Top Honeymoon Destinations
Manuel Antonio is an incredible niche of nature on the mid Pacific coast of Costa Rica; several coves of white sand beach surrounded by jungle-covered cliffs jut out to crystal blue-green tropical waters. Manuel Antonio is actually a national park, one of the most visited. This park encompasses beaches, awesome trails through forested terrain and a stunning waterfall. Wildlife and vistas are prolific; Monkeys are like cats in Manuel Antonio park; they come up close searching for food, (please do not feed) let you observe them, but never too close for comfort. The rare three-toed sloth is a common site here as well as other tropical mammals that have become accustomed to the visiting humans. The snorkeling is absolutely incredible for water lovers. Experiencing all these wonders of nature truly fulfill Costa Rica as an ideal honeymoon location.
Surrounding the national park there are numerous hotels, cabañas, houses and villas for rent. Grand villas such as Casa Las Ventanas or smaller villas such as those Makanda Hotel by the Sea offers, are truly the best way to enjoy your stay in Manuel Antonio and make this a top honeymoon destination. Staying at a villa will pamper you and allow you to fulfill your romantic newlywed dreams.

One of the most incredible aspects of Manuel Antonio are the breathtaking sunsets. What can be more romantic than being fully emerged in nature with all of the amenities at hand while capturing the tropical sunset in your hearts? There is a plethora of information related to Manuel Antonio online; Casa Las Ventanas‘ sister hotel, Makanda, offers full on-site weddings and wedding services.
Costa Rica is privileged with so many beautiful sites and activities; you could spend your honeymoon trying to capture as many as these experiences as possible. But what really makes for top honeymoon destinations is the ability to fully relax, smell the flowers and spend a romantic time together. That is why a villa is so great. No hassles, just good quality time together in gorgeous surroundings.
There are other areas of Costa Rica that make for top honeymoon destinations like the southern Caribbean coast or the hot springs of Arenal volcano. On the Caribbean you can rent a fully equipped house just a couple hundred feet from the beach. At the hot springs in Arenal there are several spas where you can stay at the hot springs or rent an equipped cabin. Most places provide services to the springs, tours of the volcano and Lake Arenal. These two areas are my recommendations for the side trips within the country. Although, the sunsets at Casa Las Ventanas in Manuel Antonio truly make for one of the top honeymoon destinations in Costa Rica. Click to review rates and reservations.
