"There's a direct road from the airport to the city center. They offer a shuttle service, but it's not free; it costs 100 pesos one way. I tried to book a shuttle (they showed me a QR code and told me to book through it), but the service hours were 5:00 AM to 6:00 PM. My flight was scheduled to arrive at 5:55 PM, and I expected a shuttle to be waiting, but there wasn't one. When I called, they just repeated the service hours. It would have been helpful if they had mentioned that when I made the booking.
In the end, I walked. It's about 1.5 km, which is manageable with a backpack after sunset. It's too hot to walk during the day.
There are plenty of restaurants nearby, and a supermarket is within walking distance. Being on the main road, it's also easy to catch a multicab.
The room was mostly satisfactory, though there's no refrigerator. The shower pressure isn't great, but it's functional. However, the showerhead is mounted quite high, which might be a bit challenging for shorter people."
