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
