This page covers various ways to get from the CUN airport to the retreat. The most common (and highly-recommended) way is to rideshare with us. Whether riding with us or not, please complete the travel form once you’ve registered and have booked your travel to Mexico. Thanks!

Group rate rides

Once you clear customs at CUN, the scene is quite a zoo! But no need to be intimidated; it’s part of the adventure! To lessen your potential overwhelm, we are arranging rides for all who want them.

  • We’ll connect you with your driver and he will meet you at the curb.
  • Our discounted rate is 650 pesos or $35 per car, paid directly to the driver upon arrival in Puerto Morelos. This price is definitely the best rate for a private car and 1/2 the price of getting into a taxi at the airport without an advance reservation!
  • To use our service, you must complete the travel form well in advance of your arrival date.

We are also arranging rideshares to the airport at the end of your trip.

Arranging your own ride

By taxi or private car

  • The best rate we’ve found online is to pre-arrange a ride using the CLICK HERE FOR DISCOUNTED RATES link on the Cancun International Airport website.
  • Avoid hailing a taxi at the airport. Some people have been charged as much as triple ($90 yikes!). In fact, in an attempt to lessen the badgering, the airport has made it “illegal” to hail a cab at the curb. They (and we) highly recommend pre-arranging your ride.
  • Never use a credit card with a taxi driver at the airport! They’ll say it didn’t work and send you to someone else, but in reality they just stole your card info or successfully charged a bunch to your card.

By bus/taxi combination

There no longer is a bus that goes from the airport directly to PM! Getting to PM by bus is still possible, but it takes a minimum of two hours by either:

  • Taking an ADO bus north from the airport through traffic to downtown Cancun, walking across the street, getting on a Playa Express bus to Playa del Carmen (driving right back through the same traffic jam past the airport), getting off at Puerto Morelos, then taking a taxi or the collectivo from the highway to your accommodations.
  • Taking an ADO bus south from the airport (driving right past Puerto Morelos) to downtown Playa del Carmen, getting on a Playa Express bus to Cancun, getting off at Puerto Morelos, then taking a taxi or the collectivo from the highway to your accommodations.

There is a taxi/collectivo stand on the east side of the highway (around the corner from where the northbound buses stop).

By rental car

The Cancun airport is modern, on par with typical US domestic airports, complete with an in-airport rental car center. Check with your own car insurance company to see if your policy covers you while in Mexico.

By train

The Tren Maya is fully operational, but only runs from Cancun south twice a day. There’s a free shuttle from the airport to the train station and it costs 130 pesos to take the train to PM. Then it’s another 250 pesos for a taxi from the train station to the beach village.

If you are trying to do it really on the cheap, you possibly can walk from the Puerto Morelos train station out to the road and wait for the collectivo (but we know how that can go…). Unless you are gonna use the collectivo, it’s cheaper (and a heck of a lot faster) to take our prearranged taxi door to door.
