Just make sure you still agree on a price before heading back. We were "strong armed" on our first trip and they would not let us out until we paid $20 for our ride back (same guys who took us for "free"). And yes, it was a very popular restaurant on here that offers "free" rides to dinner.
You should have complained to restaurant. Should cost you about US$5 for two people traveling along beach, or US$10 from cliffs to beach (or vice versa). I always quote those prices to taxi drivers before we get in and never a problem.
We did complain to the restaurant, they apologized and we had left before they could do anything about it. That is why I will not mention their name. But we always know the price before we get in the cab!
We had free pick-ups from LTU, Kuyaba and Ivans besides the others mentioned. Our driver for Ivan's explained that the drivers have contracts with the restaurant to provide free pick-up in exchange for getting the fare returning the guests to their hotels. The funny part was I asked the bartender what to expect for a fare and he said $1200J, the driver asked for $1500 even though we shared the ride with another couple he had picked up but after I reminded him that I tipped him $500J when he brought us to Ivans he was OK with $1200 LOL.
