I had talked to the hotel by phone and text about 3 times to verify if they would have a shuttle to pick me up at the airport at 2am. They stated that the shuttle would be there and asked for the flight number. I asked them how would I know who there driver was and they stated he would be holding a hotel sign. US Embassy had stated that Guyana was rated 3 out of 5 for danger so I wanted to make sure I had a shuttle and wouldn't be robbed and killed. They stated it would be $70 USD for the shuttle which I agreed to. I arrived and walked out of the airport and there was no hotel shuttle there to pick me up. I called the hotel and they stated that they didn't send anyone to pick me up. Great!! No what am i to do? The hotel staff stated to get a yellow cab (airport cab) but there were no yellow cabs to be seen anywhere. A private taxi operator said he could take me to the hotel and the hotel staff told me if I was ok taking a private cab. Well, I don't really have a choice if I want to get to the hotel. I took the ride and he charged me $50 USD to take me to the hotel. So does the hotel care about their foreign visitors? I don't think so since they couldn't even let me know that they wouldn't be able to supply a hotel shuttle and to make other arrangements. My in-laws stated that they were disappointed to hear that I took a private cab since that is very dangerous and that they could have picked me up. The curry at lunch on Thursday was really good.
