To help with your travel arrangements, please see below for our airport and lodging recommendations. A word of advice: Do allow extra time when driving along Scenic Gulf Drive and the surrounding streets. When we visited in May, we were surprised that a short 1-mile drive averaged 10 minutes or more.
