Transport
Two companies operate- Ultramar and Winjet
Their websites post the schedule and you can book tickets online. We always book an open ticket one way. Then you have options on your return as the companies alternate. One leaves on the even hours 8,10,12,2 and the other leaves on the odd hours 9,11,1 etc. Round trip tickets are just double the one way cost. Open tickets are good for a month.

Taxis
Taxis are very inexpensive and safe. They can be here in just a few minutes. Have security call one for you. Ask the rate before getting in the taxi. Or we found rates cheaper by hailing a taxi by standing near the road. Ask the rate to your destination before getting into the taxi. Peso rate is typically less.

Operations manual
We have a notebook on the counter with lots of helpful information about how things like the stove top, fan, air conditioner, hot water heater etc work. The ac remote works well but the display on the unit itself does not. Please ask if you have any questions or needs.
