Travel & Accommodations

FLYING There are 2 airports in Costa Rica that you can fly through: 1) Liberia Guanacaste Airport (LIR) (1.25 hour drive to Hacienda Pinilla) 2) San Jose Airport (SJO) (4.5 hour drive to Hacienda Pinilla) We recommend flying into Liberia, unless you plan to visit other locations throughout your visit where SJO would make more sense. TRANSPORTATION LIR and SJO have all of the major car rental companies - Economy, Enterprise, Alamo, Budget, Avis, National, and Vamos Rent-a-Car. You can also arrange for a shuttle service to get you to and from LIR airport. (Details to come) STAYING Hacienda Pinilla is a large beachside community that has the Beach Club where the wedding will be. We recommend renting one of the beautiful homes with a group inside Hacienda Pinilla or staying at one of the hotels listed below. GETTING AROUND We will arrange a shuttle for our wedding events and recommend renting a car and/or golf cart to get around Hacienda Pinilla for the rest of your stay.

Flight

Liberia Guanacaste Airport

Liberia Guanacaste Airport is the closest airport to Hacienda Pinilla and is about a 5.5 hour direct flight from LAX. It's a small airport that's very easy to navigate and about 1.25 hour drive to Hacienda Pinilla. The roads are in great condition, and you can rent a car or arrange for transportation. For our friends traveling from LA, we recommend booking the non-stop Alaska Airlines flight. There is one flight per day from LAX to Liberia airport and we recommend booking as soon as possible.

Flight

San Jose Airport

We recommend flying into Liberia, unless you plan to visit other locations throughout your visit where SJO would make more sense.
