I took the Shuttle from my hotel in La Fortuna to Playa Tamarindo with this shuttle – my third shuttle company of the trip. They picked us up on time. We stopped after 2 hours at a good coffee / snack / rest area shop. Some of the roads they had to go down were super bumpy. The driver was really friendly and super helpful. This is the first time I’ve used a shuttle in Central America where we were not 11 people stuffed into a minivan. I actually had leg room! I do wish we had Wifi but I would use them again.
