Traveler advice
Getting around
Taxi, rental car, golf cart, rental beach cruiser
Taxis' are normally park by the main road in front of La Plaza.
Public bus runs everywhere by the bus stop after the bridge and goes town to town. This is the cheapest but hardest and time consuming to get around.
You can rent a golf cart or car in the area and we are happy to assist you with that.
