You’ll step off your flight in Liberia and find your driver waiting with a smile and cold water ready. Settle into an air-conditioned ride straight to Dreams Las Mareas, with a chance to stop along the way if you want. With everything handled by locals who know every turn, you’ll start relaxing before you even reach the resort — it’s a feeling that sticks with you.
“You’re with Guanacaste Viajes?” That’s the first thing I heard after stumbling out of Liberia Airport, still blinking from the flight. Our driver — I think his name was Javier — was holding a little sign and grinning like he’d been waiting just for us. He grabbed my bag before I could protest (it’s heavier than it looks) and led us straight to this spotless van, cool air already humming inside. I didn’t realize how much I needed that until we sat down. The heat outside hits different in Costa Rica, you know?
I kept thinking we’d have to rush or figure out some paperwork, but nope — everything was just… handled. Bottled water appeared out of nowhere (I swear he had a stash), and Javier asked if we wanted to stop for snacks or anything on the way to Dreams Las Mareas. We passed these tiny roadside fruit stands — mangoes everywhere, bright as traffic cones — and he told us about his favorite spot for gallo pinto, which I probably mispronounced. He laughed anyway.
The drive itself felt like a slow exhale after travel stress. There’s something about watching the landscape shift from dry fields to lush green hills, windows up, AC on full blast, that makes you realize you’re actually here. My partner dozed off halfway; I just watched the light flicker through palm leaves and tried not to think about emails or anything back home. It’s funny how a simple airport transfer can set the tone for your whole trip — no drama, just easy arrival with someone who knows the roads better than Google Maps ever will.
