Why they chose this property
Villa Daiquiri - It is the former Bacardi Family compound built in early 1980's. Custom tile embedded in the wall entrance with the Bacardi Family "Bat" crest printed on every bottle of rum. Not ostentatious, but with several classy and unique architectural features. Built like a fortress. Largest private property on Hermosa Beach. My wife and I decided to refurbish and upgrade critical infrastructure to high standards, with trying to keep as much of the original Bacardi Family design and uniqueness. The size lends itself to large families and groups. We saw a fit to meet the needs of small to medium size Destination Weddings and unique Business meetings or YOGA Retreats. Villa Daiquiri is large enough to have the required amenities to successfully host a wedding or event, but DRAMATICALLY less expensive then neighboring 5 Star resorts. Hence providing a venue which allows the inclusion of many more guests than normally would be possible for a DESTINATION Event. Full event amenities are available including tents, seating, flowers, lighting, DJ, photographer, caterer, musicians, Wedding Planner, or bring your own. But we don't sell liquor! By supplying your own (we will facilitate) the cost differential from a resort, can pay for the entire wedding!
What makes this property unique
CLOSE to the AIRPORT! 25 Min. I grew tired hauling my family to resorts in the Caribbean or Mexico that required an hour to 3 hour drive after a many hour flight! Worse, airlines want you at airport 2-3 hours in advance upon departure. Herding all the "Cats" to get out the door at 5am (or earlier) then a long drive, then wait two more hours for flight is ridiculous! We make things EASY. Transport large or small is available. 60 additional hotel rooms and 5 restaurants within walking distance. We own an adjacent parking lot for 50+ cars/tourist vans. A wide variety of Costa Rica specialized tours and experiences are available. We also own Sun Monkey Villa (sleeps 18 & 3 minutes from Villa Daiquiri). At a recent wedding the grooms family stayed at Villa Daiquiri and the brides at Sun Monkey. Most guests at a Costa Rican destination wedding stay 4-7 days. A welcoming Gathering Party was held at Sun Monkey on Thursday, Rehearsal Dinner at Coconutz Restaurant/Brewery Friday night. Saturday wedding and reception at Villa Daiquiri and 3 sailboats chartered for guest beach day on Sunday! What a wedding for the couple and their friends and family to remember!
