Cancun Travel tips

Transportation

• We used the USA Transfers for the airport transfer from Cancun airport to the hotel area. It cost us 52$ for the round trip. It is a private transfer. http://entertainment-plus.net/tour_transport.cfm 
• Local Buses are very convenient to go around the town of Cancun. Cost around 65 US cents per ride irrespective of the distance within Cancun
• The ADO buses are very convenient if you are traveling outside of Cancun.
