Directions Rocamar Villas

By car, bus, shuttle or taxi, from San Jose, Costa Rica and Juan Santamaria Airport, getting to Rocamar Villas in Esterillos Oeste is both beautiful and easy as you will follow a well marked and paved highway directly to the entrance. If this is your first trip plan on 2 1/2 hours from downtown San Jose and 2 hours from the airport.

From the Airport, you will get on the Pan American Highway (Hwy. #1) going north, and follow the signs to San Ramon; pass a Dos Pinos factory and a Puntarenas Ferry sign – it is about 12 Kms.
You will pass signs for La Garita, Sarchi, RECOPE fuel storage tanks, and then see a sign for “ATENAS 14 KM”. This is where you turn right and curve around, following the signs to Quepos / Jaco.
YOU WILL NOW FOLLOW SIGNS TO THE CALDERA HIGHWAY, MERGING WITH IT AT THE “LA GARITA” TURNOFF. You will pass through a number of toll stations and just before you get to the Jaco / Costenera exit, you will go through a Blue Pay station and pay the toll. Just past this toll station, you will exit off Hwy. # 27 by turning left and entering on to the Costenera highway. As you pass through the outskirts of Jaco and are on the north side, you will see the Crocodile Bridge. This is a great place to stop. You can see many Crocodiles hanging out in the river and there are some great shops. As you are driving though Jaco, you will pass Playa Hermosa – a famous surfing beach. It is on the right hand side of the road …a nice place to stop for lunch. From there, follow the signs to Esterillos is like 10 minutes away from Hermosa Beach!
