Check the actual airport transfer distance, route, transportation type, and arrival timing before choosing a resort.
Review the real transfer time from the airport to the resort, including traffic, shared stops, ferry schedules, mountain roads, and late-arrival limitations.
A shared shuttle that stops at four other properties before yours can turn a "forty-five minute transfer" into a two-hour tour of resorts you are not staying at, and some destinations only run ferries or mountain roads on a schedule that has nothing to do with when your flight lands. Ask directly: is the transfer private or shared, is it on a fixed schedule, and what happens if the flight arrives after the last one leaves.
A resort can be perfect and still be three hours away from the airport. Geography remains stubbornly unimpressed by marketing adjectives.
