You will almost certainly have to slow down or stop for farming activity, people, children, and animals that block the road day and night.

Several signs along the way will lead you to the airport. As you approach, you will see a long gardened wall with a guard gate on the right-hand side of the road marking the entrance to the resort. Please turn in. Welcome!
