Getting to Costa Rica from the United States and Canada is simple. AA, Continental, Delta, United, US Air, America West, Martinair, Air Canada and LACSA/Grupo Taca (the Costa Rican airline) all have regularly-scheduled flights to San José.
Once you are in San José, we will help you get to Lomas Coronado. The easiest and quickest way to reach these wonderful ocean and mountain-view properties is to fly. Two local airlines – Sansa and Nature Air – operate round-trip flights in the morning to Palmar Sur. It's a 40-minute flight. The cost is about US $180 round trip per person. Nature Air also offers daily round-trip flights to Palmar Sur from Quepos.
We will meet you at the Palmar Sur airport and drive you north along the coastal highway. It takes about 25 minutes by car to get from the airport to Lomas Coronado.
If you would like to travel overland to see more of the country, we can arrange land transportation from San José. Three routes are possible:
1) There is the 'follow-your-nose-route' which will take you south along the Interamerican Highway directly via Cartago and Pérez Zeledón (San Isidro de El General) to Palmar Norte. From there you drive to the coastal highway and then north to Lomas Coronado.
2) A second route, more interesting and slightly shorter in terms of distance, is to drive on the Interamerican Highway over the mountains to Pérez Zeledón, then take a right to Dominical on the Pacific coast. At Dominical, turn south along the coastal highway (the stretch from Dominical to Palmar Norte is the best road in the country!) past Playa Uvita and Ojochal. Both trips take just a little over four hours.
3) The third route is to go west from San José through Jacó and Quepos, and continue south along the unpaved coastal road - it's a lot better now than it used to be, and it will be paved shortly - to Dominical, and then further past Playa Uvita and Ojochal to Lomas Coronado.
Let us know your travel preference. We can also drive you to Lomas ourselves from almost anywhere in the country.
