Impressions from two brief layover visits, limited experience:
I took the official taxi from the airport to my posada. The posada called a taxi when I wanted to leave to go somewhere, and to return to the airport as well. Even official airport taxi fares were only about U$13-15 (to 2 neighborhoods, exchange rate was only 18 at the time) and the one to retrace the route back to the airport even cheaper. I felt safe (solo female).
I did not try Uber, nor did I have time to need more rides.
