was the art museum, a project where every local member of the community has been able to express themselves.  This initiative has proven that every human has something to say , and one of the best ways to do it through the art, artesian, painters,  jewelry, sculptors, every corner of the town breath art, colors, and this has create a wonderful mood in the people , proud ladies,  happy children, communicating their cultural roots through very artistic pieces, that the hotel , not only display , but buys and sales every day, contributing strongly to feed the “belly’s of the families, but also their souls and spirits, what a wonderful idea !!

Fisherman, drivers, organic coffee producers, farmers, waiters, cookers, the population of 1300 people is involved in the tourism business, directly or indirectly.

When adults are busy working, children are well taking care of at the  Punta Islita Children Center,  a social investment with clear benefits for both parties, and of course, where the future administrators are being trained.

We saw happy faces, all committed to the same goal, offer  an outstanding service  to the hotel guest, in a responsible way, protecting the environment, investing in human resources and  giving back !

The owners of Punta Islita take their  tasks to a different level,  something that you can confirm by visiting their recycling center , a complete circle of reutilizing that involves every aspect and every employer at the hotel. It has taken years of education and training, but it has paid off, every inch of “waste” goes to a better use.

The best of all of this inspirational success is the “A” class tourist product they offer; Punta Islita is simple-luxury, is pampering, is a party for all your sense, great cuisine, professional spa, elegant rooms, breathtaking views , fun activities, it has everything you need to enjoy a family vacations or the most romantic honeymoon!

Their loans by the beach, the tropical palapa receiving the ocean breeze, the colors of the town, the cute chapel , the beach, the rustic charm of their facilities makes this site the perfect one for your dreamed Wedding.

In terms of accommodation, they offer rustic comfort at their 3 categories of rooms Deluxe, suites and Casitas, and great deal of space and convenience at the villas and houses available for groups wanting to stay together.

Other activities such of golf, fishing, canopy, hiking, surfing available too, making this location, a fun place to stay !

I know you have a smile on your face now reading through , I do, just by remember the time we spent there, I invite you to go , to live the experience and if you are looking for the perfect wedding spot, we highly recommend you to consider Punta Islita, hand by hand with their professional staff , we will be able to recreate every dream you have for your Wedding !!

 

A WONDERFUL BED & BREAKFAST IN PLAYA NOSARA .

When we travel to the different wedding locations, from time to time, we find  “little treasures”, a great restaurant , a lovely beach, hidden hotel with friendly local staff,   a special place with special people, and this is what we can say about Nosara Bed & Breakfast, we stayed with them for 2 nights, during our recent visit to Nosara.

Deborah received  us, along with Pituka, her sweet dog, she brought us a delicious fruit juice and gave us a tour of her property,  we saw the gardens, the fruit trees,  the different rooms available, the house, and the many great ideas she is  developing for the future, and then we went to our room, simple, peaceful, clean, convenient .

We liked, it is a real, natural, peaceful, quiet,  the whole place makes you feel in a very safe place…

The first night, we went to bed early anticipating a long day of work with the wedding ahead of us the next day, but the next morning, we realized what was so special about this bed and breakfast…

I comment to my husband, everywhere we looked, we  have green, nature, animals, flowers, trees, after a day of being there, it feels like being part of the jungle, it embraces you and takes you to a very  wonderful place of comfort and relaxation !

We felt recharged and easy !

Deborah and her partner Michael have done a great job , keeping the place sweet and simple, when your soul needs to slow down  , and you want to center yourself again, this is a great location to do so.

The property offers easy access path to the beach of Pelada and relaxing trails for walking …

Her rates are really affordable and she offers a healthy fresh breakfast with a smile.

Not tv, not air conditioning, not luxury items, and yet, we did not need it at  all, the comfortable living space outside the rooms at the tree house, was the perfect site for enjoyable conversation

The manager, lovely French young girl, kristelle, would be able to help  with anything you need, bookings, tours, transportation, or just a good recommendation for dinning. The place counts with WI FI, so when you disconnect from “real world” you can easily hock up again if you have to…

I am glad I get to meet all of them and I am happy to recommend this hidden eco lodge to green

 lovers !!

Chiara & John

I had the pleasure of assisting Chiara and John in planning their wedding at the hotel RIU in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. Surrounded by about 40 of the couple’s closed family and friends, Chiara and John said their vows in a Catholic Mass at  the cutest little wedding chapel in the nearby town of ‘Nuevo Colon’

 Then it was back to the hotel RIU to start the celebration. Cocktail hour on the beach and a sunset photo session, dinner at Toscana; the Riu’s Italian restaurant, cake and dancing around the pool.

 What an wonderful group of people! You could definitely feel the love and support for John & Chiara.  Chiara’s sister and maid of honor, gave one of the sweetest toasts, not a dry eye in sight and no doubt about their bond.

 I want to thank John & Chiara for allowing me to be a part of this amazing day in their lives. It truly was a great day.  Chiara’s mother said to me “I cannot believe all this can be accomplished through email” ha ha. That made my day.

Thanks for sharing your day with us! Best of luck!

Wedding Luau

Good Morning!

We want to thank Ashley and Jay for the great opportunity of being part of their wedding day!  We really enjoyed meeting all of their family and guests, very layback people, ready to enjoy  life!
They wanted a beach luau and we made it happen at the beach garden of Karahe, the white lanterns, white linen combined with the bright colors of the tropical flowers gave a wonderful effect.

The couple, and  their guests danced and laughed all night long. It was amazing!

S night full of surprises with funny videos, amazing fireworks , lots of champagne and lots of LOVE IN the AIR !!

Thank you Ashley and Jay for making us a part of your special day! Best of luck!

It has been two months into 2011 and it has been great ! I did not have an event on New Years , so I had a wonderful time with my family, enjoyed a delicious dinner at El Avion and went to see the fireworks in town. The next day we did a wedding together, and  as they say, whatever you do on the first day of the New year is what you carry on doing the rest year, looks like I am lucky,  because I will do the two things I live the most : spend time with my family and do weddings !!

What matters in life at the end of the day is family, I treasure and love mine. Sofia and Gary are my  friends, my support , my warm place. 

When a couple gets married they are starting a new family, 2 people joining their  lives, one home,  one goal, children,   one soul….

thanks to all the couples that has allowed us to witness the magical moment of the beginning of a New Family and thank you to the ones that will do in 2011 !

We will have magical moments at the beach, at the mountains, lots of  sunsets, monkeys, birds, breeze,  bright sun on our faces and shoulders, sand in our feet, rain at some time of the year, but most of all , Love for each other’s and our families and friends !!

Please enjoy the pics of the first wedding of 2011

Rachel and Luke , they met in Manuel Antonio, a few years ago, when they came for Spanish lesson and decide to say I DO to love  and family on the first day of the year ! Congratulations to both of them !



Hello everybody!!

We did a wedding last January and the couple wanted  to say I do on the first day of the year! We had an amazing time. All the best to the married couple.
