    What's the cost of a regular old Taxi to and from the resort from the Airport?
    Wondering if it's cheaper/any better than a transfer? Why or why not. Need some frequent TTR traveler opinions :)

    USA Transfers is the only way to go. $55 round trip for private transfer.

    $60 or $70 from the airport to the hotel in a fake 'taxi' plus $30 back with a real taxi

    Real cabs are not allowed to pick up at the airport, only drop off. The only company who can pick up without pre-arranged bookings is a company called greenline who have the word 'taxi' written on the side of their vehicles, but they don't operate anywhere else outside of the airport.

    They have simply paid for a very expensive exclusive licence to operate and rely on overcharging the uninformed who arrive without a pre-arranged transport option.

    USA Transfers is $55 round trip private transfer, payable on arrival. The words USA Transfers are converted into a link which will take you to the booking process.

    No simpler choice really.

    Thanks! I saw the transfer links earlier but didn't find info on any real taxis. Good to know about the "fake" ones! :)

    USA Transfers is the only way we will ever go since we read all the recommendations on here a couple of years ago. They are AWESOME, reliable, affordable and they get you there asap!

    That green taxi has taken us all the way down to Desire for $50 (4 people) at least 10X.

    I can't remember what they charged us to take us to TTR. But, it was less than that (again, for 4 people).

    Not trying to cut anyone out of a buck. Just answering the man's question.
