A natural paradise with something for everyone - that's probably the easiest way to describe Costa Rica. In the aptly named Garden of the Americas you can choose a vacation on a tropical beach, an encounter with nature among volcanoes and rainforests, or a cultural experience of museums, craft markets, and cafes. You can hike, ride horseback or mountain bike, soak in a hot spring, golf at a Robert Trent Jones course, go deep-sea fishing or sea kayaking and do all that on one trip! To match the diversity of things to do, we have an equally wide variety of places for you to stay, from rustic rainforest lodges to full-featured beachfront resorts. Destinationweddings.com works with all resorts and wedding coordinators in Costa Rica that offer many different wedding packages, including beach weddings. For more information on resorts, wedding coordinators and packages, please speak with your Destination Wedding Specialist.
