How to get there
Only in the high season (November until Easter) you need to reserve a rental car. Otherwise there are city buses (L10/L10A) going from downtown to the hotel area and minibuses to any destination. Pack tight as city buses are touchy about stepping aboard carrying luggage. Of course you can rent Scooters, Harleys, Squats/4wheeler, horses, bikes as well. Take the main island highway from the hotel area all the way towards the lighthouse look to your left at the end of the highrise hotel area. Accessible car or taxi, or a 10-minute walk from the last bus stop on Malmok.
