I liked this better than the public transportation. It is a couple more bucks, but I think it’s worth it. The driver was on time and picked up the other passengers and we headed out at a decent time. We stopped to use the bathroom and eat if we wanted and swapped drivers. Even though there was traffic, we got to our destination at a great time. The bus had ac and wifi. This is great for people wanting to travel solo or with a group at a reasonable price.

Easy transfer to San Jose - on time and easy way to get there. Dropped us off at our hotel. There is a stop along the way so you get a chance to use a bathroom and purchase food for breakfast.
Great way to get around Costa Rica

Pick up was as expected, shuttle driver helped load the bags, and drove well. The unexpected extra was mobile wifi, so if you are so inclined, you can blog your way through the entire 5 hour transit. A stop at a local roadside cafe half way through the journey allows refuelling with coffee and typical Costa Rican food. Price for a 5 hour trip is very reasonable
Beach town

A tourist town with beautiful beaches and affordable prices. Currently, several works are being carried out because the elections are approaching, and this causes some transit difficulties (although nothing too serious). We were also surprised that to load fuel you must travel about 5 km to the neighboring city
Exceptionally smooth journey in high quality minibus

Exceptionally good journey in a well equipped, brand new minibus, with WiFi, USB-C charging ports, individually controlled air vents and lights. Arrived promptly and smoothly driven. Best shuttle journey we had in Costa Rica.

Shuttle showed up bang on time. Comfortable journey with a stop half way through. And we got to San Jose ahead of schedule!
