How to Get to.......
Playa del Carmen, Cozumel, Cancun , Isla Holbox
Playa del Carmen from Cancun Hotel Zone Playa del Carmen from Cancun Airport
From the Cancun hotel zone, take either a taxi or Rt 1 bus, to the downtown Cancun bus station, # F1 on your Can-Do Cancun map.
A taxi to the bus station , depending on where your hotel is will cost between 75 & 120 pesos, the bus is 6.5 pesos. The bus will be cheaper, but the taxi will be faster.
At the bus station buy a ticket on the Riviera bus line, (picture at right) these are big modern touring buses, with luggage compartments if you have luggage with you. The bus will cost 30 pesos and will get you to the Playa del Carmen bus station in about 45 minutes.
These buses run about every 15 minutes from 7 am until 11pm daily.
To return to Cancun do the same in reverse.
There are several ways to get from the airport to Playa del Carmen, the first I will recommend is also the cheapest way.
The Riviera bus to Playa located at the west end of terminal 2 , 65 pesos for adults, 33 pesos for kids, this bus departs hourly from 10:30 am until 9:30 pm You can purchase tickets right inside the terminal building near the closest door to the bus.

If your plane lands at terminal 1, there are free shuttles to terminal 2, shown below

The next way would be to take a colectivo from the airport to your hotel, you can purchase tickets at the kiosk in the airport.

Private transportation, you can arrange this in advance and they will be there waiting for you. Two that I recommend are:

Isla Mujeres
from Cancun Airport
There's more than one way! The one that I would recommend is taking the bus from the airport to the downtown Cancun bus station. This bus is red, the sign in the window will say Aeropuerto, it is located at the west end of terminal 2. Right next to the blue bus that goes to Playa del Carmen.You can purchase tickets right inside the terminal building near the closest door to the bus.The buses run approx. every 30 minutes beginning at 5:30 AM until around midnight. The cost is 15 pesos. From the Cancun bus station take a taxi to Puerto Juarez. There are now two different ferry services, Puerto Cancun is the first one you will see, the other is the original Puerto Juarez dock and is just a little ways up the street.
Both are 35 pesos and run every 1/2 hour.

The other option is the collectivo which would be around $9.00 per person, this is a shared ride and some passengers may be going to the Cancun hotel zone. This could make your trip to Puerto Juarez very long.
