the accommodation
Casa El Chante
Casa El Chante is a villa located in Tamarindo, Costa Rica, comprised of nine separate structures tucked away in the lushness of a hillside jungle. Connected by paths and wooden stairways, the bungalows are built entirely of local tropical hardwoods and in Balinese style, providing the feeling of an elite collection of tree houses. Five of the eight bungalows are individual guest suites with a private porch, master bedroom, bath, and authentic Balinese furniture with secluded forest pathways leading to them. Known as an eco-retreat, the getaway has an open air design and a main bungalow which holds the kitchen, media room, and living space with an infinity pool just outside. It is located just a two minute walk from the beach, a few minute drive from Tamarindo, and a few beaches over from the wedding ceremony location. The West and Kuiper families will share the Balinese-styled property from August 1-6, with the poolside terrace transforming into the reception location on August 3rd. Each couple will have their own bungalow for the week, totalling an intimate 16 people who will be staying at the location and be present at the wedding.
