"Condovac La Costa – Budget Experience The location is convenient to Coco Beach, but Uber is still around $20 USD each way, so transportation adds up quickly. This is definitely a budget-oriented resort. Food was very basic and repetitive, often with items unavailable, and there was no access to food ..."

Frequently asked questions

What's included in an El Real vacation package?
An El Real vacation package lets you combine round-trip flights, a hotel stay, and a rental car. Most resorts offer airport shuttle service to and from Liberia (LIR-Daniel Oduber Intl.) Airport, making arrivals and departures smooth. About half of hotels include free breakfast, and many properties in El Real provide direct beach access.

Exactly what's included will vary by hotel and package, so it's worth reviewing the details before you confirm your booking.
How can I save money on a El Real vacation package?
When you bundle, you can save up to 30%*. To save money on a El Real package, consider traveling during the quieter months or be flexible with your dates to find more options. Bundling your flights and hotel together often unlocks savings compared to booking separately. *Members only. Savings vary.
Is El Real better suited for a beach vacation or a cultural trip?
El Real is primarily a beach destination, ideal for travelers seeking sun, sand, and outdoor activities. Its reputation for beaches, scenic views, and adventure activities makes it a strong choice for an El Real vacation focused on nature and relaxation. You'll find beautiful stretches of coastline like Samara Beach, about 6 miles from central El Real, and Coco Beach, about 18 miles away.

Browse and book things to do in El Real on Expedia.
Do you need to rent a car in El Real, or is public transport enough?
For an El Real vacation package, a rental car offers the most flexibility for exploring the region's beaches and outdoor attractions, especially since it's an outdoor and nature destination outside a major city. While many resorts offer on-site dining and activities, a car allows you to venture out to different beaches or explore the surrounding natural beauty at your own pace.

If your El Real beach vacation packages focus primarily on a single resort, you might not need a car for daily activities. However, for getting to and from Liberia (LIR-Daniel Oduber Intl.) Airport and for any excursions, local taxis or shuttle services are available.
Can I change or cancel my El Real vacation package if my plans change?
Yes, you can cancel your vacation package via your itinerary page on Expedia or by contacting customer service. Remember that some packages are fully refundable, but the details vary based on each unique booking. A fully refundable package may depend on how far out from the travel dates you're canceling and what airline you are traveling with.
Do One Key members get extra savings when booking El Real vacation packages?
Yes, members who join our free One Key™ travel rewards program can instantly unlock additional savings and save 10% or more on over 500,000 stays worldwide with Member Prices and over 1 million car rentals.
Does Expedia offer Book Now, Pay Later El Real vacation packages?
Yes, with Expedia's Book Now, Pay Later option, powered by Affirm, you can spread the cost of your El Real vacation over 3, 6, or 12 months. With no late payment fees or hidden costs, it's easy to secure your ideal vacation package as soon as you spot it.

How does free cancellation work on El Real vacation packages?
Free cancellation on a El Real vacation package depends on the specific hotel and rate combination you book. Many bookings allow free cancellation up to a stated deadline (often a few days before travel) where eligible. Read the cancellation terms carefully when reviewing the package, and visit Expedia help center for further details.
Is it cheaper to book a El Real vacation as a package or separately?
Booking flights and hotels together can unlock lower overall prices. Better still, you can tailor your El Real getaway to match your exact preference. Pick your preferred flight time, select the hotel type and add a car rental. Explore our bundles to see how much you can save.
