Resort taxi Ripoff - Good Resort
Traveler Review By: Jim from Kansas City
Date of Visit: May 2008
At the resort there is a posted list of Taxi costs to various places (i.e., $28 to Ocho Rios). Only resort authorized taxis are allowed into the "compound". My wife and I decided to go into town 5 miles away, and paid the taxi $35 includeing tip for a round trip; he was to pick us up later. When we told him what time to pick us up, he said it will cost more if we wanted to stay that long in town; this made no sense and enraged my wife, who told him to go to hell; he backed off. In town, a waiter we were talking with gave us a lesson on the taxi service. Turns out it costs locals $1.00 each for a ride just about anywhere in the Parish. So after drinks, we hailed a local cab, ditched the original cab, and got a ride back to our hotel for $3.00 (tip included). Wife complained to the hotel. From then on, we walked out to the road beyond the compound and hailed our own cab for $1 ea to go anywhere.
