From the Airport (Juan
Santamaria International, San Jose):
Turn left outside of the airport and follow the signs to San Ramon.
Continue about 15 miles on the main highway to the Atenas exit, which
will be on the right. Do not miss this exit, otherwise you will continue
to San Ramon. You know you are close to the exit when you see a group of
large oil storage tanks on your left. At the end of the exit ramp, turn
left, cross the bridge, and follow the road through the mountain pass to
Atenas, then through San Mateo, to Orotina.
About 5 minutes outside of town (Orotina), take the (almost 240 degree)
turn off to Jaco / Quepos. From there continue on the highway past Jaco
(do not turn right to Jaco), through Parrita, then straight to where the
highway ends in Quepos (20 minutes past Parrita). You will cross a
bridge into Quepos, then veer to your left onto the main street. If you
do not veer left you will be driving on a dike along side the ocean.
Follow the main road for about 3 blocks, and turn left immediately past
the park (you should see a sign indicating the turn to Manuel Antonio).
Then follow the road for 4 more blocks until you see a Soccer field on
your left, here veer right on to the Manuel Antonio road. Continue below
to the appropriate location.
Follow the Manuel
Antonio road for about 3.5 km. You will pass a soccer field and grocery
store on your left, then continue for another 300 meters where you will
find Pacifico Colonial on your right.
