Driving distances in costa rica? Romantic hotel ideas?
Hi… How long is the drive between San Jose and Manuel Antonio in Costa Rica? Is there a closer airport to Manuel Antonio?
I hear Manuel Antonio is very romantic with alot of activities available… are there other areas good for a romantic private vaction? Any secluded hotel ideas for honeymooners?
Thanks much in advance! 
I’m not sure why google maps is giving me such a hard time with costa rican info…
I think it took us about 3 or 4 hours to get from San Jose to Manual Antonio. There is a small airport outside Quepos and if you wish you can take a puddle jumper from San Jose to Quepos. It is definitely quicker than driving.
We stayed at the Costa Verde Resort. This place is perfect for honeymooners. The resort is spread out over a large slab of land so it gives the illusion of privacy, but with all the modern conveniences. The have a gift shop and restaurant on property and 2 more within walking distance. The rooms were very large and clean with a full kitchen. There were hiking trails right on property. My favorite characteristic was the huge balcony overlooking the ocean and the big rocking chairs
Keep in mind that driving is CR is much different than in the states. The roads are not well marked and in many cases not well maintained. So even if things look close, it doesn’t mean you’ll necessarily be able to drive their quickly.
I usually leave the driving to someone else. I get a shuttle or cab to my location and I use tour companies that do hotel pickup (most of them) and use local cabs for going farther distances to explore. Driving can be an adventure or a nightmare if you aren’t familiar, and I prefer to keep my adventures with a guide in the jungle.
