Dreams Las Mareas Costa Rica will no longer be part of Hyatt or the Inclusive Collection effective Monday, June 30,2025. Because of this, the couple must relocate the wedding to Planet Hollywood Costa Rica.
For any questions or concerns, please reach out to Barbara Berman. Please give Barbara and her team at DestinationWeddings.com a few days to update their website to reflect this change.
In the meantime, feel free to review the new resort:
