Airport / Hotel Transfers
You have a few choices on how you wish to travel to your resort:
Pre-arranged airport/hotel transfers are usually included in your package price. This is very a cost-effective option, especially when traveling with larger families or groups.

Car-hire is affordable and can be pre-arranged or booked on arrival at the airport.
