San Juan del Sur (SJDS) is a bustling port town 2.5 - 3 hours from Managua Airport (depending on traffic and time of travel). San Juan del Sur is also about 1.5 - 2 hours from Liberia airport in Costa Rica. El Remanso is located 4.6 Km south from San Juan del Sur. It is a smooth ride on a dirt road, only 15 minutes away from San Juan! You can rent a 2-WD car at the airport and drive to el Remanso beach house. It also be great for any other day trips. However, if you want to explore near by surfer beaches (Maderas, Popoyo, Majagual, Gigante etc), we recommend to rent a 4-W car. You can also make arrangements with a local taxi for pick up to run errrands between Remanso and San Juan. Just ask us if you need more tips.
