What time do I need to arrive for Day 1?

The arrival flight could be between 7am -7pm. However, we recommend an afternoon arrival at SJO International airport between 12-2pm because the check in time at the hotel is by 2-3pm.

I had a quick question about the airport transfer. It says the airport transfer is included but not if their is a time frame your flight has to arrive within?

There is not a time frame for arrival flight time

Awful accommodation, no food options for vegetarians, nowhere to walk in San Jose as a solo female traveler- didn’t feel safe.
