I know we addressed this in the How do I find my shuttle FAQ. But I found this article and thought it was worth posting here.
The ‘Shark Tank’ or ‘Running the Gauntlet’
Since we are on the topic of transportation, this is really key information to know, especially for first-timers. After you clear customs, and before you’re outside to meet your driver at the pickup location, you’re first going to have to walk through the ‘Shark Tank’ or ‘Gauntlet’ as it’s commonly called.
This is an area with taxi stands and counters, specifically time-share counters under the guise of transportation providers, filled with people in uniforms who will shout, stand in your way, and try and get your attention. They will say things like “Sir! I am your shuttle driver! Please come with me!”, but he is not your shuttle driver. He doesn’t even know who you are. He’s just trying to get you to come over and sign up for a timeshare presentation in which he will offer you a free or discounted ride.
The best thing to do when walking through the Shark Tank is just to keep your head forward and NOT engage with anyone who is yelling, snapping their fingers, or trying to get your attention. Keep walking until you see a big red sign on the ceiling that points to the ‘exit to all ground transportation services and taxis’, which is where the ride that you pre-arranged will be waiting for you.
