Villa Punto de Vista Weddings: Top 6 Hotels in Manuel Antonio for Wedding Blocks
A wedding at Villa Punto de Vista is not just an event – it’s an experience. Every detail is designed to be seamless and sophisticated. From sunrise coffees on the patio to candlelit conversations by the pool, your time at the villa is about connection, shared moments, and the beauty of where you are.
With two villas that sleep up to 54 guests, your nearest and dearest can have a private, five-star retreat, with the same level of service and attention to detail that makes Villa Punto de Vista truly unique. A common concern when booking a private estate wedding is where to accommodate guests beyond the villa itself. At Villa Punto de Vista, we’ve already solved that for you with these strong hotel partnerships—so you can focus on celebrating, not coordinating lodging logistics.
From boutique hideaways to beachfront resorts, these properties mirror the same philosophy – beautifully designed spaces, exceptional service, and an atmosphere that accentuates the magic of your wedding. Whether your guests are steps from the sand or nestled in the jungle with ocean views, they’ll be just a short walk from your wedding, fully surrounded by the luxury of Manuel Antonio.
But first, what does an overflow hotel mean?
An overflow hotel is a nearby accommodation option for guests when the villa has reached maximum capacity for guest rooms.
At Villa Punto de Vista, our estate has two villas that can accommodate up to 54 guests across 18 bedrooms, so your guests will feel like they’re home and sharing in all the moments.
- Villa Punto de Vista – 10 en-suite guest rooms to accommodate up to 24 adults and 6 children
- Villa La Isla – 8/9 luxurious en-suite guest rooms to accommodate up to 24 guests
- Event Capacity – While our villas can accommodate up to 54 overnight guests, we can host weddings for up to 100 guests so you can invite more friends and family to join in the celebration.
With large, shared spaces, Villa Punto de Vista means your wedding party can experience every magical moment together. But, when it’s time to lay your head to rest at night, many have guests staying at their selected overflow properties overnight with room blocks just for them.
We’ve hand-selected these hotels because they align with our values: impeccable service, breathtaking surroundings, and an atmosphere that enhances the magic of your wedding weekend.
Whether your guests prefer a boutique retreat, a full-service resort, or a luxurious suite, these options will allow them to be just minutes from your celebration while enjoying an unforgettable stay.
How do you decide who stays at the villa for your wedding?
It can be hard to determine who stays with you at the villa and who heads to a nearby property. What many of our clients do is opt to keep parents, siblings, and bridal party members at the villa, ensuring they are part of the seamless experience from morning coffee on the terrace to late-night toasts by the pool. Some also allocate rooms to older guests or those with mobility concerns for added convenience, as our villas are ADA accessible. We’ve also had some clients save rooms at the villa for those who have traveled the furthest.
Ultimately, it’s your day and your decision!
No matter how you structure it, our team will assist in organizing accommodations to ensure everyone—whether staying at the villa or in an overflow hotel—experiences the same level of hospitality, beauty, and luxury that defines Villa Punto de Vista.
How does it work with guests staying at different resorts?
Just like when out-of-town guests book a block of rooms at a wedding back home, the process here at Villa Punto de Vista is similar—only with a Costa Rican backdrop. With the help of your event planner and our pre-arrival concierge, you’ll decide who stays with you at the villa and who will get personalized recommendations to book at one of your preferred overflow hotels.
You have two options when arranging accommodations for your guests:
- Reserve a room block at a select hotel so your guests have guaranteed availability and a smooth booking process. Your wedding planner can help you manage a courtesy contract to reserve the rooms without penalty if they aren’t all booked. Just ask!
- Provide a list of recommended hotels on your wedding website so your guests can book their own accommodations based on their preferences.
For ease of logistics, some couples prefer to have all guests not staying at the villa reserve accommodation at the same hotel so group transportation to and from the villa for welcome events, the wedding and post wedding brunches is easier. No matter how you structure your guest accommodations, we’ll ensure you and your guests are taken care of.

While only overnight guests will have full access to the villa’s private amenities, all your wedding guests will be welcomed for wedding-related events such as your ceremony, reception, and other planned celebrations at the villa or when welcomed by a guest staying in the villa. - Are there any all-inclusive hotels near Villa Punto de Vista?

Our pre-arrival concierge can assist in coordinating transportation options to make travel effortless. - Are there hotels within walking distance of Villa Punto de Vista?
