Authorized taxis, minivans (or collectivos), and private cars are the best way to make the journey from the airport to your hotel. Transportation options can be accessed as you exit the terminal to your right. A private taxi to downtown Cancún: $16–$25 USD. A private taxi to the Hotel Zone: more than $36 USD. Collectivos provide transportation to downtown Cancún: $5–$15 USD. A private car service to your hotel can be arranged: more than $36 USD. Rental cars are available at the airport and on this Web site: more than $36 USD. Note: Only authorized taxis are allowed to transport guests from the airport to their hotels.

Amenity highlights: Both pools in the hotel's courtyard measure 35 by 35 feet. One is child-friendly. A sundeck bordered by lawns and gardens surrounds the pools and is furnished with lounge chairs. Adjacent to the adults' pool is an open-air snack bar at which guests' complimentary Continental breakfast is served buffet-style.

Insider tip: Although taxis await at the hotel's entrance, public buses provide day-and-night service along the street running the length of Cancún Island and to the downtown area just off Cancún Island. Buses stop at all shopping centers, restaurants, beaches, and Cancún's 100-plus resort hotels.
