We Know How Costa Rica's South Pacific Really Works

01 — What we do

What we do

Local Knowledge That Works for You

Everything we do starts from the same place: 20+ years living, working and building in Costa Rica's South Pacific. Whether you're planning a private trip, a destination wedding, or a property or tourism project, you get the same thing — honest advice, trusted local connections, and someone who has already solved the problems you're about to face.

Travel Concierge

For travelers: Already booked your stay — now what? Online you'll find hundreds of tours and services, but no way to know which are reliable or right for your group. We design private experiences around who's traveling and handle every booking with clear, upfront pricing.

For travel agencies: Need a trusted local partner for your VIP clients? We've worked with international agencies planning private services in the South Pacific: transportation, tours, chefs and on-the-ground support, handled with discretion and precision.

Ana was the absolute best! She helped me plan every step of the way and especially made the rental cars so much easier. No hidden fees! The exact quote she sent me was exactly what we were charged. I highly recommend using her for all of your excursions, stays, and everything else! This was my first trip to Costa Rica and definitely won't be my last thanks to Ana!

Weddings & Events

For couples: Don't know where to start? We help you choose the right venue, connect with trusted vendors and build a realistic budget before you commit.

For villas & venues: Want to host weddings and events, or already getting requests? We advise you on how to become event-ready, from space setup, logistics and pricing to trusted vendor networks, and can coordinate celebrations for your guests when you need a reliable local planner.

"Ana's expertise and professionalism shone through in every aspect of our ceremony and reception. Ana flawlessly brought our vision to life and her coordination of vendors was impeccable. We couldn't have asked for a better planner to make our special day truly unforgettable. We highly recommend Ana for a seamless and beautiful wedding experience."

02 — About

Meet Ana

Expertise rooted in Costa Rica's South Pacific.

Prestige DMC is led by Ana Montesino, a bilingual tourism professional originally from Argentina, where she began her career in 1997 organizing congresses and conventions and later working in a travel agency. In 2002 she made Costa Rica's South Pacific her home, where her daughters were born and where she has built her career ever since.

She arrived in the Dominical area during the early days of its tourism development. At Hotel Villas Río Mar she created the area's first inbound tourism department, and later served as Reservations & Marketing Manager at Hotel Cuna del Ángel, part of the Preferred Hotels & Resorts network.

In 2009 she founded Prestige Weddings & Events, while also managing properties for foreign investors and providing concierge services for travelers. That experience covers the full picture: property administration, vacation-rental operations, staff management and guest services.

Ana has also lived the investor's journey herself. She designed, built and operates her own vacation rental, Casa Aluem, facing the same decisions, permits and operational challenges her clients face today.

She holds a Licentiate in Tourism from Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata (Argentina), officially recognized in Costa Rica by UNED as a Bachelor's in Sustainable Tourism Management. This recognition qualifies her to practice professionally and provide tourism assessments for development projects, including maritime-zone concessions and protected areas. She is a member of ACOPROT, the Costa Rican Association of Tourism Professionals.

In 2023 she brought all her experience together under Prestige DMC, so every client, whether traveling, celebrating or investing, receives honest, direct guidance from someone who has done it firsthand.
