Transportation, even if arranged and/or paid by Kismet, (water taxis, rental cars, taxis, ferries, and charter vessels) is supplied by providers who operate independently of Kismet.

Guests must observe all cautions as given in our Guest Guide and/or by the concierge. Kismet’s owners reserve the right to refuse service or rentals to anyone at their complete discretion.
