Isla Stories · Getting around

Golf cart, taxi—or both?

The best choice depends on the day you want, not on what every visitor is told to rent.

Casa Mirador’s La Gloria location makes both options useful. Taxis keep short trips easy; a golf cart turns Punta Sur, neighborhood stops and the island loop into your own flexible day.

Choose a taxi when…

You are going directly to Centro, Playa Norte, dinner, the ferry or one planned stop; nobody wants to drive; weather is unsettled; or you want to avoid parking and rental responsibility. Confirm the fare before leaving when possible.

Choose a golf cart when…

You want Punta Sur, the Caribbean road, Mirador Mar Turquesa, mid-island food, murals, colored stairs and spontaneous photo stops in one day. Before paying, confirm the rental period, driver requirements, fuel policy, insurance or damage terms, pickup and return instructions, and what support is available if the cart has a problem.

A balanced plan

Many guests do not need a cart every day. A practical stay may use a taxi on arrival, one cart day for the full island, and taxis again for evenings. That keeps flexibility without paying for a parked cart.

Safety matters. Use a licensed rental operator, follow local traffic rules, keep every passenger seated and belted where belts are provided, and never drive after drinking.
