TL;DR
The scheduled ride is about 2 hours, but in practice the shuttle can take up to 3 hours due to stops at shops/restaurants along the way, and it doesn't run on a fixed frequent schedule — more like every few hours.
The group shuttle transfer usually takes about 3 hours give or take 30 minutes; the exact time depends on how many other hotel stops the shuttle makes along the route. Even with about an hour's wait for luggage, 3 hours is typically enough.
One traveler's ride took 3 hours instead of the scheduled 2 — the driver made an unplanned stop at a roadside eatery, causing passengers to miss dinner at their hotel. Drivers likely get a commission for these detour stops.
Based on past reviews, the shuttle doesn't run frequently — roughly once every few hours — so it's worth checking the schedule in advance rather than expecting to just show up.
Travel/processing time varies a lot: some needed 3 hours to complete everything, while others got through in just 1 hour — it largely depends on how busy it is and luck.
