How much does it cost to take a cab from the airport to the Grand Velas resort? |
Travel Info This is my 1st time going to Mexico. Do the cabs take pesos only or do they take US $. Also, are there shuttle that take to the resort. Best answer gets 10pts. Travel Tips First off- I'm assuming you are asking about the Grand Velas in Nuevo Vallarta. It is about 15 minutes from the airport. If you catch a taxi within the airport, you will pay more because of the high airport tax. It could be as high as 225 pesos, but will definitely be less if, when you exit the airport, you go out the door toward the highway (easy to find), and cross the elevated walkway to the other side (North side) of the highway. There- the fares are somewhat negotiable, and you will avoid the tax. As to the money- they love to take the dollars but you will lose in the exchange. Better to use the ATM in the airport and pay in pesos. As to the shuttle, I believe the hotel website has a listing (and email) for a concierge. Ask them if they have a free shuttle- very possible. Last hint about the taxi- always ask the price BEFORE they put the luggage in the trunk- some of them try to add to the price for each piece of luggage. Enjoy, and don't forget to take the bus into town (the window will say Centro) to see some great sights. Others Rexcat is right, nothing to add. Deserves the 10 pts. |
