Accommodations
Both friends and family have implied that the original plan of $1,100 per person for this trip is a bit crazy, sooo in an effort to make it possible for everyone to come, we have changed up the plans. The main villa, Villa Nimbu, will be the headquarters for the weekend. This is where all festivities and gatherings will happen, and where the immediate Erkelens family will stay. For your convenience, we have gathered several options for accommodations close by so that everyone can choose the type and price-point they prefer. Below are several options nearby, at different rates and combinations. For instance, there may be several single people coming, which could allow us to rent a secondary villa for housing, such as Casa Rica.
