Customer Service A+++++
My first transfer was from San Jose to Liberia, they picked me at the lobby of Hotel Presidente, 15 minutes early. My second transfer 6 days later was from Peninsula Papagayo to Liberia once again they were early to pick me up at the lobby. My third transferred was from Liberia airport to San Jose where I spent two more days. My last transfer was from Hotel Presidente to San Jose Airport at 3 am. Two of my transfers were private and two were shared, all four were timely and the drivers made the ride enjoyable. The booking staff was extremely accommodating and made a change to one of my reservations 24 hours in advance. This company is reliable, responsive and accommodating. Highly recommended. A+++++
