Question

What is the dress code?

Beach casual attire: We suggest men wear a long or short-sleeved shirt with slacks or shorts and ladies wear a sundress or dressy separates, like a nice top and skirt. The ceremony will be on the beach, so keep this in mind when selecting your shoes - we suggest wearing wedges, chunky heels, platform sandals, or strappy sandals. Please refrain from wearing white, champagne, or tan and leave that for the Bride and Groom.

Question

What will the weather be like?

Answer

While we can't predict the weather, typically February in Guanacaste the weather is beautiful, with temperatures ranging from the low-70s to mid-90s with very little rain, as February is peak dry season. The Papagayo winds typically blow through the Guanacaste region during February as well, cooling down the hot summer days.
