It depends. You can walk to a mini-super, buses stop by in front of The Oaks once an hour, and our front gate guards can get you a taxi for $9 to Tamarindo. However, when you consider the cost of transportation to and from the airport, about $80 to $90 each way by taxi or van (less in a shared ride service if you only have one or two people), it almost always makes sense to rent a car. The net cost above the cost of your airport transfers, which then would not be needed, is very low, and you can explore 11 nearby beaches, plus tourist attractions and restaurants, at your convenience. We have a guide to how to rent a car cheaply and efficiently at our web site.

A bus stops in front of The Oaks once an hour, each way, north and south. There is a convenience store 500 meters north. Our guards also can call for taxis, $9 to Tamarindo.
