Here are my favourite destinations: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.
