El Cortecito is a town, not a resort strip
El Cortecito is the original fishing village in the middle of Bávaro: a short pedestrian street of restaurants and souvenir stalls running down to the beach where the fishing boats still land, with Playa El Cortecito on one side and the big all-inclusives on both flanks. It matters for transfers because the accommodation here is different from the strip — guesthouses, aparthotels, rooms above restaurants, condos in Los Corales next door. There is no lobby driveway and no bellman, some streets are one-way or closed to cars at the beach end, and the address you were sent by your host is often a building name rather than a number. The transfer price is the standard Bávaro rate; what changes is the last two hundred metres, which we agree in writing before the driver leaves the airport.
