🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Cahuita bus stop → Hotel Caribbean Coconut (beach road stop)
💡 The bus runs the coastal road to Puerto Viejo and stops near the hotel's turn-off. Tell the driver 'Hotel Coco' and they'll drop you at the entrance. Buy a prepaid card at the Cahuita grocery store for easier payment.
Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO) → Hotel Caribbean Coconut
💡 Book a shared shuttle instead if you're on a budget — Caribe Shuttle runs SJO to Cahuita for around $55 per person. The private taxi is faster but potholes slow you down either way.
Cahuita bus stop or town centre → Hotel Caribbean Coconut
💡 No Uber or apps — flag down a red taxi on the main road. Agree the fare before getting in; trips within town rarely exceed 1500 colones. Walk if you have light luggage — it's 10 minutes along the beach path.
