Andaz Costa Rica Resort at Peninsula Papagayo

Transportation to and from the hotel takes approximately 35 minutes when flown into Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport, better known as Liberia International Airport (LIR). Although the smaller of the two international airports in Costa Rica, Liberia International Airport has convenient non-stop destinations to most major US cities and is serviced by all major carriers such as American, Alaska, Delta, United, Southwest, and jetBlue. This is likely the preferred option for most guests. Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO) in San Jose is the primary international airport of Costa Rica with a larger number of flights and central location. While this airport might be suitable for an extended Costa Rica itinerary, please note that the drive from San Jose to the hotel is significantly further (approximately 3-4 hours). For various transportation options to the hotel, please visit the website below. If you wish to rent a car, we recommend using Sixt. We have personally had poor experience with Hertz and have read many negative online reviews about Hertz and other agencies besides Sixt. Taxis to and from the airport are plentiful and do not require a reservation

Q + A

Who says you can't find love online? We are happy we didn't listen as we were both losing hope in love until we found each other. By a twist of fate, we came into each other's online proximity while Sean was staying in Woodland and Peter was flying back from Egypt. We clicked immediately, and it wasn't too many messages later that we set a date to meet. On January 20th, 2022, we had our first date at Hook &amp; Ladder in Sacramento. As a budding traveler, Sean was impressed by Peter's extensive list of places he's been. He was captivated by Peter's intellect, point of view, and beautiful smile. Peter, on the other hand, was charmed by Sean's enthusiasm for life, vibrant conversation, and how he lights up a room. Our relationship blossomed from there. Sean was living in Napa Valley and Peter in Sacramento. Sean's sporadic weekends were spent with Peter, exploring Sacramento together. We discovered our shared love for travel, trying new restaurants, and spending quiet evenings enjoying wine. After a year of dating, Peter invited Sean to move in with him. Following months of Sean commuting between Napa Valley and Sacramento for work, Sean transferred to a job closer to home. Our love continued to grow as we navigated living together, blending our routines, and learning even more about each other. A big trip to Antarctica had been in the works for quite some time, and it was there, surrounded by icebergs and penguins, that Sean asked Peter to marry him. Peter couldn't let Sean have all the glory with the proposal and surprised Sean with a ring of his own while we were in the Maldives, enjoying a private sunset and champagne experience. We spent our second Valentine's Day at the Andaz Papagayo in Costa Rica and fell in love with the country, its people, and the resort. When considering locations for our wedding, Costa Rica made its way to the top of our list. We align with the motto of the country, "Pura Vida," which translates to "Pure Life" but means so much more. It's a lifestyle, a feeling, a perspective, encapsulating how Costa Ricans cherish life's simplest pleasures and find joy in the little things. We couldn't think of a more perfect place to start the next chapter of our lives together. We can't wait to share this next part of our journey with all of you!
