Wedding Guidelines

Wedding reservations are different than our typical operations; normally we operate Quinta Maria Cortez “QMC” as a boutique Bed & Breakfast (were we include breakfast with the room rate, do not offer other bar or meal service and do not allow children).  Casa Tres Vidas “CTV” is normally operated in the traditional “Villa Concept” (renting the villas with kitchen staff and the guests pay for the food). 

 With a Wedding reservation, both properties are reserved and operated in a combined way, catering to your needs.  We offer complimentary buffet breakfast to all guests, we allow children at both properties and other food & beverage services are contracted in advance via our office in the United States.
