Taxi fares from the airport start at $ 25.00 US. As in most countries, it's a good idea to agree on the price before you get in, to avoid disputes later. The ride from the airport will take about 20-25 minutes. The main street of West End runs along the beach and past the shops and restaurants. The Mariposa Lodge is about 300 feet up a quiet side street that runs up the hill in the center of town.
