Which stop is the Radisson when taking bus transfer

Does anyone know which stop the Radisson is taking the DePalm transfers from the airport.

We are not sure if we want to just plan to take a taxi to the hotel, or just wait for the bus.

Thanks!!

At the airport you are told which bus to get on.

Taxi will cost abot $20 US.

We are staying at the Tamarijn which is much closer to the airport than the Radisson.

On Wednesday we took a taxi to the resort and were already checked in and off to our room when the De Palm bus pulled up. Then the passengers had to wait for their luggage to be unloaded from the bus.

So would you say to take a taxi even though our bus transfer is included? $20 bucks not that big of a deal if it means not waiting forever for the bus!

It's worth spending the extra $ to take a taxi. With the bus you have to wait until everyone gets their luggage from baggage claim, then the bus driver to load the bags on the bus. Then having to stop at the other hotels before getting to your resort.
