Okay, I decided to take your advice and get the hilltop villa. I noticed the daily room rates fluctuating by about 150 euros recently and saw it drop again today. I cancelled a previous reservation and rebooked at the lower rate, so I figured I managed to save money.

How is the drive from the airport to the Four Seasons? We've driven on the left before and realize it's not too bad of an adjustment (biggest challenge was accidentally turning on the windshield wiper instead the turn-signal). However, I'm wondering how alert I need to be given road/traffic conditions and coming off an overnight flight from Europe?
Also, any recommendations for rental car companies? Should I pick up at the airport?
