Hotel Giada sits in Samara, and we drive there every week. The transfer is private from door to door — your own vehicle, a local driver who knows the road, your flight tracked in case it lands late, and one flat price per vehicle with taxes included.
Prices in USD per vehicle (1–5 passengers, Hyundai Staria). For a group of 4 that works out to about $54 per person. Larger vehicles up to 12 passengers available — see all vehicles & prices.
The road between Liberia Airport (LIR) and Samara goes into the Nicoya Peninsula through Santa Cruz and Nicoya. For Sámara and Nosara you drop down to the coast from there; for Santa Teresa you cross the whole peninsula through Jicaral and Cóbano.
Paved as far as Nicoya and Sámara. The last stretches into Nosara and Santa Teresa are still stone and gravel road, so your driver takes them slowly.
This part of the country is slower than the map suggests - it is curves and small towns, not highway. Leaving early changes the whole trip.
Instant pricing, free cancellation up to 48h, and a driver waiting for you with a sign.
The same driver and the same flat price per vehicle, from the door of Hotel Giada to anywhere else on your itinerary:
