Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport (IATA: LIR, ICAO: MRLB), also known as Liberia International Airport, is the second busiest airport in Costa Rica. The airport is located in the city of Liberia in Guanacaste Province.
Liberia Intl Airport serves specially as a tourism hub for those who visit the Pacific coast and Western Costa Rica. Considered a main "gateway" to the Costa Rican Riviera often called the Golden Coast.

Just 30 minutes away from the Papagayo Gulf (Four Seasons Pagapayo, Hilton Papagayo, Occidental Papagayo) and 45 minutes to an hour from the other resorts like Westin Playa Cochal, RIU Guanacaste, Tamarindo Diria, Witch's Rock Surf Camp and JW Marriott at Hacienda Pinilla.

The scenery has a problem with the jetways that has been reported in several sites even here in Simmanrket but they removed it. For some reason the developer ignores to fix this
I bought this in December 2022, and there is a bump on the runway that has been reported by others earlier. I should have checked the recommendations first. There is still an opportunity to fix it and maybe fine-tune it a bit more (especially the GA ramp), and then it would get a better score. Right now it's only recommended if it's discounted, but landing on runway 07 with an airliner is a source of frustration.
Landing ILS 7 upon touchdown there's a huge bump in the runway that makes the airplane jump. No bump when taking off either direction. Also jetways don't attach properly. Have sent emails to the devs to have this fixed but have not received a reply.
