Zero-brain vs precision

Daytime default: Your hotel's transfer or a licensed taxi from the rank, straight to the door.
Precision: One international terminal; the taxi rank and hotel-transfer counters are outside arrivals (field-verify). Many flights land in the evening or at night.
Late-night threshold: 22:00

Immigration queues can pass an hour when several flights land together.
Book island boats for the morning after your arrival night only if you have a buffer; late flights rarely connect.
