What to tell the taxi driver: "Del Parque Morazán doscientos cincuenta (250) metros al norte, calle siete (7), entre avenida 9 y 11, casa amarilla a mano derecha".

Cab drivers tell you we are full or in a dangerous area to bring you to a more expensive hotel to get commission. Don't listen to them or take another one. Tell them to put on the meter (maría) or you get ripped off!

The taxi fare from the airport to our place is $25 call and book through us to have the cab waiting for you
