Hi everyone, we're travelling to Riviera Maya in February, we booked our hotel and flights separately so looking at private airport transfers to the hotel. The hotel do offer them for an additional charge, I was just wondering if anyone has used and could recommend any other transportation companies before I book with the hotel.

Rent a car! We really enjoyed having the freedom of a car and felt totally safe driving there.

Alishea Morrison that’s also an option

Alishea Morrison keep in mind that if you rent a car and are in an accident (whether you were in the wrong or not!) one of you will not be able to leave Mexico until all claims are settled.

Was it cheaper to book flights and hotel separately?

Tracy yeah it did work out cheaper. We’re staying at Barcelo Maya Beach so signed you for a free account with them. We got a really good room rate, free wifi and discounts to use at the resort. The bonus at the time we booked was we didn’t have to pay right away. Plus for the flights we had companion vouchers and westjet dollars to use so for us it was a win win

I use CARM - they are fantastic and reasonable and offer private cars . They have a site and you can email them directly from there

We used USA Transfers and had great experiences, really friendly drivers who were happy to engage us in conversation and answer all of our questions.(all very fluent in English which was nice!), . Easy to book online, I highly recommend them

Canada Transfers is really good, we have used them a few times, you can check out their prices online depending on which hotel you are staying at.

Anne yes, they are great. Super happy with them.

Anne +1

They don't do a shared shuttle at all do they?

we use the ADO bus. its not private, but really inexpensive, reliable and comfortable. buy the tickets online before you head out!

Best day transfers are amazing! It’s the company westjet vacations uses and they are super friendly.

Charlene we used Best Day in November and they were friendly and very good!

We book straight thru the cancun airport website. Great service - used 3 times now

Entertainment plus USA transfers. Owner is Edmontonian

Be careful. Ask how hotels they drop at. We were in a van and only 1 other family with us. Took 2 hours to get to our resort from the hotel. So some busses etc that take people for many resorts...can take longer.

Just use a cab. Keeps it simple.

Cyrena Corbett how much should a can be from the air port to Cancún?

Cab works great

Taxi ... just ask price before you get in.

Canada Transfers. Private van directly to your hotel, no stops. And you can preorder cervaza for the ride.

Reid thank you, this one might just trump the others because you can pre-order a beer

we have also used these guys and they were great

Reid we have used them at least 10 times. I totally agree with you.

I have always used the public transport coaches directly from airport ... cheap & reliable. Buy my ticket at airport desk and get on!

Tim Tse

I would just hop in a cab.

Booked on expedia with Supershuttle!

Canadatransfers - I use them regularly and you can pre-purchase $1 coronas!!

Agreed

Agreed. I used to live there and used this service many times. Also recommended to my airbnb guests.

Nicola we just returned from there and it felt safer going w the hotel. The local cabbies can charge you whatever and who knows where you end up !

We used canadatransfers. Two

Canada Transfers is amazing , you can prepay online or cash at airport. They will wait for you with a sign and cold towels.
You can also order a cooler of snacks and drinks, it’s a bit of a ride!
I don’t use the free buses anymore!

Canada Transfers or Happy Shuttle is what we used
Never any issues

We used CanadaTransfers in December. It was about $180 for both ways. Private shuttle. They also had beers and sunscreen ready for us in the van!

MeetPlaya Transfers are awesome. Very new and clean vehicles. Drivers are great. If you want beers they can supply them or they will make a stop at a nearby 7-11 where you can buy what you want. They were waiting for us at the airport with a sign and then when they picked us up from the hotel they were punctual. Would definitely use them again.

Cab or Uber.

Jenifer you can't take an uber from the Cancun airport. uber is very limited in Cancun.

What hotel are you staying at? A taxi will run you approx 120usd one way. To the airport is around $50usd. Many of the hotel transfer companies are much cheaper

Tracy weird last time i went 3 month ago in nov.

Happy Shuttle is fantastic and their prices are great! You can pre-order drinks and snacks for your trips with them. I have used them several times and I'm impressed.

Canada Transfers are the best!!! Pre order Coronas $1 a beer.

Donna yep!! We always use them. Good company.

Donna I used them too. I like how you can preorder how many beers, water, ect you want on the trip.

Canada transfers or USA transfers both were great.

How much is hotel and flights?

I have used Paradise Transfers many times they are great! About $120

Thanks so much everyone for all your recommendations, it’s greatly appreciated

Hello Nicola, just wanted to know how did you book the hotel ? Did you get good offer ?

Hi Anand we’re staying at Barcelo Maya Beach and I booked using the number on the Barcelo website, but first I registered for an account so you get more savings. Was a really good offer compared to what I was finding online. I booked in October 2019 for February 2020, they also offer a price guarantee so if you find it cheaper after you book they will price match it. Only thing to factor in your calculation is that the hotel charge in USD. But it still worked out cheaper for us doing it this way

Canada transfers were great
