Tips for a smooth arrival
Book in advance and share your flight number. Tell us your exact hotel name, because some resort areas are spread out. Mention extra luggage such as diving or kitesurfing equipment, golf bags or strollers so we send the right vehicle. For your departure, reach the airport around 3 hours before an international flight.
