Guanacaste Airport - Planet Hollywood: Private transfer

Summary

Arriving at Liberia Airport & heading to Planet Hollywood

You’ll skip airport stress with a private transfer from Guanacaste Airport to Planet Hollywood Beach Resort. Your local driver meets you right outside arrivals with your name on a sign, offers chilled water, and handles all logistics—even infant seats if you need them. It’s quiet, comfortable, and gives you a first taste of Costa Rica’s warmth—something you’ll remember long after arrival.

What’s the experience like?

I’ll be honest — I was half-expecting the usual airport scramble when we landed at Liberia (LIR). But then I spotted my name on a sign, right outside the main exit, and suddenly it felt like someone had hit pause on all that travel chaos. Our driver, Mario, waved and smiled — not that stiff kind of smile, but the real one you get when someone’s been waiting for you in the heat. He handed us cold bottled water before we even got to the van. The air-conditioning hit me like a small miracle after the sticky air outside.

The drive to Planet Hollywood Beach Resort took about 40 minutes, though honestly I lost track watching the countryside roll by. There’s this moment when you leave the airport sprawl behind and everything just goes green — palms, flashes of bougainvillea, a few cows doing their own thing. Mario pointed out a roadside fruit stand and told us about his favorite mangoes (I tried repeating the name in Spanish and he laughed — pretty sure I butchered it). It was quiet except for his stories and the hum of the AC. No other passengers, no awkward small talk with strangers — just us and our bags in back.

I didn’t realize how much I’d appreciate having someone local handle all those little details — especially after a long flight with cranky kids. He even checked if we needed an infant seat (we did), which made things way less stressful than wrangling taxis or shuttles. When we finally pulled up to Planet Hollywood, there was this salty breeze coming off the ocean and a weird sense of relief that I hadn’t expected from something as simple as an airport transfer. Maybe it’s silly, but I still think about that first cool sip of water in the van.
