Choosing the Resort : A Tropical Destination Wedding Without a Beach Ceremony

About this video

Planning a Planet Hollywood Costa Rica destination wedding can be an incredible choice for couples who want lush tropical scenery and something different from a traditional beach wedding. In this real resort match, we're sharing why Planet Hollywood Costa Rica became the perfect choice for a couple dreaming of an intimate, romantic celebration surrounded by nature.

This couple was planning a destination wedding for just 15 to 25 of their closest family members and friends. Rather than a large beachfront celebration, they envisioned a romantic sunset ceremony surrounded by tropical greenery. Privacy, exceptional food, and an authentic atmosphere were all important, along with a plated dinner and intimate candlelit reception. They wanted the entire wedding experience to feel relaxed, personal, and meaningful from beginning to end.

Because their vision was a little different from the traditional Mexico destination wedding, we expanded the search. Dreams Macao in Punta Cana, Hyatt Ziva Cap Cana, and Planet Hollywood Costa Rica all made the shortlist. We compared the resorts based on scenery, wedding venues, dining, guest experience, overall atmosphere, and value.

Ultimately, Planet Hollywood Costa Rica delivered the setting they had been imagining. Its dramatic hillside location, lush greenery, and tropical surroundings create a completely different atmosphere from a traditional Caribbean beach resort. It provided the nature-inspired scenery they wanted while still offering the comfort, dining, amenities, and convenience of an all-inclusive resort.

Your destination wedding doesn't have to look like everyone else's. If you're dreaming about mountains, tropical greenery, dramatic views, or intimate venues instead of a ceremony directly on the beach, expanding your search can uncover destinations and resorts that fit your vision much better.

At Romance Travel Group, destination weddings are all we do. We start with the experience you want to create and then help you find the resort that brings that vision to life. Sometimes that means considering a resort or destination that wasn't originally on your radar and those unexpected matches can turn out to be exactly right.
