Nighttime Terminal Closure

Guanacaste Airport does not operate around the clock. The passenger terminal closes its doors overnight after the final commercial flight of the day (approximately between 20:00 and 05:00). For security and operational reasons, sleeping or staying overnight inside the building is not permitted.

Furthermore, the terminal lacks luggage storage, designated overnight rest areas, and 24-hour food or convenience outlets. Travelers departing on early morning flights or arriving late in the evening should reserve overnight accommodations at nearby hotels along Route 21 or in downtown Liberia.
