I decided to just pull the trigger and book Punto de Vista! I am not going to lie... it was terrifying and its so hard for me not to get on google to make sure I got the best deal possible. (I don't know why that would make me feel better because I would either waste hours confirming a decision I can't change or find out I got shafted and feel horrible about a decision I can't change! Argh... grumble, grumble)
We picked Punto de Vista for three reasons:
1. We really wanted to be within driving distance (around 2 hours driving being the max) from San Jose ... so we picked Manuel Antonio
2. We didn't want a cookie cutter resort wedding. When I was considering getting married at a resort, I started having nightmares about showing up at the resort and being the third wedding party to arrive... so we decided to get married at a private villa.
3. We really love our friends and we loved the idea of turning our wedding into a big group vacation. So we decided we wanted to rent a private villa large enough to house our whole bridal ... so we picked Punto de Vista
Here are more gorgeous pictures of my wedding location: (YAY)
Yes, it IS a rooftop jacuzzi with a view of the Pacific Ocean!
*** Maybe it was meant to be!! the architect/owner of Punto de Vista is originally from Manhattan Beach. That's where D is from!! Did I mention that I'm a huge believer in fate :)
Hi!
ReplyDeleteI too am a Manhattan Beach resident! I was shocked when David said he was a former resident! I too thought, "it must be fate!" He had mentioned that there was another Manhattan Beach couple getting married at Punto, it must be you?
I would love to hear about your experience with the villa and your planner.
Are you using Larissa from Weddings Costa Rica?
Looking forward to hearing from you!
