Most arriving passengers transfer directly to all-inclusive resorts via private or resort-organised shuttles ($15–$30). The route from US East Coast and Midwest is heavy year-round; January–April are peak demand. The airport's open-air thatched-roof terminals are an architectural curiosity worth noting on first arrival.
