Private Transportation From the Central Pacific to Guanacaste
Manuel Antonio is located on Costa Rica's Central Pacific coast, while JW Marriott Costa Elena is in northern Guanacaste.

Travelers researching the destination can review the JW Marriott Costa Elena Resort & Spa information.

When requesting transportation, provide the complete property name, travel date, preferred departure time, number of passengers and relevant luggage information.

Actual journey conditions can vary because of traffic, weather and road conditions, so fixed onward activities should be planned with appropriate flexibility.

Booking a private transfer Costa Rica from Manuel Antonio to JW Marriott Costa Elena turned into a full-day journey, but one I actually enjoyed. We left early with luggage after a humid morning near the coast, and I remember feeling a bit drained before even starting. The drive covers a lot of ground, beginning with lush green scenery and gradually transitioning into the dry landscapes of Guanacaste. There are long highway stretches, occasional traffic near towns, and then quieter, more remote roads toward the end. As the environment changed, it really felt like we were traveling across different regions of the country. By the time we arrived at Costa Elena, the calm and secluded atmosphere made the long ride feel completely worth it.
We decided on transportation in Costa Rica instead of flying or renting a car, mainly because we had two suitcases and didn’t want the stress. Traveling as a couple, we appreciated how punctual the pickup was in Manuel Antonio. The route is quite long, with a mix of highways and some slower sections through towns. There are curves along the way, and I felt slightly uneasy at times, but the pace was steady. We made a quick stop to grab snacks and stretch, which helped a lot. The weather became noticeably hotter and drier as we approached Costa Elena.
I used a shared shuttle Costa Rica option from Manuel Antonio to JW Marriott Costa Elena, and it was a long but easy day. I was a bit tired after a morning at the beach, so I mostly rested during the ride. The journey starts smooth, then has some curves and warmer weather as you head north. The air conditioning helped a lot with the heat. Overall, everything ran on time and felt well organized.
