At Florblanca, we believe that arriving to paradise is the best part of the journey, and wish to make travel seamless from the moment you arrive in Costa Rica. Although there are a number of travel options, we highly recommend all of our guests to let us book a private charter. Flying to and from San Jose in a private plane allows you to not only arrive comfortably, but also to have a tour of the area from up above. The flight over the Nicoya Peninsula is breathtaking, and our highly skilled pilots will point on different attractions while explaining much about the area.
Should you book a charter, a representative from our private charter company will be waiting for you at the international gate. If your international flight has any delay, they will be well informed via satellite, and begin to adjust your travel arrangements to ensure you still travel to Florblanca with the upmost convenience. Upon arrival to Tambor, your ground transfer is included in the private travel package. Refreshments are offered on the plane, and should you have any special requests, Florblanca and our pilots will do our best to meet your needs.
Our concierge desk will make all transportation arrangements during your stay at Florblanca including confirming your return flights. Whether you arrive by charter, commercial flight, helicopter or car, we are pleased to assist you.
