Flight

SJO - Juan Santamaría International Airport

Please be sure to book your flight to SJO and not SJC. SJC is San Jose, California. On our first trip to Costa Rica, we did this, and while it worked out great in the end for us, we do not want you to make the same mistake!

House Or Rental

Airbnb & VRBO

The area of Dominical is beautiful and has numerous Airbnbs & VRBO homes for rent that would be great for groups traveling to the wedding.

Travel Note

Getting Around Costa Rica

We strongly suggest getting a rental vehicle (ideally with 4x4) to explore the area around Dominical - it is the best and most exciting way (in our opinion) to see the country! Rental vehicles are available in the nearby cities of Quepos & Uvita. Rental vehicles are also available at the San Jose airport, but navigating the city of San Jose can be stressful. There are shuttle services that can transport you from the San Jose Airport to Dominical. If you are renting a car download the Waze App before arriving. This is the only navigation App that is accurate in Costa Rica. Although we suggest it, a vehicle is not required.There are tours and excursion that are available for booking that will provide transportation as well as, taxis available for local transportation. Transportation will be provided the day of the wedding.

Rental Car

Kaima Rent a Car

Ask for Melanie - her English is fantastic. Email: info@kaimarentacar.com WhatsApp +506 8702 2717 They will actually pick you up from SJO airport and drive you to the house in your rental vehicle so you don’t have to do that first drive yourself! Flights often arrive in the afternoon or evening and it is dark in Costa Rica by 6:00 p.m. every night so this is a wonderful option that allows you to relax and not worry about driving at night. You complete the paperwork at the house, pay with with wireless credit card machine, they hand you the keys and then they are picked up by another driver and return to their home office. It was amazing service!
