Quinta Palmares is a bit distant from the city (4 miles) and inside a gated beach community, for this reason, it is not easy to find public transportation or flag a taxi, you have to call them, same with uber.

Even if you have a car, it can be more convenient, comfortable and fun to move in the golf cart within Puerta Cortes.
