jjg24014 Posted April 15, 2014 #1 Share Posted April 15, 2014 We will be on the 3/21/15 cruise leaving Caldera. Does Azamara generally have a preferred hotel in each embarkation port? If so how far in advance are they usually announced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArubaTuesday Posted April 19, 2014 #2 Share Posted April 19, 2014 We will be on the 3/21/15 cruise leaving Caldera. Does Azamara generally have a preferred hotel in each embarkation port? If so how far in advance are they usually announced? For January 2014 cruise leaving from Caldera, Azamara used the Real Intercontinental near San Jose, Costa Rica. Not sure if they will use same hotel in 2015. It appears to be a fine hotel but my wife and I stayed at a nice Doubletree Hotel a few miles from the San Jose airport.

johnandlinda Posted April 19, 2014 #4 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Did you use Azamara transportation transfer from the Doubletree? Did they provide it from Real Intercontinental Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lubalouis Posted September 19, 2015 #5 Share Posted September 19, 2015 My Mom and I are taking the Azamara on January 3rd. We are also looking for a hotel for one night and transportation to Puerta Caldera. The Azamara package is the Real Continental, including transport to the port....it is quite pricey.

lubalouis Posted September 19, 2015 #7 Share Posted September 19, 2015 How did you get to the port? Was it a package deal with the ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Avery Posted September 19, 2015 #8 Share Posted September 19, 2015 we had a very nice stay at the San Jose Marriott near the airport. Not too much near Caldera. took a tour from the hotel to Poas Volcano then delivered to the ship in Caldera. This hotel used to be a coffee plantation. We recommend a Concierge Level room as the meals they included were good. Lovely grounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DebJ14 Posted September 19, 2015 #10 Share Posted September 19, 2015 My Mom and I are taking the Azamara on January 3rd. We are also looking for a hotel for one night and transportation to Puerta Caldera. The Azamara package is the Real Continental, including transport to the port....it is quite pricey. It is probably pricey because the transportation from San Jose to the Pacific Coast is pricey. We got a great deal through a company we booked our fishing trip through, but it still cost us $150.00 + tip for the one way transfer. Our hotel wanted $200 for the one way transfer if we arranged it through them. It is a fairly long ride from San Jose to Puerto Caldera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
