Private Transfer Monteverde to JW Marriott Costa Elena

Get to your resort without the rental car hassle, with a driver who knows the road.

A private transfer from Monteverde to JW Marriott Costa Elena takes approximately 3.5 hours in an air-conditioned vehicle with WiFi on board.

Specialized infant seats are available.

The experience

How do you get from Monteverde down to the coast without renting a car or waiting for a shuttle? A private transfer means your driver arrives at your hotel or meeting point, loads your luggage, and takes you directly to JW Marriott Costa Elena. The vehicle is air-conditioned and has WiFi, so the 3.5-hour drive is not downtime. It is a chance to rest, work or watch the landscape change as you descend from the cloud forest toward the Pacific. The driver is trained to spot animals along the route and will point them out if you want. A few words of Spanish might come up too if you are interested.

Halfway through, you stop. Whether that means a restroom break, a meal, or just stretching your legs is up to you: the driver asks what you need. A few minutes before you reach the resort, the driver gives you a heads-up so you can organize your bags and be ready to step out and start your stay. The operations team calls the day before to confirm the time and any special requests, like a supermarket stop or ATM visit on the way.
