A diamond in the rough! Getting here can be an adventure. A majority of the roads taken from the Liberia and San Jose International airports are paved. However, the gravel roads near the Resort can get bumpy. The roads should be fully paved in the near future!

Fabulous resort

The Sanctuary Resort is 2 hours drive from the Liberia Airport, but it is worth the drive. The Beach houses are great. The view of the ocean from the from porch is fabulous. The food was good. The pool was nice. The ocean is beautiful. The staff was great and very friendly. The first night we stayed in one of the hotel rooms. There was no view of the ocean. They moved us to a beach house, which was wonderful.

Time-saving tip: Not Applicable

Rent a car at the airport with a GPS. The cab ride was $127.00 one way. The resort is isolated and you will need a car. Get a 4 wheel drive.
