15 minutes away from Double Tree Resort. Hilton Hotel.
This port allowed our small cruise ship to berth while conducting repairs. Once they were complete, our buses were able to pull up and we could directly come aboard. They gave the passengers no trouble, however, the port authorities made difficulties for our bus drivers, insisting they had the wrong color safety vests. This kept us sitting at the port entrance for some time.
Industrial port with a wierd smell in the air.. The port doesn't allow cruise ship guests to walk on the pier and they should arrange for shuttle service from the ship or usually this is done by the cruise ship company guests are cruising with. But don't worry cos when u get outside there is still nothing around unless you take a taxi to puntarenas which takes about little over 30 minutes. There is nothing to do here unless you take a tour through your ship. Literally NOTHING.
Good
The port is far from the city. you need to take a shuttle buss to go to downtown
Quiet and gray sand beaches. No showers. Good for quick stops
Excelente lugar. Just that no restaurants or drinks or views
We docked here on the final day of our cruise. I had food poisoning, and would later be hospitalized for it. But what is outstanding about this port are its people. As sick as I was, I ended up laying on the ground waiting for our transportation, which took close to an hour. When the car finally arrived, and I tried to stand up, I felt strong hands pick me up from either side of me. To my shock and amazement, dock workers had picked me up to help me to the car. Several others - without prompting by anyone - picked up all our bags (2 large suitcases, two medium, and two backpacks) and carried them all to the car. It was a small gesture, for them, but a wonderful reflection on the people of Costa Rica. To these men, and the big boss who was so helpful, I wish you all the very best. You represented your country better than anyone else we met on the trip. Bless you all.
Pretty place you can see the sunset here
