Getting around: Guests can walk to neighboring restaurants and the evening-only Alhambra Bazaar for tourist stalls, but apart from hotel facilities, this district offers little choice in the way of shopping so visitors head to the downtown stores. Buses run from near the hotel into downtown for fares of less than $5 USD; taxis are $5–$15 USD. Bicycles can be rented for $16–$25 USD a day and mopeds for more than $36 USD a day. Fees subject to change without notice. Because main roads are well-maintained and well-posted, driving (right-hand side) is a popular option.
