private airport transfers: comfortable and dedicated transfer from airport to your resort accommodation with no scheduled stops in between.
shared airport transfers: transfer car or van is shared with other people, either going to same resort but different accommodation or going to different resorts on route, potentially leading to multiple drop offs.
taxi transfers: Also called airport taxi transfers. Taxi transfers are typically transfers to your resort by a taxi with a meter. Charges might vary depending on travel time and accommodation location.
airport limousine transfers: This could be a van or car transfer. Limousine normally indicates the use of high quality and luxurious cars.
public transport transfer: Transfer by public bus or train. Only normally available for limited resorts and set times of the day. Probably the most inflexible transfer option.
