Liberia Airport - JW Marriott: Private transfer with drinks

Summary

Arriving in Costa Rica: A smooth ride to JW Marriott Pinilla

You’ll step off your flight into warm Costa Rican air and be greeted by your driver holding your name sign. Enjoy cold drinks and snacks as you ride in comfort toward JW Marriott Pinilla, hearing local stories along the way. With pickup included and no stress about timing or delays, you’ll start your trip feeling cared for — a feeling that lingers long after arrival.

What’s the experience like?

The first thing I noticed stepping out of Liberia Airport was the thick, warm air — and then, honestly, the relief of spotting my name on a big sign. Our driver, Andrés, waved like he’d been waiting for us all morning (maybe he had). He helped with our bags before I could even fumble for them. The van was spotless and cool inside — not that fake cold that makes you shiver, just enough to take the edge off after the flight. There was a faint citrus smell from the wet towels they handed us. I pressed one to my face and felt like I’d finally landed.

We cracked open the beers they’d set out (I’m not usually a beer person but it tasted right after hours in airports), and Andrés pointed out things as we drove — mango trees lining the road, kids playing soccer barefoot in the dust. He switched between English and Spanish so easily that I tried to say “gracias” properly; he smiled politely but I probably butchered it. The drive to Hacienda Pinilla isn’t long — maybe an hour? — but it felt shorter with him telling stories about growing up nearby. At one point he slowed down so we could see a family of iguanas sunning themselves on a stone wall. That’s not something you get in a regular taxi.

I didn’t expect to feel so relaxed before even reaching the JW Marriott. Maybe it was the snacks or just having someone else handle everything (flight delays included — apparently they track your flight so nobody’s left stranded). When we pulled up at the hotel entrance, Andrés handed back our bags like he knew which ones were ours without asking. It’s funny what sticks with you: that first cold drink, or how easy it all felt after a day of travel chaos. If you’re thinking about booking this private transfer from Liberia Airport to JW Marriott Pinilla, I’d say go for it — sometimes small comforts make all the difference.
