Our private transfer Costa Rica from JW Marriott Costa Elena to Andaz Papagayo was short but really enjoyable. We left mid-morning after a few quiet days, carrying luggage and already feeling the strong sun. The first part of the journey is a bit bumpy and dusty, which wakes you up quickly, but it smooths out after a while. I remember feeling slightly tired at the start, but once we got moving, it felt calm and refreshing. Along the way, we passed dry forest landscapes that gradually shifted into greener coastal views. Arriving in Papagayo, with its more vibrant and polished resort atmosphere, felt like stepping into a completely different setting after the peaceful surroundings of Costa Elena.
We arranged transportation in Costa Rica for this short route since we had luggage and didn’t want to deal with directions. Traveling with my partner, everything felt well organized from the start. The ride begins with some uneven sections, then connects to better roads as you approach Papagayo. There are a few curves along the way, and I felt slightly uneasy at times, but the pace was steady. We also appreciated a quick stop to stretch and cool down because of the heat. The scenery gradually became greener and more developed, which was a nice change from Costa Elena.
I booked a private transfer Costa Rica from JW Marriott Costa Elena to Andaz Papagayo, and it was very smooth. I had an early pickup and was still a bit sleepy, but everything started on time. The first stretch is slightly rough leaving Costa Elena, then it becomes smoother. The morning heat was already noticeable, so the cool interior made the ride comfortable. Overall, quick and easy.
