Lovers at sunset Dreams Las Mareas Beach Portrait photo

Jennifer and Matt really wanted to find a place that represented something to them that made sense for the entire family.  Also, they really wanted a special paradise that represented everything they loved about their life together.  Traveling for love and surrounding yourselves with the natural world and being inspired by water.

Water is an element that we can’t live without.  Mix the elements of water and light and you can make magic.   This is why sunset portraits at Dreams Las Mareas is so magical…the light is epic, the reflection of the colors on the ocean at dusk is awe inspiring.

Falling in love with Costa Rica

Many couples are choosing to Costa Rica Elopement packages because there is so much to offer outside that of a “beach destination”.  We think young lovers identify with the bio diversity and experiences available throughout the country.

Dreams las Mareas Beach Portraits – Falling in love with Costa Rica

We are inspired by the textures and colors of the beach and foliage surrounding Dreams Las Mareas, located on Playa el Jobo in the Guanacaste region of Costa Rica.  We remember when the tide was out, the private beach an bay is protected from strong winds and the water is glass.  One thing that kept happening was pelicans were dive bombing the waters surface.

The hotel is surrounded by lush foliage and mountains full of jungles, expect the sound of howler monkeys in the distance.  Guanacaste Playa el Jobo has so many hidden gems and is a center for eco-tourism in Costa Rica.  Sometimes the sound of the waves lapping on the shore can compete with the sounds of the jungle so you are stuck to choose your ambiance.

Walking on the beach at Dreams Las Mareas

The Pacific Ocean and the incredible having your own private bay overlooking the sunsets is pretty remarkable.   Everywhere you look is full of flowers and details and water…lots of water and rivers bringing nutrients into the ocean.  The ecosystem in Guanacaste Costa Rica is so rich.
