Private transfer from Cancun Airport to Akumal

$109.99 USD one way for up to 8 passengers and $219.98 USD round trip, with the whole vehicle for your group. There is no charge per person or per bag, and tolls and taxes are already in the price. It is closed before you book, so it does not change if traffic on Highway 307 stretches the run or your flight lands later than planned.

Around one hour forty minutes on Federal Highway 307, past Puerto Morelos and Playa del Carmen, and depending on traffic. To that you add the last stretch along the internal bay roads, short but slow, which shared transport does not drive: we go all the way to the door. Landing at rush hour adds time to the run, but not to the price, which is fixed beforehand.

Yes, by card, with PayPal, or in cash in pesos or dollars, with no surcharge for the payment method. Card and PayPal are paid at booking, so you arrive with it settled; cash is paid on the day, and it helps to tell us at booking so the driver brings change. The published price is the same in all three cases.

A private air-conditioned vehicle for your group alone, a bilingual driver, flight tracking and a meet and greet inside the terminal with a sign bearing your name. It covers tolls, taxes, luggage with no per-bag charge and child seats. If your plane is delayed, we wait and the waiting is not charged.

The $109.99 USD price covers 1 to 8 passengers in the same vehicle, so most families and small groups travel together without paying more. If there are more than eight of you, or you bring diving or snorkelling gear on top of the luggage, say so when booking and we adjust the vehicle before closing the price.

Yes. Many places to stay in Akumal are condominiums with kitchens, and that stop is usually made in Playa del Carmen, which is on the way. Mention it when you book so the driver allows for the time within the run instead of improvising it.

Yes. Those areas are reached by internal roads off Highway 307 that are not always signposted, and shared transport leaves you at the junction. We drive all the way to the door of the hotel, condominium or villa at no extra charge.

The simplest thing is to book it from the start, because Akumal has no taxi ranks on every corner and early in the morning a vehicle can be hard to find. The round trip is $219.98 USD, and the hour is worked out from your departing flight and confirmed the day before.

No. Uber cannot pick up inside Cancun Airport: the airport's ground transport concession belongs to the authorised taxis, and taking an Uber would mean walking out of the grounds to the highway, which makes no sense with luggage. And beyond Cancun and Playa del Carmen the service is patchy where it exists at all, so counting on it for a transfer with luggage and a time to keep is a gamble.

As you come out of arrivals you will find the Caribbean Taxi desks, the company that holds the airport concession: you follow the yellow signs and pay the zone fare there. It is a legitimate option, but it means queuing with your bags at the end of a flight and not knowing the amount until that moment. What is not worth doing is taking up an offer from anyone approaching you at the exit with no uniform and no desk. Booking ahead skips the queue: the price is fixed and the driver waits with a sign in your name.

Akumal is not a town with a main street: it is the bay, Akumal Norte and Half Moon Bay, Aventuras Akumal, and the villas and condos scattered between the beach and the 307. All of them are reached down inner roads off the highway that shared transport does not drive; we go all the way to the door. Give us the address or the name of your accommodation when you book and the driver takes you to the door.
