Where do I begin??? As a bride, planning a wedding is beyond stressful ESPECIALLY from overseas. However, I can 100% say with absolutely certainty that the Westin Reserva Conchal was the BEST decision I've ever made in my whole life! They made planning my wedding so easy and they went above and beyond for everything!!! Milady was my wedding planner and I feel like she's family! Don't hesitate. Pick this vendor! You definitely won't be disappointed!

We hosted our welcome party, rehearsal dinner, and wedding at El Mangroove in February 2025 and had the most wonderful experience. Paola and her team were incredibly professional & couldn't do enough for us and our group of over 100 guests. Both us and our guests thought the value was 10/10. The quality of service & the food were standouts for us. Highly recommend hosting at this property!

A Dream Venue for Intimate & Luxury Weddings – Villa Ocaso As a wedding planner with many years in the industry, I’ve had the privilege of working at some of the most beautiful venues around the country. Villa Ocaso in Flamingo Beach, Costa Rica, truly stands out as one of the most exceptional. I recently planned an intimate wedding here for one of my clients, and the experience exceeded every expectation. What makes Villa Ocaso unique is that the owner herself is a former wedding planner with 15+ years of experience and a background in the luxury hotel industry, including Four Seasons. She has thoughtfully designed every detail of this 9-bedroom villa to combine the refined service and polish of a luxury hotel with the warmth, privacy, and character of a private villa. There is no villa like it in Costa Rica. Beyond its breathtaking architecture and ocean views, Villa Ocaso seamlessly weaves in the traditions and culture of the country, so guests never feel separated from the authentic Costa Rican experience—even while surrounded by the luxury of a world-class property. The service is equally exceptional. The staff, concierge, and butler team deliver the kind of attentive hospitality you would expect at a five-star resort, but with the intimacy and flexibility that only a private villa can provide. For weddings, Villa Ocaso is a dream. It offers versatile spaces for rehearsal dinners, ceremonies, poolside receptions, and post-wedding brunches. My clients felt at home yet completely pampered, and every guest commented on how the villa created a perfect blend of luxury and authenticity. As a planner, I deeply appreciate how much thought has gone into making Villa Ocaso a wedding-ready venue—from logistics and flow to curated guest experiences. It’s rare to find a property where the owner truly understands both the hospitality and event side of weddings, and that’s what makes this place so special. For couples looking for a luxury destination wedding in Costa Rica, Villa Ocaso is an unforgettable choice.

It was truly an amazing experience especially since it was a destination wedding. Priscila made the process easier she was very responsive and the staff was so friendly. My family loved Enrique who is part of the staff and Priscila. She blew my mind with exceptional service. I would love to go back and relive it all. Artflower for the decorations and flowers. Shadesoucphotography for photography. Jenny cakes for the cake. DJ Enrique for music and entertainment.

First off, I would like to thank everyone at Tierra Magnifica for their fantastic hospitality. The chef, the owners, wait staff, everyone was above and beyond our expectations. With the help of Erika (co-owner), we were able to plan a ceremony exactly as I had in mind. She was very easy to talk to and was super responsive. She handled planning the flowers, arch/decorations and it was absolutely beautiful. The chef also took my husband's dietary restrictions and planned a 5 course meal just for us and a cake that he made which was wonderful. The owners were just so wonderful to work with and the venue is breathtaking. We can't wait to come back and would highly recommend this location!

My wife, Vel, and I celebrated our wedding reception at Castillo de Lilo on Monday, February 5, 2024. Marco & Ericka went above & beyond. Vel & I originally wanted a typical Costa Rican dinner, and they provided us with a complimentary dinner sampling when we came to scout the locations in August of 2023. We decided to scrap that idea and go with a hybrid of their menu options. Marco is a top chef! On the evening of our wedding reception, Vel and I had planned to change outfits, but I forgot to add them to the transport pile, so only my black slacks made it. I can only blame myself for that error! Vel, in a panic, I assume, said I would come out shirtless. I knew that that was how I would end the night, but Ericka wasn't having it, so she immediately took me to Marco's work closet and grabbed me a dress shirt. What a lifesaver! The dress shirt you can see me wearing in the pics I've added is Marco's, and it looks fabulous! Vel & I were also having issues with our wire transfer, so Ericka came to where we stayed with a credit card reader to get it done. Once again, thank you! Vel & I highly recommend Castillo de Lilo, Marco, and Ericka!

We had our wedding here in February and by the time we left, the entire hotel staff was giving us hugs as we departed. Our coordinator, Ale was truly an angel. She was kind, attentive, and sincere. No wedding comes without its fair share of roadblocks, but Alejandra made the process feel seamless and easy. In addition, all of their vendor recommendations were excellent. From the flowers and decor, to our incredible DJ Diego Salas, we received so many compliments about the experience. Our guests constantly told us they could feel the love at our celebration. Costa Rica is a beautiful place and Andaz is another addition to its charm. Can’t thank the staff enough. We will be back soon!

We rented mango y mono for our wedding back in April of 2024. We opted to not utilize a planner and coordinate all meals, ceremony, excursions on our own with the direct venue host. I cannot say enough how tremendous this team made our big day. Not only did they make planning easy, they delivered seamless and smooth service. I myself have worked as a GM of a hotel so I am well versed in how wonderful this kind of booking can go, and just how easily it can go wrong. I booked this venue without seeing anything in person (photos only) and without tasting the food that my guests would be eating all weekend. I was certain one would be good and the other maybe just ok but I was wrong, everything exceeding expectations. I cannot say enough incredible things about this team. My friends frequently discuss when will we plan to return to mango y mono just to enjoy more life together. I am certain we will return in the future.
