Here's the site for Interbus: https://www.interbusonline.com/home/home.asp Now there's mention of an agency that books on Interbus a bit cheaper but the link appears broken.
GrayLine also offers good shuttle services: http://www.graylinecostarica.com/graylinetouristbus.php
And don't forget that if you are coming down for dental work through our Sponsor, Esthetic Dental/Smile 90210, they offer an airport shuttle service (at least inbound). See their ad on the Board for details.
As an alternative: for bus schedules everywhere in Costa Rica including from the airport to the Gulch, see: http://www.thebusschedule.com/cr This has been mentioned here before so a Search will yield results.

I can tell you that on my trip in April (4 nights), excluding room and air, I spent an average of $200 per day for taxis, food, drinks, massages and chicas and also included in my exit tax. I am not a heavy drinker (maybe 2-3 beers and 1-2 vodka cranberry per 24 hr period) and I had two sessions per day (non MP's), and also had three days that I received a total legit massage from a girl who works at the SL. So like I said, $200 a day was comfortable for me. I really did not skip anything that I wanted but I did not drink myself silly and eat at the high end restaurants either. I actually had most meals at the SL and really enjoyed the food there.

I am going back for 10 days beginning next week and planned a budget of $300 per day but that is only because I am planning on taking several tours and a fishing trip while I am down. It is my b-day week so I am splurging a bit more but chances are I will come in well under budget.



Quoting myself...LOL

Just to update, for 10 nights at SL, plus one overnight tour, food, drinks, chicas and some shopping with my local chica....came in just under $2,900. Only cost I am excluding is air. And if I would not have met the hot Dominican at Pantera Rose I could have come back with about $225 more but two long sessions with her was worth the splurge. :lol: :lol:

For a 7 night trip, I bring about $3000 in cash. I spend $200 to $300 a day on hookers and whisky. The rest I just piss away.
