Some brides want to get away from it all and others want to be where the action is. For those who want a little of both, there's Costa Azul Adventure Resort. Tucked away on a secluded beach just north of Puerto Vallarta, this quaint property combines the amenities of a large resort with the charm of a boutique hotel. With 27 units, Costa Azul is the perfect setting for an intimate, yet exciting, retreat with your closest family and friends.

While opportunities to relax abound (open-air massage, anyone?), Costa Azul encourages guests to take advantage of daily excursions and activities. Kayaking, hiking, snorkeling, and surfing are just a few options.

The resort's popular all-inclusive packages include an ocean view; a la carte dining and refreshments; and unlimited participation in excursions and activities. This makes for a perfect, fuss-free visit for destination wedding guests.

Lisa Taylor, Director of Marketing, says that Costa Azul is quickly becoming a destination wedding hotspot because it has so much to offer couples and their guests. Also, the resort works with each couple to create a customized wedding, making Costa Azul unique from the other large hotels in Mexico. "We are very intimate not only in our location, but also in our interactions with our guests and brides. says Lisa.

If you're looking for an unique experience where families can really get to know one another in an intimate, memorable setting, then Costa Azul is the ideal place.
