is the resort hoppa a coach or mini bus that does multi drops or is it a vehicle that you have sole use off?

I've used it 5 times - each time it's been a mini bus and there have been at least 1 or 2 drop-offs on the way. You can have a sole use vehicle but I have never used that. Check on the web site resorthoppa.com

We have used the same taxi (Mercedes Estate) for 10+ years for €50 each way and it works like clockwork.

Car is always immaculate - he is always punctual and being a Benfica fan keeps the conversation flowing all the way to Cvo. When we are in town - one phone call is all it takes to be collected and delivered - it's a personal service at a sensible price and on an unparalleled level - I think I've died and gone to heaven!

Many friends have their own arrangements with their own preferred driver(s) and wouldn't have it any other way.

If it ain't broke - leave it well alone :)

We normally use Easygo transfers; they have a retail outlet in CVO.
Last Sept we were charged 90 euros return for a private transfer - excellent value for a 45 minute trip with no stop-offs.

Neither of these public transport means is recommended for airport transfer because they are not well connected, neither to the airport nor to the resorts. Multiple stops and transfers make for a very long and uncomfortable trip.
