Top 5 Costa Rica Honeymoon Destinations

Our job as destination wedding & honeymoon planners tends to exceed the act of simply planning and orchestrating the actual event. We are our clients eyes and ears on the ground in Costa Rica and this is a job that we take very seriously. In an effort to become a complete resource for our clients, we constantly travel the country to uncover the most beautiful and romantic honeymoon locations. We tend to prefer smaller and more intimate hotels ourselves, which is reflected in our selections. Here are our top five.

1.) Tabacon Grand Spa Thermal Resort: Our reservation office is located near this gorgeous hot springs resort. The suites are breath taking. The rooms are all well appointed with all of the luxury amenities of a 5 star hotel including a large Jacuzzi soaking tub, quality king sized bed and gorgeous furnishings. What really sets this hotel apart from others, however, is its location. As you might gather from its name, Tabacon Grand Spa Thermal Resort contains some of the most gorgeous hot springs on the planet. The resort is situated in the shadow of Arenal Volcano. Arenal is one of the 10 most active volcanos in the world. On a clear night, the volcano can be seen spewing fire and ash from its crater.

2.) Andaz Peninsula Papagayo is considered one of the best new hotels in the world. The magazine Condé Nast Traveler published the 2014 Hot List in which only 33 out of 400 new hotels are mentioned as the bests.This list represents the tastes and preferences of the modern traveler, and Andaz Peninsula Papagayo, the first Andaz in Latin America, have captured the attention of most travelers and tourists that want to travel to Costa Rica.
Nestled in a location that is second to none, where the Gulf of Papagayo meets the sapphire blue waters of Culebra Bay, Andaz Peninsula Papagayo Costa Rica arrives to personify Costa Rica’s “Pura Vida” (pure life) expression, an extension of the native spirit of the country.
