You’ll step off your flight at Liberia Airport and spot your driver waiting with your name—no stress or searching for taxis. Settle into an air-conditioned ride with cold water as you cross Costa Rica’s countryside toward Westin Playa Conchal Resort. Along the way, your local driver shares small stories or lets you rest quietly—it’s your call. Arriving relaxed is honestly half the joy here.
When we walked out of Liberia Airport, I spotted my name on a sign before I even had time to second-guess if we were in the right place. Our driver—his name was Andrés—waved us over with this easy smile. He asked if we wanted the A/C on (yes, please) and handed us cold bottled water before we’d even settled in. I remember the air outside felt heavy and sweet, like wet leaves after rain. Inside the van though, it was just quiet hums and the soft thump of our bags in the back.
The drive to Westin Playa Conchal took about an hour—Andrés said it can be longer if you hit traffic near Santa Cruz, but we were lucky. He pointed out a row of bright pink bougainvillea along the road and tried to teach me how to say “Conchal” properly (I still don’t think I got it right). My partner dozed off for a bit while I watched the light change through the windows—sometimes gold, sometimes almost green as we passed clusters of trees. There’s something about being driven somewhere new by someone who knows every turn that makes you relax in a way taxis never do.
I didn’t expect to feel so taken care of on what’s basically just a transfer from LIR airport to Westin Playa Conchal Resort. It sounds silly but having someone waiting—even when our flight was late—just made everything easier. Andrés told us he does this all day, any hour, even at night when flights come in at strange times. We talked a little about his family and how he likes driving because he gets to meet people from everywhere. The hour went by fast; suddenly there was that first glimpse of palm trees by the entrance gate and I felt awake again.
