In September (for my honeymoon) My fiance and I are flying Delta, out of Boston, changing planes in Atlanta and flying into Liberia Airport. We used www.roadslesstaken.com to book our 7 day trip.

My Fiance and i are going for our Honeymoon in Oct. We booked through AAA so we had them add the bus shuttle service to and from the resort to the airport. I have read lots of reviews and some have said the ride is about 50mins to an hour and a cab is about $60 one way. If you booked through an agency, and you don't mind being in a bus, i would try and add the shuttle to and from the resort. I can't remember how much it was to add the shuttle but i know it wasn't more than $100 both ways for the 2 of us (and was actually probably closer to 60-80 for the 2 of us both ways).

This drive is, as you say, right at one hour. You might be able to hire a taxi for about $40 bucks one way, and there should be plenty of them near the airport. Just a thought. I may be way off on what it would cost you. We paid $35 about a year ago for a taxi transfer of about 1.5 hour. I suppose all depends on the driver and how you are able to bargain with him.

Thank you for the replies! Paradisus quoted me $160 roundtrip for their shuttle - I thought this was high. So is getting a taxi at the airport totally safe - as long as it is a registered taxi with the triangle logo? Safety is my main concern - that is why I had inquired with the resort. I do speak spanish so will be able to negotiate with the taxi drivers - what do you recommend? THANKS AGAIN!!!

I would think $40 one-way is about right for a taxi and I wouldn't worry about safety. I cannot believe that the hotel would charge you $160 for a roundtrip. Was that for 2 people?

Yep, get your own. The taxis are safe and reliable and the roads are very decent to PPC from Liberia. Have fun and good luck!

Thanks again! One more question, does the resort have in-room safes?
