The coast is long. A beach walk is a workout. A trip to another resort strip is a taxi, a guagua or a hire car, and the fare should be agreed before the car moves.
Options
The resort coast is long; plan each trip.
- Taxis: waiting at resorts; agree the fare first.
- Guaguas: local minibuses on main roads.
- Car hire: useful for day trips; drive carefully.
- Shuttles: some resorts run them to shopping areas.
Frequently asked questions
Can I walk between resorts?
Along the beach, often yes; on the road, rarely.
How should I pay for a taxi?
Agree the fare before you set off. Taxis wait at resort ranks, and the price is not something to discover at the end of the ride.
