You’ll be met right at your hotel by a local driver who handles everything — luggage, timing, even quick stops for coffee or photos if you want. Enjoy air conditioning, free WiFi onboard, bottled water, and an easy ride straight to San José airport. It’s simple comfort that lets you soak in Costa Rica one last time.
It started with a smile from Carlos, our driver, who was already waiting outside the Marriott Los Sueños lobby holding a sign with my name — I hadn’t expected that tiny jolt of relief. He greeted me in Spanish first (I tried to answer but stumbled over “buenos días” — he just grinned and switched to English). The van was cool inside, which felt like a small luxury after the muggy morning air, and there were two cold bottles of water ready on the seat. My bag got loaded before I even noticed.
The drive toward San José airport wasn’t rushed at all. Carlos asked if I wanted music or silence (I picked music, but low), and we rolled out past palm trees and roadside fruit stands. At one point he slowed down so I could snap a photo of some scarlet macaws overhead — he said they’re always around this stretch if you look up. The WiFi actually worked (I FaceTimed my mom for a minute; she saw the green hills behind me). We stopped once for coffee at a roadside soda — not fancy, just strong and sweet, and honestly better than anything at the hotel breakfast buffet.
I liked that there was no pressure about timing; Carlos said we could stop again if needed. There was something calming about letting someone else handle the route through Costa Rica’s winding roads while I watched the clouds shift over the mountains. When we pulled up to San José airport, he helped with my suitcase and wished me luck in Spanish again — this time I managed a proper “gracias.” Funny how those little moments stick more than you’d think.
