Where we drop you in Puerto Morelos

The town, the pier and the reef

Puerto Morelos still has its main square a few steps from the sea, with the pier and the leaning lighthouse that was left tilted by a hurricane and ended up as the symbol of the town. Offshore runs the barrier protected as the Puerto Morelos Reef National Park, and that is where the place makes its living: snorkelling, diving and fishing boats working most of the year.

It is slow-paced next to Cancun or Playa del Carmen: you walk, you eat fish by the pier and you go to bed early. It draws couples who want a beach without noise, families with small children, and divers who come for the reef. It is also the base for people on a short trip who do not want to spend half a day driving down and half a day driving back.

Two Puerto Morelos, not one

The name covers two separate areas. The seaward one is the old town, with the square, the pier and the small beach hotels. The other sits by Federal Highway 307, where the Joaquín Zetina Gasca neighbourhood and the big resorts of that stretch are. A straight road joins them, but it is not a distance you cover on foot with the luggage from a long flight.

So when booking it helps to be clear which is yours: a place on the highway stretch and a place by the pier are not the same spot even though they share a town name. It makes no difference at all to the price, because both sides fall within the same zone: $49.99 USD one way for 1 to 8 passengers and $99.98 USD round trip, whichever of the two we take you to.

The quickest destination from the terminal

Half an hour of road changes how you plan the whole trip. With a flight that lands late, Puerto Morelos is one of the few coastal destinations you reach without losing the entire night to the highway, and with an early departure the pick-up does not force you out of bed in the middle of the night the way Akumal or Tulum would, where an hour or more of driving has to be counted before check-in.

It also makes it practical for short stays and for anyone with a long layover or a single night before moving on. Being close changes nothing else: the meet and greet is still inside the terminal with a sign bearing your name, waiting time is still free if the flight is delayed, and the price is still fixed before you book, tolls and taxes included.

Frequently asked questions

What is worth knowing before you book

How much is the transfer from Cancun to Puerto Morelos?

$49.99 USD one way for up to 8 passengers and $99.98 USD round trip. It is the price of the whole vehicle, not per person or per bag, and tolls and taxes are already in it. The same rate covers the pier town and the Federal Highway 307 side, so it does not change with which side you are staying on.

What is there in Puerto Morelos?

The reef, part of the second-largest reef system in the world, a few minutes offshore by boat. It is what makes the town live off diving and snorkelling. The centre sits around the pier, with the beach area on one side and the neighbourhood and the large resorts out towards the highway, all within the same rate.

Do you also serve the highway hotels?

Yes. The resorts along the Federal Highway 307 stretch fall in the same price zone as the town centre, and the driver clears the entrance gate with the booking in your name to drop you with your luggage at the lobby door. Give us the exact hotel name when booking and we locate it before the day of travel.

What is included in the price of the Puerto Morelos transfer?

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 at no per-bag charge and child seats. If the flight lands late the waiting is not charged and we move the pick-up.

How is the transfer paid?

By card or with PayPal when you book, or in cash on the day of travel, in pesos or in dollars. None of the three carries a surcharge and the published price is the same for all of them. If you choose cash, say so when booking so the driver brings change: half an hour on the road leaves little room to find it.

Is my hotel in the town or on the highway?

Puerto Morelos has two separate parts: the town by the pier and the area beside Federal Highway 307, with the neighbourhood and the large resorts. Both fall under the same $49.99 USD one-way fare. Give us the exact name and we place it when you book.

Does it work if my flight lands very late?

Yes, and it is one of the destinations where a night arrival matters least: half an hour from the terminal. We operate at any hour, we track the flight number and waiting time is free if the plane is delayed, so neither price nor booking changes with the hour.

What time is the pick-up for a morning flight?

Since it is only half an hour of driving, the pick-up is considerably later than from Tulum or Akumal. We work it backwards from your departure time, counting check-in at the terminal, and confirm it the day before along with the pick-up point.

Can I get an Uber from the airport?

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 in Puerto Morelos there is no service at all: local transport is the town taxis.

Where is the official taxi rank at the airport?

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.

Where exactly do you drop us?

Puerto Morelos is the centre and the pier, the beach area, the Joaquín Zetina Gasca neighbourhood on the other side of the highway, and the resorts out on the 307. It is half an hour from the airport: the closest destination in the Riviera Maya. Give us the address or the name of your accommodation when you book and the driver takes you to the door.

What actually happens from the moment the aircraft doors open.

You book and the confirmation arrives

2
Uniformed and identified Smile & Go staff

We wait for you inside the terminal

A uniformed representative waits as you clear customs, holding a sign with your name. Nobody to look for, no stepping outside to haggle.

3
Direct arrival at the hotel entrance

Straight to your hotel door

No stops, nobody else to collect, no detours. You arrive at your hotel entrance, not at a nearby point.

The difference

The three questions we are always asked

Why private instead of a shared shuttle?

A shared shuttle makes several stops before yours: 45 to 90 extra minutes after a long flight. Here the vehicle leaves with you and does not stop until your hotel.

Are you allowed inside the airport?

Yes. We hold an official permit to operate inside CUN and TQO, which is why we can meet you inside the terminal with your name on a sign instead of arranging to meet outside.

What if my flight is delayed?

We track the flight number you give us and move the pick-up ourselves. The waiting is not charged: the delay is not your fault.

We had such a wonderful experience with Smile & Go Taxi in Cancun! From the moment we booked, communication was clear and professional.

Very satisfied with the service! The driver was punctual, helped with the luggage, and the ride was comfortable and safe. The return trip to the airport was also perfectly on time. The car was clean and had good air conditioning.

Smile & Go Taxi Transportation exceeded our expectations from start to finish! When my family and I arrived in Cancun, they were ready and waiting for us. We booked round-trip service, and they got us to our destination safely and comfortably, then picked us up right on time for our return.

Tiffany Fulcher Published on Google

Great, was easy to get a hold of and they were in contact with me from the moment we landed until the moment we were dropped back off to the airport to go back home. The drivers are very nice. Transportation clean and spacious. Highly recommended!
