Going to Cancun. What’s the best way to get from the airport to the hotel zone? Staying at ritz carlton so would it be worth it to use their car service?

The service through the hotels (I’ve not used Ritz specifically) is very nice but really a rip off. Look on trip advisor for transfer companies unless you really value a luxury experience.

I used USA transfers in January and they were great. And I was an annoying customer with lots of changes and they were super accommodating.

When you walk out of the terminal in Cancun, there will be 20 ppl outdoors trying to get you to use their taxi service. Each company’s employees wear a different color shirt. I usually walk through all the taxi drivers holding signs with the names of scheduled passengers to get past the crowds.

Then talk to the first and second company who tries to pitch their taxi service to you. They’ll first ask where you’re going/what hotel. Ask two questions of the taxi company:

1. What is the cost? (They’ll give you a total trip cost rather than per mile. ~60 USD total is fair for transportation for 1 or 2 ppl from the airport to the hotel zone. They’ll also often offer you a 15% discount if you call the same company for your return trip from the hotel to the airport. If they try to charge you more than ~60 USD, negotiate downward or move on to the next taxi company.)

2. Ask if they have a taxi available right away or if you will have to wait for a taxi? (If the latter, move on to the next taxi company.)

Carry cash for the taxi and tip. Have fun!

Have used both USA and Canada transfers in the past with no issues. Highly recommend. At one point when CAD was close to USD, there was even an arbitrage opportunity to pay in CAD rather than USD. Guessing that has changed but service was great get the private option so you aren’t stopping at other resorts.

I used Uber.

If you are planning to explore, consider renting a car. It’s incredibly cheap and most hotels have free parking

Pretty sure I have used cancunairport dot com in the past and they have been reliable and cheap.
