This is the high season. You definitely need to book it in advance. The sooner you book, the better your chances of landing the cheapest fare on Nature Air. Sansa's fares are the same no matter when you book them. Nature Air is usually cheaper, and they fly out of Pavas which is closer than SJO from the gulch.
I tried to walk up once in Tamarindo for SJO without pre-booking. The guy asked for my ticket, then they all had a good laugh at my expense when I said that I didn't have one. It cost me $200 for a one-way taxi to SJ.
