Our private transfer Costa Rica from JW Marriott Costa Elena to Santa Teresa felt like a full cross-country experience. We left in the morning with luggage after a few quiet days, and I remember feeling slightly worn out from the heat already. The first part includes some bumpy and dusty stretches, then transitions into longer paved roads before reaching rougher sections again near Santa Teresa. It’s not a short trip, and you definitely notice the changes in road quality. Along the way, we passed dry forests, small towns, and eventually greener coastal areas. The shift in scenery was really noticeable and kept things interesting. Arriving in Santa Teresa, with its more lively and surf-focused vibe, felt like entering a completely different world compared to Costa Elena.

We arranged transportation in Costa Rica instead of driving ourselves since we had luggage and didn’t want to deal with a complicated route. Traveling with a friend, we appreciated how organized everything felt from pickup. The journey is quite long and includes different road conditions, from smoother highways to rougher sections closer to Santa Teresa. There are also curves that made my friend slightly uncomfortable, but the pace felt safe. We were glad to stop briefly to stretch and grab something cold because the heat builds during the day. The scenery shifts a lot, which made the ride interesting.

I booked a shared shuttle Costa Rica ride from JW Marriott Costa Elena to Santa Teresa, and it went smoothly overall. I had an early departure and was still a bit sleepy, but everything started on time. The first section is slightly rough leaving Costa Elena, then it becomes easier for a while. The heat was strong that day, so the cool interior made a difference. It’s a long journey, but pretty manageable.
