JW Marriott Guanacaste - Liberia Airport: Private Transfer & WiFi

Summary

Private ride from JW Marriott Guanacaste to Liberia Airport

You’ll be picked up right at JW Marriott Guanacaste by a friendly bilingual driver who’ll help with your luggage and get you settled in an air-conditioned van with WiFi and bottled water. The drive to Liberia Airport is smooth and relaxed, with small glimpses of local life along the way—leaving you calm and ready for your flight in a way you might not expect.

What’s the experience like?

The first thing I noticed was how quietly the lobby hummed that morning — just the soft shuffle of suitcases and the faint smell of coffee drifting from somewhere behind reception. Our driver, Andrés, was already waiting near the entrance in his crisp shirt (I spotted him by the badge and the easy smile). He greeted us in English but switched to Spanish when he helped my partner with her bag — she’s been practicing, so they both laughed at her accent. It felt more like being picked up by a friend than a formal transfer.

I didn’t expect to actually relax during an airport transfer, but once we got into the van — cool air, seats that leaned back further than I thought they would — I just let out this long breath. There was WiFi onboard, which meant I could send my mom a quick message (she worries), and Andrés handed us cold bottled water before pulling away from JW Marriott Guanacaste. The drive itself took about an hour and twenty minutes, give or take. We passed stretches of dusty road where cows grazed under these wide trees; sometimes you’d catch a whiff of earth after last night’s rain. Andrés pointed out a few birds along the way — I think one was called a motmot? Not sure if I’m spelling that right.

He chatted about Costa Rican geography and some local customs, but never too much — just enough to make it interesting without feeling like a tour guide on autopilot. At one point he slowed down for a family of iguanas crossing (honestly, only in Costa Rica), and we all had a laugh because one of them looked especially grumpy. The closer we got to Liberia Airport, the more I realized how much less anxious I felt compared to other airport rides. Maybe it was just knowing someone else had it handled.

Andrés dropped us right at the entrance with plenty of time before our flight. He helped unload our bags and wished us “buen viaje” with this little wave — not rushed at all. Funny how something as simple as a private transfer can stick with you; I still think about that quiet stretch of road and those random iguanas sometimes.
