TL;DR
You can book a taxi through your hotel reception or flag one down on the main road, but be ready to haggle over price; many travelers prefer the ABC Taxi or Uber apps instead, though expect a markup over standard rates.
If the price quoted by street taxis feels too high, haggle — drivers usually come down.
As an alternative to street taxis, use the ABC Taxi or Uber apps, but add a markup to the usual price when estimating cost.
You can walk out to the main road and flag down passing cars yourself — just wave and ask the driver if they're heading your way.
Hotel reception can arrange a car for you, but getting the same ride back isn't guaranteed — it can be hit or miss.
