The journey to San Buenas Golf Resort & Spa begins at Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO) in San José, followed by a three-hour westward drive that traces the spine of Costa Rica's central highlands before descending toward the Pacific coast. The route gradually sheds the cool mountain air of the capital for the warm, salt-tinged breezes of Puntarenas Province, passing through verdant coffee plantations and small villages before the final turn toward the resort. As the road narrows and the jungle canopy thickens, the transition becomes complete - you are no longer simply traveling to a golf destination, but entering a secluded sanctuary where the rhythms of the rainforest and ocean converge.
