Private Transfers After Hours: Booking X’Tan Ha’s US$50 One-Way Ride

Touching down in San Pedro after the last shuttle? Need a pre-dawn pickup for an early flight? Private Transfers After Hours make arrivals and departures seamless at X’Tan Ha – The Waterfront Resort. This guide explains exactly when the US$50 one-way ride makes sense, how to book it, what to expect on arrival, and practical tips so your journey is smooth from runway (or dock) to your villa.

What is the after-hours private transfer?

X’Tan Ha operates a scheduled hourly shuttle between San Pedro (airport or town) and the resort that’s complimentary for all guests. When your travel plans fall outside that regular timetable, you can request a private transfer for US$50 per one-way trip.

Key details at a glance:

• Price: US$50 per one-way ride (outside the regular shuttle schedule)
• Pickup points: San Pedro Air Strip or the town’s ferry dock
• Drop-off: X’Tan Ha – The Waterfront Resort (7.2 miles north of San Pedro Town)
• Typical drive time: About 15 minutes from the San Pedro airport
• Who it’s for: Any guest whose arrival/departure doesn’t align with the complimentary hourly shuttle

When should you book a private transfer?

You may not need it if your itinerary fits the complimentary hourly shuttle. Consider booking the US$50 one-way ride when:

Late-night arrivals and very early departures

• Your flight or boat gets in after the last scheduled shuttle or before the first morning departure.
• You prefer a direct pickup with no waiting time.

Off-schedule plans in town

• You have dinner or event plans in San Pedro that end after the regular shuttle hours.
• You’re returning from a tour that drops you at the ferry dock outside the normal timetable.

Convenience with kids, gear, or groups

• You’re traveling with young children, lots of luggage, or specialty equipment and want a direct, no-wait ride.

How to book X’Tan Ha’s US$50 one-way ride

Booking is simple and works best when you share your travel details early.

1. Confirm your stay

   • Once your reservation is confirmed, you’ll receive the hourly shuttle timetable. If your arrival/departure doesn’t fit, request the private transfer.

2. Contact the resort in advance for late arrivals

   • If you expect to arrive after 7:30 PM, notify the resort ahead of time so the team can arrange late check-in and schedule your off-schedule transfer.

3. Share key details

   • Provide your arrival method (regional flight or water taxi), carrier, confirmation number, and scheduled arrival time at the San Pedro Air Strip or the town ferry dock.

4. Confirm pricing and pickup point

   • The private ride is US$50 per one-way trip. You’ll be picked up at the airstrip or ferry dock and driven directly to X’Tan Ha.

5. Payment methods

   • The resort accepts American Express, Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and cash.

Pro tip: Build a small buffer into your pickup time to account for routine airport or dock delays.

What to expect on arrival

• Personal greeting: A resort representative will meet you at the San Pedro Air Strip or town ferry dock and coordinate your transfer to X’Tan Ha.
• Short, direct ride: The drive takes about 15 minutes to the resort’s gate.
• After-hours entry: The front gate closes at 9:30 PM for guest privacy. If you arrive late, on-site security will open the gate and assist with entry.
• Front desk hours: The front desk operates from 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM. If you’re arriving outside those hours, arranging your private transfer and late check-in in advance ensures a quick, frictionless arrival.

Scheduled shuttle vs private transfer: which is right for you?

• Complimentary hourly shuttle (all guests): Ideal if your flight or ferry aligns with the regular timetable. It runs between San Pedro (airport or town) and the resort.
• US$50 one-way private transfer (off-schedule): Best when you need a pickup or drop-off outside the regular schedule—late night, early morning, or any times the hourly shuttle doesn’t cover.

Bonus for direct bookers:

• Book directly with X’Tan Ha to receive the best available price for your stay, plus complimentary round-trip resort transfers and daily breakfast.
