Local transfer notes
What to Expect on the Drive to Costa Elena
This is a cross-Guanacaste drive from Liberia Airport to Playa El Jobo near La Cruz. A few practical details help us plan your pickup and choose a vehicle that fits your group.
Allow about 1 hour 37 minutes
The drive to JW Marriott Costa Elena in Playa El Jobo is approximately 87 km / 54 mi. That is a typical estimate, not a fixed arrival time. Traffic during busy periods, rain, road conditions and the resort’s exact access point can extend the drive, so leave a buffer for time-sensitive plans.
Share your flight details
Send your airline, flight number and scheduled arrival time, along with your passenger count. These details help us coordinate the airport pickup and plan the right vehicle for your party.
Tell us if your flight changes
If the airline updates your arrival time or flight number, contact BestToursCR as soon as you can. We can use the updated information to reconfirm the pickup plan; timing changes depend on the revised arrival and driver availability.
Know where to meet your representative
After you exit the terminal, look for your BestToursCR representative with a personalized name sign. Follow the pickup instructions confirmed for your reservation if airport procedures or the meeting point change.
Include luggage and child-seat needs
Tell us how many checked bags and carry-ons you expect, and mention oversized items or child-seat requests. Passenger count alone does not determine which vehicle will fit your group comfortably.
