costa rica travel-San Jose to Manuel Antonio?
I have been reading through all the answers but have decided to ask myself a few questions. My fiance and I are traveling to Costa Rica for our honeymoon in October. My questions are all about transportation. I would ideally like to be picked up from the San Jose airport and be dropped off at our hotel in manual antonio. In order to do this, do you have to take a private bus or a taxi or rent a car? I have heard I shouldn’t rent a car, but wasn’t sure about a taxi if that would be safe? or the public bus? I am just concerned about safety and convenience that money is not an issue.
Thanks!
Also, traveling by air is not an option for us because I already know I would be way over my travel limit of 25 pounds.
I never rent a car when I go to CR. The driving is much different than in the states, and it makes me very nervous. You can take a taxi from the airport if you wish. The laws have gotten very strict about gypsy cabs and all the cabs at the airport are licensed and regulated.
My personal favorite is for the private shuttle. They meet you outside the airport with your name on a sign, load your luggage and take you to your hotel. On the way to Manual Antonio, they make a pit stop around the halfway point to use the bathroom, pick up refreshments and take a peak over the bridge to see the crocodiles.
It makes it nice because you don’t have to worry about navigation or pot holes and you can really enjoy the scenery on the way. This is the company that I use:
