Villa el Cantico Best Ocean View - $6,000-$12,000/week
This five star villa is flanked by the rain forest overlooking the Pacific ocean in Costa Rica's amazing wedding location, Manuel Antonio. This is my favourite coastal location in Costa Rica because it is home to a ton of wildlife, the beaches are pristine and the sea is great for a very good snorkle. This vacation private estate was developed for people who want a deluxe wedding destination. This private estate is perfect for a smaller wedding with under 20 guests.

Punto de Vista is a brand new private villa that is gated on 2.5 acres of untouched jungle.

What makes these rooms unique is the locally produced organic bath products and rain showers. Looking to entertain your guests on the dance floor? Introducing a ballroom-disco off the pool terrace and main level bar. There is also a covered dining terrace and a bar with panoramic views. This estate is equipped with Every thing, including an open-air roof outdoor patio with bar and a jacuzzi. Oh... and did I mention it is also equipped with a movie theatre?

The vacation resort has an outstanding full service Spa. You will find this luxurious resort nestled one thousand feet above the Arenal Valley on a mountain ridge north of the active but safe Arenal volcano. The Arenal town has a cooler temperature since it's in a higher altitute, which makes it a perfect location for a wedding ceremony if you have elderly guests who don't want a lot of heat and humidity. At night, your guests will be treated to a natural fireworks show when the volcano is usually its most active.
