Planning Your Stay
Vacation Rental Questions
Which airport should we fly into?
The closest airport to Los Sueños Resort and Jacó Beach is Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO), located near Alajuela about 20 km west of downtown San José. Travel time to the Central Pacific from SJO is approximately 1 hour 15 minutes. If you fly into Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport (LIR) in Liberia, travel time is approximately 2 hours 45 minutes.
Should I use the transportation service or rent a car at the airport?
You may want a rental car for exploring the area. If you have never been to Costa Rica before, we recommend using our transportation service after your travel day. Our Guest Services staff can also assist with a rental car if you prefer.
Do I need an international driver's license?
Your valid U.S. or Canadian driver's license is accepted while visiting Costa Rica. You are required to carry your passport, or a copy, to demonstrate that you are within your authorized period of stay.
How do I reserve a house or condominium?
Call us toll free at +1 (888) 588-2736. We will collect your reservation details and immediately send your reservation confirmation.
What is the cancellation policy?
A sixty (60) day notice is required for cancellation. Cancellations made more than sixty (60) days before arrival are subject to a 10% cancellation fee or $100, whichever is greater. Cancellation or early departure does not warrant a refund of rent or deposit. If you anticipate shortening your stay, we suggest purchasing travel insurance separately.
Are U.S. dollars accepted in Costa Rica?
Yes, U.S. dollars are widely accepted. If you need Costa Rican colones, local banks generally offer better exchange rates than airport currency exchanges.
Your Property, Your Choice
Owner Questions
Can I use my property while it is in the rental program?
Absolutely—it is your property. Other rental programs charge owners to use their condominiums personally. We believe homeowners should have the freedom to enjoy their investment.
Can I rent my property privately while it is in the rental program?
Yes. We can assist with your private rental by providing the same attentive service we provide to all our guests.
How are rental rates set?
Rates are determined by market demand, comparable properties and seasonal conditions. We closely monitor trends and adjust rates to maximize occupancy and owner revenue.
