How long is the transfer from Liberia airport to Playa Conchal?+
About one hour, or roughly 70 minutes door to door if you're staying at one of the larger resorts. The route runs through Huacas — the same road as Flamingo — and is paved the entire way.
Do you drop off at the Westin Reserva Conchal?+
Yes, right at the entrance, along with the Reserva Conchal residences and any hotel in Brasilito. Public beach access to Conchal is through Brasilito, and it's every bit as beautiful as the resort side.
What is the best way to get from LIR to Playa Conchal?+
A private shuttle is the straightforward option at $135 per vehicle, door to door, with a fixed price and no waiting. There's no direct public bus — you'd transfer in Santa Cruz or Huacas and still need a taxi at the end. Rental cars work, but the parking situation near the beach access is awkward in high season.
Why is the sand at Playa Conchal different?+
Because it isn't sand. Conchal is made of tiny crushed shells, which is why the water sitting over it is so clear — it's among the best snorkelling spots in Guanacaste. Bring water shoes; walking barefoot on shells at midday is genuinely uncomfortable. Children tend to spend the entire visit collecting them.
