Cancun Transportation

Hi, this big mexican weekend from the 12 to the 16 I will be in Cancun. And I will like to know if we need car. We will be at the Aqua and would like to drive to Xcaret and the malls, and all that.

for getting around the hotel zone, which is the entire length of Kulkulkan Blvd, up through to the downtown area, Cancun has a very efficient public bus system. The cost is 6.5 pesos per person, per ride.

 

Parking can be scarce, so for getting around town, shopping and dining out, we don't bother with a rental car. Most people who go to Xcaret do so on a tour offered through their hotel.

 

I would suggest renting a car just for the day you plan to do your Xcaret excursion, for just getting around the HZ, the bus system is the way to go. The bus you'd probably use the most is the R-1, "Hoteles"

 

hope this helps you out, and enjoy Independence day!

When I went to Cancun this summer, we intended on using the buses, but we ended up taking taxis. This buses seemed overcrowded and it seemed only locals used them (not that there's anything wrong with that!!). We spent a LOT of money that week on taxi cab rides. We stayed at Barcelo Costa in hotel zone and only a couple of shops were within walking distance, but not REAL shops and definitely not the malls. We had to drive to the malls and all of the restaurants and clubs (like Bubba Gump, Margaritaville, Coco Bongo, etc, etc). We never paid less than 10-15 dollars to get ANYWHERE. One way.
