The multiplex of options include: a poolside lounge, a see-and-be-seen party hotspot on the 7th floor with a private terrace, Above Allen, and a poolside lounge. Crave a nibble before you hit that box of chocolates? Head to Shang and sample Susur Lee’s global Chinese culinary wizardry.

Rent a villa for the price of a hotel room at Casa Murray.

Why rent a room when you can rent a villa? Nosara, Costa Rica has some of the most enticing properties in captivity, with all the amenities of a grand hotel and ten times the space. Couples rent Casa Murray year after year because it’s got everything a major hotel has for less, and lets face it, if there is to be any cannonball action in the deep end of the pool it will be either you or your new spouse (not the intoxicated 20-somethings at the chain hotel you so narrowly avoided). A cool breeze, surround-sound stereo system, luxe furniture throughout the entire house and patio, and  infinity pool overlooking the Pacific are a few of the perks of  renting a private palace of your own. Think twilight cocktails as you swim to the horizon with your honey over strains of Miles Davis. For $250 per night, that’s a value play, considering that many chain luxury hotels are in that price range. A la carte amenities include: couples massage, a private chef, private yoga class, gym membership, canopy tours, rental car, golf cart, quad, or scooter for the 8 minute drive to the main surfing beach.

As romance travel writers, we say, get away from the numbers and indulge in a personal experience with all the luxuries of a chain hotel (and a table set only for two).

Budget Play:
For the budget conscious bride and groom, a more edited offering is also available, including: One week rental of a studio apartment close to the beach in the heart of Guiones, 3- 1 & 1/2 hour yoga classes, 3 one hour massages, and unlimited use of the Nosara Workout Gym all for $695 per week.
