    Great service. Picks you up at your hotel (even if not on the list shown) and drops you at your hotel in San Jose. They also WhatsApp you after booking. One 20 minute stop on-route. Friendly and helpful driver with good driving skills. Mini bus comfortable. Takes 10 people.

    The ride was primarily uncomfortable due to them booking to capacity, leaving minimal space for leg room, especially if you have a backpack or any other personal items. It was also a 6+ hour ride in this discomfort. Things to consider.

    HI there, Sorry to hear of your experience. This is the high season and we can fill up to 10 passengers in the van. And yes, with traffic in can be 6 hours or more sometimes for the trip depending on road conditions and traffic. We hope the remainder of your trip goes well. Thank you for the review.

    Easy transfer

    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.

    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.

    Great transfer with Caribe Shuttles

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

    Comfortable, convenient, longer than expected

    Dane_H, May 2022
    It was a comfortable van, and the driver was excellent. We stopped about three hours into our journey for a twenty-minute bathroom and snack break. The van's wifi was available but super slow. The company's website says this journey takes between 4-5 hours. With the current extensive road construction, it took six hours to get to San Jose Airport. I would use this service again.
