Taxi from Coxen Hole to West Bay Beach?

[nbsjcruiser]

Thinking about grabbing a cab to West Bay when we're in Coxen Hole on February 6. Anyone do this before? Does it seem safe? What are the amenities in West Bay Beach like? Chairs/umbrellas how much are they? How far away from port?

Taxi on the island are not regulated which means if haggling is one of your skills and in Spanish, by all means, grab a cab at the port. If you go this route set a price for round-trip and pay when you return. 

 

A far more reliable way is to pay for a day pass at one of the resorts which includes transportation. Amenities will vary with the resort you choose. The websites have pics for reference. Infinty Bay, Mayan Princess, and Paradise Beach Club are popular if you want a pool as well. Beachers has very good food and I think still offers day passes but no pool. 

 

On a good day in normal traffic with no road construction, the time is about 20 mins, with variables, who knows?
