Question

What is the weather like this time of year?

Answer

In early January, Jacó experiences the height of the dry season, offering hot, sunny weather with very low rainfall and minimal humidity. Temperatures are consistently warm, featuring daily highs around 85°F and evenings around 70°F. It is one of the best times to visit for beach days, surfing, and outdoor activities.

Question

Should I bring my kids?

Answer

Short answer: Yes! We love your kiddos and want them there. However, we have one strict rule: children cannot be used as an 'early exit' excuse. We fully expect you to dance the night away with us. Just a heads-up—as the sun goes down, the filters come off the playlist, so expect that the music can get a little more 'grown-up' as the night evolves!

Question

Meghan has a torn ACL, will she be able to have fun?

Question

How can I spend my money in Costa Rica?

Answer

For the rehersal dinner, wedding, and brunch, you can leave your wallets at home. Otherwise, in the resort, in Jaco and across most of the country USD is accepted just as frequently as the Costa Rican Colón. Credit Cards will be accepted almost everywhere you go. Local vendors will offer better prices when paying cash (either USD and CRC). The exchange rate is $1USD=₡450CRC Gas and groceries are comparable to US prices.

Question

Do I have access to all the pools?

Answer

Marriott guests have access to the Marriott Pool. Condo guests have access to the pools near their condo as well as the Beach Club pools. Though these are the policies, both pools are connected via a walking path on the ocean side :)

Question

What should we do when nothing else is going on?

Answer

We recommend a few items; The Marriott and the Beach Club pools will be where you find us most often. Both pools have swim up bars and dining options. Stroll through the marina village, there are plenty of nice restaurants and a few shops. Head into downtown. Downtown Jaco is a 10 minute drive away, the main stretch follows the coast and has plenty of shops, restaurants, casinos, and nightlife. There are many adventure tours to go on. Zip-lining is a classic activity to do in Costa Rica and will expose you to seeing some incredible wildlife.

Possibly! Wildlife will be most active in the morning and evenings during cooler temperatures. Monkeys, sloths, and vibrants macaws are some of the highlights that you should keep an eye out for in the resort.

Question

What can we wear?

Answer

Honestly we don't care that much! Don't be a slob and don't steal attention from Meghan and you are dressed fine. Nice shorts, sandals, and collared short sleeve shirts are welcomed!

Question

What if I cant make it?

Answer

We get it, we really do. If you cant make it you will be dearly missed but we will certainly make time to celebrate the next time we are able to get together.

If you are looking to connect with someone to share a multi room condo with let us know and we can put you in touch with someone in a similar boat.

Question

I think someone was left off the invite?

Just let us know, if we don't want them we will tell you!

Question

If I need medical care or medicine where should I go?

Answer

There is a 24/7 medial clinic on the resort, right next to the entrance. If you need over the counter medicines, the super markets have what you need! The medical clinic on resort also sells medicine and first aid basics.

Question

What are some must pack items?

Answer

Sunscreen - If you have a checked bag bring all the sunscreen you can. The resort and supermarkets up-charge this so much. Bug spray (if you plan to adventure off the resort- ATV, zip lining) - The resort sprays for mosquitoes and they are nearly non existent on the resort. Insulated water bottle - The water in the resort is very much safe to use & drink and you will want an insulated bottle to keep your water cold. Plastic bottles warm up super fast in the heat. A good attitude! - Traveling to SJO, then to the resort will be a long day, but it will be SO worth it. Keep spirits high and prepare to explore all that Costa Rica has to offer!
