Villa CascadaWeddings

We will be back in the future!

When we arrived at the Villa everyone was in awe of how beautiful the place really is. The pictures don't do it justice! From the service of your staff, to the food and just the perfect environment, our stay was fantastic. On the morning of the 2nd day we already had friends asking when we were going to make plans to come back. Our wedding day couldn't have been more perfect and stress free for me. I appreciate every little detail and thing that was done to make the Villa even more beautiful. You guys do a great job with the facility and have an exceptional staff. Attached is a photo from the wedding day. I can't wait to see the pictures Carlos captured. We will be back in the future!   Thanks again, Maggie

Cayce and Kevin’s Costa Rican Wedding

It is hard to believe that Kevin and I have already been married for 2 months. Everyday of those 2 months we have talked about when we can go back to Costa Rica! We can not thank you and Jack enough for making not only our trip, but also our wedding so spectacular! From the first time we met up to talk about having the wedding at Villa Cascada to each time we talked about trip details, you made it so easy! Everyone kept asking me how stressful it was to plan a destination wedding and all I could say was, "it's not!" You made wedding planning so easy but made sure every detail was taken care of! I am so thankful I was able to enjoy and relax the whole week in Costa Rica instead of stress about last minute planning. Villa Cascada and Villa Ocotal were both beautiful. Seeing pictures we knew it would be wonderful but we were blown away about how beautiful everything was. The rooms were beyond our expectations and having so much room for everyone to be in one place was fabulous! We were so excited to be able to have everyone we love…

Destination Wedding in Costa Rica!

When I got engaged, I knew that I wanted to return to Villa Cascada for my wedding...but my sister had her wedding right here at Villa Cascada only a few years prior, and I did not want to copy her wedding....but it goes to show how much we love it here that she was thrilled to share her wedding venue with me! They wanted to go back! Pam is an angel sent from above! She helped with all my guests travel and flights, and helped me pick out options from the flowers to the tables to the rooms and connected me with all my vendors. She made it so easy! Guillermo is another angel....him and his house staff are kind and friendly and accommodating and I don't know how they do that each week with a new bridezilla to deal with each time! After two weddings here, our family feels at home at Villa Cascada and its because of Pam, Guillermo, and their staff. I have celiac disease, and they could not have been more accommodating! I even had a gluten free wedding cake that was GORGEOUS! Every meal I had options; they even have gluten free pancakes and croutons,…

Another Return!!!

Once again it was a great vacation thanks to you and your staff. Everyone was beyond happy and all expectations were surpassed as usual. Tom was so happy when he heard that you came through with the case of wine that he never stopped smiling. He wanted me to make sure I sent his thanks. Ronaldo and the staff are the best. You couldn't ask for more. The drinks and the food were spot on like always. The renovations made the place even better, which I thought couldn't happen. I mean how can you improve on perfection, well you did. The newly shaded deck area with the furnishings was a very popular hangout whereas before it wasn't because of too much sun. Everyone can't wait to come back. I am sure they will be telling their friends. There is nothing more I can say except AWESOME and I am speaking for each and every one. Also I would like to say that we met your husband Jack. We talked for a while and he told me of what he was renovating at Ocotal and what else he was going to do at Cascada. He seemed to be a really nice hard working guy. Let him know that we all enjoyed our stay and to…

It is hard to believe that it has been almost 2 months since we were married...in the most beautiful place on earth! We cannot thank you enough for making our trip so incredible! From the minute we began planning you made everything so easy. We kept thinking, "What are we forgetting?" "It can't be this easy!" People say it is so stressful to plan a wedding (especially a destination). But that is certainly not the way we felt! You took care of all of the details and we felt so incredibly relaxed from start to finish. From the time we landed in Costa Rica to the time we painstakingly left, everything was beyond our expectations. Villa Cascada is absolutely gorgeous! The food was outstanding – including all of the special dietary accommodations. And the drinks were always flowing! The setting was perfect for our whole family. The kids ran around and played in the pool/on the beach and really just entertained themselves. One of our favorite parts of the trip was having the chance for our two families, from separate sides of the United States, get to really know each other and become one big family! Guillermo took such great…

New Year’s Week Family Trip

I want you to know what a great time we had at your villa. I hope you learned it from the staff. They were terrific. It was the ideal place for our family. Everyone was free to do as much or as little as they wished. Having the wonderful food prepared for us every day was delicious and of course, the bar was fun even though we are not "bar" type people. I would like to think that maybe we could return some day to a smaller villa perhaps. Many thanks, Laura

Hola, I had to send you a note to let you know how amazing our stay was at your Villa,  We have been traveling every year for the last 10 years to a warm destination and your Villa is hands down our best vacation. Doris and Hermon went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. My husband is still talking about how delicious the was food was. I think everyone wanted to take them both home with them.  We also enjoyed Freddy's outgoing personality every morning. I apologize that I do not remember the maids name but she kept everything spotless. Guillermo was very helpful and responsive with our questions. You are very lucky to have a group of individuals that put their heart and soul into making everyone's week outstanding.  We will be telling everyone about this vacation.  In fact while my husband was diving on vacation he told a group of people about your villa and they were talking about renting next year for their trip. Truly grateful, Lisa

