 Taxi, Jeep, Scooter & Shuttle
To go to the village, the other hotels or to transfer from and to the airport, there is a taxi service at Cayo Largo available 24/24. Some people prefer to pay a taxi to go to the airport rather than wait for the shuttle with all the other tourists.
For diving, catamaran cruise, excursions to "La Isla Grande" (Havana, Pinar del Rio, Trinidad, Isla de la Juventud, etc.), the transportation (shuttle bus) is included in the price.
Shuttle for Playa Sirena, Playa Paraiso and Punta mal Tiempo
Hotels: 9:00, 10:30 & 11:30
West beaches: 13:30, 15:00 and 17:00
The transfer is available everyday. It is free, since the nautical center of all the hotels is now located at Playa Sirena. You may ask for a picnic (lunch box) the night before at the front desk, claim it before you get on the bus.
