Villa Caletas & Zephyr Palace Destination Wedding Guide
Central Pacific - Herradura/Jaco (hilltop, 1150 ft above ocean), Costa Rica
Every resort on this site passed my vetting. But this is one of the resorts where, if my daughter called me tomorrow and said she was engaged — this is where I'd be genuinely excited to start planning.

Guest feedback
What do wedding guests say about this resort?
Guests rave about the dramatic cliffside views, sunsets, architecture, and romantic boutique atmosphere. The property has many stairs, the beach requires transportation, and it is isolated from town. It is particularly strong for intimate weddings because the views and amphitheater create unforgettable ceremony imagery. Overall, the recurring feedback suggests that the best experience comes from matching the resort's personality and layout to the guest list rather than choosing on photos alone.
