Airport to The Mafolie Hotel

The Mafolie Hotel perches high on the hillside above Charlotte Amalie, and its terrace view down across the harbor is one of the most photographed on St. Thomas. Reaching it means a short drive from Cyril E. King Airport followed by a genuine climb, a run of switchbacks that rewards a driver who knows every turn. That is the part guests are happiest to hand over, especially after a travel day. GrandArrival meets you at the passenger pickup area, loads the bags, and delivers you to the Mafolie entrance with the harbor already glittering below. The ride is quoted when you book and confirmed in writing with your pickup plan.

The ride

The route from Cyril E. King is quoted and planned when you book, with honest timing and a cushion for cruise day traffic through Charlotte Amalie.

The black GMC Yukon XL Denali comfortably fits four guests with a full set of checked and carry on bags. Larger parties move to the air conditioned executive van so the whole group rides together.

Every ride includes a live flight watch, a meet and greet at the designated passenger pickup area just outside baggage claim with your name on a sign, help with luggage, bottled water in the vehicle, and a direct arrival at The Mafolie. We do not stack strangers into shared vans. Your reservation is private the whole way. For the wider picture of the roads and the island, see our guide to getting around St. Thomas.

The rate

The ride to The Mafolie is quoted when you book, based on the exact address, the party size, and the time of day. You get a straight number before you commit, never a range, and the rate is confirmed in writing along with your pickup plan.

Rates include luggage. Gratuities and any resort fees are separate. Return transfers back to the airport are quoted at the same tier. The full rate table lives with our full airport transfer service, and if your plans reach beyond a single transfer, text or call to plan a ride.
