Barcelo Langosta?

[janineg]

I'm *hoping* to be a Costa Rica bride in 2011- has anyone ever stayed at the Barcelo Langosta? I'm looking for something fairly....economical.

 

Anyone have any ideas? Also- does anyone know how long it takes to travel from Alberta (Canada) to Costa Rica?

Hello there janineg.

 

Langosta Beach has got one of the most beautiful beaches in Costa Rica. The Barcelo is right on it. Basic rooms, nice gardens. My only comment about it is the pool music seems a little loud. You get more bang for the buck there since it is an all inclusive. Ask about their specials and negotiate prices because you are bringing a wedding to them. Get outside wedding coordination

Hi Ask.Costa Rica,

 

The above posting is from over a year ago, would you still recommend getting outside wedding coordination if we choose to go with this hotel.  Our wedding is next April, and we are finally coming to a decision on where we are going to stay - Barcelo Langosta is our top runner right now, so I would just like to know if there are any big issues or problems here that I should be aware of.

 

Thanks for your help!

 

Cheers,

Kim

Hello Kim,

 

I would have to say that our answer would have to depend on weather you want elaborate wedding decor and planning or if you want to keep it simple. They do a nice job, most of their decor is with flowers from their own garden (it is a nice touch but some wilt). They have a strange way of setting up their ceremony sites (not facing the ocean but parallel to it). If you can look past these details then it is a good place. Like I mentioned before, they have poolside music blaring all the time, not too quiet of an atmosphere. The location is gorgeous, count on quite a bit of tourists since it would be high season.
