Welcome to Costa Rica and to #nostrica
Advise when you get to the airport and need free WiFi 📡 and/or Uber 🚗. Or just connect and send us a note saying "PV" and collect zaps 😂
There's free WiFi all over the airport, with no captive portal (email collection) and as secure as a free spot can be. It's called "SJO Free WiFi" and it's provided by the airport administration.
If you need an Uber ride, request it once you are outside the terminal (there's only one exit for passengers). Then select the pickup location as "Upper level, second crosswalk"; this is because Uber is not permitted legally in the country (yet), and there's cops specially at the arrivals section controlling. BUT not so many by the departures ("salidas") ... so drivers will pick you up there. It is on the second level (there's stairs and elevators in the parking right in front the exit). Whatout for Uber chat to confirm pickup.
Use Uber if your hotel is near, or plan going nearby. I don't recommend using the taxis at the airport as they are ridiculously expensive! 🚕 🚫
Uber will be expensive to Uvita, get a ride share or carpooling ❗
Pura vida and "bienvenidos"
