The staff were awesome. Four members were waiting at the airport to greet us and take our luggage. Our driver advised us that he was at our service for the day and that we could stop anywhere in route. He took us to a fabulous roadside stand for breakfast, where we all feasted on poached eggs, rice, beans and toast in a mild red sauce. Breakfast for 5 cost only $8. Leave a Comment

They ask you 900 colones for a car with driver and 30 colones each extra person (and when I was there 1US$ was about 380 colones).
But this service will stop when the nearby bridge, which is being built, will be finished... Leave a Comment Theme: OtherPhone: +506 661-8105

If you are picking up, or dropping off a car with Avis in Liberia, they are very difficult to find as they have no signs. But they are located in the back of the Burger King in Liberia. Leave a Comment

Make sure you rent a car while in town. Even though you have everything right there in town you'll want to explore the surrounding province. There are so many awesome beaches just within a short car drive. Spend the days exploring other local towns and come back to all the action at night. There are several local car agencies but the only American one I saw was Alamo. Make sure you get a 4x4 and pay the extra cash for full coverage. Some of the roads there are pretty crazy during the green season.

If you want to go the least expensive route possible, you can take Alfaro bus which leaves from their own terminal 100 metres north of Coca Cola in downtown San Jose. The Tamarindo bus leaves at 8:30 am and 11:30 am daily and takes a good 7 hours to arrive. There are no bathrooms or AC and the road is quite bumpy on the last stretch. Expect to stop often to pick people up. Not the most comfortable bus in Costa Rica.
The bus returns at 3:30 and 5 AM daily or 1 pm on Sundays and the route back is about 6 hours. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

In order to arrive at Beach Tamarindo there are 2 options, take a direct bus from San jOse, that leaves once a day, Alfaro terminal or the one that I had to do, to spend one night in San jOse (I do not recommend it to anybody), to rise very early, go to the Coca-Cola terminal, to take a 2 there bus to Santa Cruz, time 2hs., and to wait for the Tamarindo bus.time 1.30hs.

We just got back from a wonderful 2 weeks in Tamarindo. We used the services of Denise & Paul with Xplore Costa Rica and we can't say enough good about them. They helped us from before our arrival with immediate email response; the airport pickup and tours (Palo Verde - ATV Canopy Combo - Fishing and Sunset Sailing). They were always on time, helpful with suggestions and tips and we always felt that we were in good hands. Although they're just starting out, they're #1 with us. Highly recommended! Leave a Comment
