The driver was kind enough to get me in the lobby of the hotel as it was searing hot outside and I sat inside in with the AC, not knowing which vehicle (shuttle) to look for.

Overall a comfortable ride. Blanket, snacks and drinks provided. I would suggest having your own pillow and eye mask for extra comfort. Staff do not speak English.
