Breakfast and dinner are included in guest room rates, giving everyone more opportunities to gather around the table. Our team can also help guests arrange their rooms, tours, activities and group or individual transportation from elsewhere in Costa Rica.

What Our Couples Say

    The Wedding of Our Dreams in Paradise
    Ylang Ylang created the wedding of our dreams. From the earliest planning stages through our final day at the resort, Emma, Moraya, and the entire team treated our celebration with care and attention to detail. Our welcome cocktail party, beachfront ceremony, reception dinner, and dance party were absolutely perfect. The setting was breathtaking, the food and cocktails were exceptional, and they even created custom signature cocktails inspired by our pets! As a same-sex couple, it was especially meaningful to feel completely comfortable and wholeheartedly celebrated throughout the experience. Emma and Moraya handled every request with patience and flexibility, making destination wedding planning feel effortless and allowing us to enjoy every moment with our loved ones. The food throughout our stay exceeded every expectation. They even prepared fresh tuna caught by some of our guests that very day! Our family and friends are still talking about the delicious meals, the incredible service from Francesco and Patricia, and the warmth of the entire team. We stayed in the Treetop Canopy, enjoying privacy while remaining close to our guests—with capuchin monkeys visiting our porch! Ylang Ylang gave us far more than a beautiful wedding venue. They created some of the happiest and most meaningful moments of our lives. We could not have asked for a more perfect wedding week, and we will enthusiastically recommend this incredible resort to any couple planning a destination wedding in Costa Rica. We will absolutely return. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. Pura Vida!

    The Most Spectacular Wedding Vacation There Has Ever Been!
    My fiance and I along with 46 guests came and stayed at Ylang Ylang two weeks ago. I had been working with the wedding planning duo Emma and Moraya for a little over a year on my dream destination wedding! They made the wedding planning process such a breeze that thanks to them I truly think I'll go down in history as the least stressed bride there has ever been.The wedding day itself was so spectacular it blew all of my expectations out of the water!! My family and friends can't stop raving about how perfect the wedding was, none of which would have been possible without Emma and Moraya and the staff at Ylang Ylang! Every moment of the week that we spent at Ylang Ylang was absolutely amazing! The rooms are magnificent, the location can't be beat, the staff are the friendliest and kindest people on the planet, the food is out of this world fresh and delicious and there are SO MANY opportunities for once-in-a-lifetime adventures that you could never get bored! Hearing so many of my family and friends saying "we have to come back here" as they departed is a testament to how incredible Ylang Ylang Beach Resort is. What Ylang Ylang Beach Resort provided was not only a wonderful in-the-moment experience, but also an experience that we can always look back on and remember as my family has termed it: "the BEST vacation EVER!”.

    Wedding and so much more!
    We just returned from our wedding at Ylang Ylang. We had an amazing experience and a fantastic wedding. Emma put together an awesome, perfectly executed wedding for us, and was very accommodating to our needs. What's more, the food, the staff, and the natural beauty of the location all exceeded our expectations. An additional note on the food - it is insanely delicious. The hospitality of the staff (Juan, Darren, Patricia, Gustavo, Alex, and everyone) was impeccable - incredibly kind, accommodating, and we left with more friends than we brought. We cannot wait to go back! Pura Vida!
