air travel

There are 2 options for flying into Costa Rica: via San Jose or Liberia

Continental Airlines - Most cities fly into Houston (IAH) for connections to Liberia Airport, and San Jose, Costa Rica. San Jose is about 5 hours drive, whereas Liberia is about 20 minutes from the villas. We will be working with Continental and the villas for discounted airfare from Houston to Liberia (We believe this will apply on the connecting flights into Houston as well. You are also free to handle booking your own flights in lieu of the group arrangement with Continental Airlines.) We will contact you with instructions and options for this around August 2006 once the rsvps have been received. Please check back for more information regarding flights, this page will be updated. We personally recommend flying into Liberia as it is just 20 minutes from the villas, however typically the tickets are a bit more in price. The 2-3 extra hours avoided in driving time on a 2-lane mountain road with logging trucks on it is well worth it.

for everyone
You must have a valid passport. Forget what you have experienced in the past or what others tell you. It is required for everyone including children! The passport MUST be valid for at least 6 months after your arrival date. In other words on June 17th, 2007 (the day you arrive) your passport must be valid up until December 17th of 2007.

for surfers
If you are planning to travel with your board/s please check your airline to be sure you understand their restrictions and extra fees. Typically Continental will charge $100 per board bag each way, and will not insure it. I never get charged for the $100 return fee when leaving Costa Rica….its a Pura Vida thing. We will have access to rental boards. Please see your rsvp card to alert us of your needs including sizes and days needed. I will update the website as we get closer regarding the board rental charges.
