Walking from the Negril Aerodome to Couples Negril

[Johio]

Yes, I thought $10 was a bit much too, but I was too tired from traveling to negotiate. I don't think I tipped the driver since he was hitting me for $10 to begin with. I figured that for the two of us and all of my wife's shoes, $10 total was doable . I probably should have just waled out to the street and hailed a route taxi for JA$200.

Kathy's right on the distance from Hedo. You'll be fine as long as you cross the street to make sure to walk against the traffic...remember they drive on the left. There's always taxis waiting at the Areodrome so if you decide to to that they're there. Wish I new theirs names cause they always reconize me when I land there so we catch up on the last year & have some laughs. They know I have a buddy picking me up so they don't offer. This years trip (1/28-3/6) has come & gone unfortunetly...but soon return 2014 for my 21st year. Have fun & be safe!!

LOL!! I used to bring about 15 pairs of shoes for 10 days. Over the years I've got that number down to 4 pairs. Yay me! *and yay for the husband*

It's been a while since we have flown into Negril, but when we did....we ended up going out to the street and hailing a route taxi. The guys at the airport were wanting way too much for a short drive. So, we pulled our crap out to Norman Manley...much to the dislike of the drivers. Every likkle ting was irie!

I love to walk...so I really wouldn't mind that short of a walk..BUT, I would take a route taxi.....main reason, trying to cross Norman Manley with luggage! Enjoy your trip!

the Negril airport is directly across the street from the resort. IMHO, the resort will come and pick you up!!!! Otherwise, You could certainly walk across the street. Just sayin.......

Negrilgirl, yes, the resort would probably come and pick you up, but you might have to wait. And with "Jamaica Time" and all....well, you know, I'm always anxious to get to the resort.

One time and ONLY ONE TIME, we arranged for a pick up with the resort (can't remember if it was Sandals or Couples, but was back in the 90's). We Waited and waited.... finally negotiated a deal with a taxi driver. This was before this board and didn't know about Red Plate Route taxis.....

I sent an email to the resort this morning as well to see if they would provide transportation. Something is telling me that they don't but it can't hurt to ask!

Knowing Couples, they'll tell you, "No problem, mon." If they do, I'd have someone from the Couples Lounge at MBJ call them and verify it and ask that they be there waiting for you. I'd also keep all of my other options open and not be surprised if I had to hire a taxi at the aerodome. But that's part of the beuaty of a Jamaica trip...just go with the flow and see where it takes you.
