Plan Your Travel to Costa Rica

The international airport in the city of Liberia, Costa Rica is a half an hour drive from the Andaz Hotel on the Papagayo Peninsula in the Guanacaste region.  You can rent a car to drive from the airport to the hotel or you can arrange with the hotel to pick you up at the airport.  If you plan to stay at the resort the entire time you do not need a car, and the hotel staff will drive you around the Papagayo Peninsula during the day free of charge.  If you plan to do exploring on your own outside of the Papagayo Peninsula you should rent a car.  Day trips and tours can be arranged through the hotel or you can plan them on your own.  Popular destinations are:

  • Easy afternoon trips:
    • Prieta Beach Club (Andaz staff will drive you here free of charge in daytime)
