TL;DR

The transfer usually takes 2.5-3 hours depending on the tour operator and hotel drop-off order; hotels like Rixos are often last on the route, though some operators (e.g. Fun Sun) offer a more direct route for small groups.

What the community said

There's a risk of long waits on the bus leaving the airport — other tourists may be late, smoke, or exchange money while the whole bus waits for them.

With a Pegas transfer, guests heading to hotels like Rixos are typically dropped off last, after other hotels across the road from the sea are served first (and picked up first on the way back). Fun Sun offers more individual transfers: if 3 families are going to the same hotel, they're taken there directly without stops.

Rixos / Pegas / Fun Sun

The transfer from the airport took 2.5 hours instead of the stated 3 — most of the road is in good condition. Travel was by minibus with 3 families, each dropped at their own hotel; the return trip felt quick thanks to conversation.