Wedding Celebration

Hello, Pam and Guillermo, We’re back from our marathon wedding week in Costa Rica. It was, as I’m sure you know, a blur of parties and lots of fun. We wanted to take a moment to appreciate all that you and your staff did to make Julianna and Austin’s wedding week successful. Guillermo!   What more can we say? He was an angel. Ever ready to help, accommodate last minute requests, and manage his staff so efficiently. He is a jewel, and you are lucky to have him! I think he even stepped in to cook one evening when we thought we would go to Rooster’s and then only too late learned it was closed to a private event. We were ready to just do some easy quesadillas but Guillermo said “not on my watch!” and promptly heated up the grill! What a trooper! Your entire staff.   It’s hard to know where to begin. Everyone loved the bartenders. Your kitchen staff was warm and welcoming. I never passed a maid in the hallway without a smile. Your pool guy is just wonderful and has an infectiously happy attitude! Everyone loved having the laundry done. I wish I could remember all the…

Wedding Guest

It's been over a month since my visit to Costa Rica and I miss it!  I just wanted to thank you with all the arrangements to get to the Villas.  I truly had an amazing time there and I know my family loved it.  I couldn't imagine it being more intimate!  The entire staff provided 5 star service and it was nice to get to know them as well.  Guillermo was phenomenal at assisting with all the arrangements and ensuring that our stay was a memorable one.  Gabriel, the bartender, was also awesome and was always available if we needed anything.  The ladies that served our meals were also very nice and made delicious omelettes. :). Also, Freddie was extremely helpful and he always offered his assistance with a smile.  He has a great personality and it was always pleasant to see him always cheerful!  So thank you and to all of your staff!  I look forward to going back and I hope it's soon! :) Sincerely, Cindy

That. Was. Amazing. I cannot thank you all enough for the BEAUTIFUL wedding. Every detail was perfect and Guillermo set all my extra little bits and pieces up perfectly. The fireworks were timed just right, and you were correct, everyone was blown away by them. The bad part about our wedding is now we can never go to a normal wedding ever again, they will all be disappointments! My cousins are also worried about how they could possibly top our wedding :) My uncle was tickled that the wedding involved a game of late night pool volleyball, which he got into! Two guests are ready to move to Costa Rica, aside from us. The whole week was so amazing and the staff were a huge part of that. The food was fabulous and they accommodated food allergies perfectly. Thank you for all you have done to make our week and certainly our wedding special. It was the trip of a lifetime and the perfect start to our lives together. I won't have pics back from Toh for a month or so, but till then if you google #happilyeverstastny you can see some of the pics our guests shot from both the wedding and the trip. Thanks again!!! Love, Laura Stastny :)

Haller Family Vacation

We recently returned from our 3rd family outing to Villa Cascada in 5 years. Usually we try to stay for a minimum of two weeks; but, because of other guests booking before us, we were only to get the period May 30 to June 7, 2015. One of the pleasant things about staying at Villa Cascada is the continuity of the staff. Pam Cox has always handled our bookings in a professional way, Guillermo is still at the Villa handling any item of concern or making arrangements for other activities such as Zip lining, Catamaran sailing, or other local trips. Reynaldo and Gabriel are the bartenders doing their utmost to ensure our happiness from early morning to often late at night. The cooks, Ms. Elba and Lidia have coffee ready for us early each morning before making our breakfast and then following up with lunch, snacks and dinner. The cleaning staff still amazes us as they have found time to do everyone’s daily laundry, clean all the rooms, maintain the main level while cleaning up the water we constantly leave around as we exit the pool. Then there is Freddy, the smiling pool and groundskeeper who always has a kind…

I had my wedding at Villa Cascada in April, 2014 and I simply cannot say enough good things about it. The pictures honestly do not accurately show how incredible Villa Cascada is. The whole setup of the place is incredible; the pool is right beside the eating/bar area so people can all be together the entire time. There is an amazing upper hot tub area with bar stools and a shaded sitting area where my friends and family loved to hang out. They have a shuffleboard table, ping pong, pool and foosball tables, corn hole and a water volleyball net. They have floats so you can relax in the pool during the day. The rooms were all outstanding - big, comfortable beds, amazing bathrooms, and a lot of the rooms had incredible views. The villa is located on a hill above Playa Ocotal and gets a great breeze and an outstanding view of the sunset. The staff is absolutely amazing. We did not have to think about any logistical things while we were there. The bartenders are AWESOME, all the food was to-die-for, your room is cleaned daily and they even offer free laundry service. Anything and everything you could…

Pam’s Testimony

Wow! What an amazing time my husband and I had at the Villa Cascada! We were guests for a friend's wedding. We had 22 people in our party and were there for 5 nights. This villa is incredible! From start to finish everything was perfecto! The accommodations were very clean and comfortable. The food was amazing (we never went hungry). The bartenders and other staff were so friendly! Guillermo was so great and helped all of us book excursions. We really enjoyed getting to know Guillermo, as he is very open and shared many stories and valuable information about Costa Rica. Overall the property was really great for our group. We spent a ton of time in the pool, playing games and hanging out. This is such a perfect location for a big family/group, as you can really relax and everything is taken care of for you. Enjoy!! - Pam
