TL;DR
Taxis wait just outside the resort gate — negotiate down to around $2. Some pharmacies and shops (like Alyonka pharmacy, Mango Market) offer free transfers if you make a purchase.

Several taxis wait just outside the resort barrier — always negotiate the price. Free transfers are available to the pharmacy and Mango Market, but only if you intend to shop there.

The hotel's own taxi service charges $10 for a round trip — much more expensive than street taxis outside the gate, which cost around $2 each way if you negotiate.
