Or you can go to the Jungle Hotel Uolis Nah, from 307 and take a right at the traffic light and go for the Coba road. In about 200 mt on the left, you will see a sign for Jungle Hotel Uolis Nah and some flags.
Transportation
There are several options in getting to Tulum from Cancun airport or from Playa Del Carmen. Here are your options:
Rent A Car:
This is your most convenient option as then you will be mobile throughout your trip to sightsee. The cheapest is to reserve your car online. We have had success with Thrifty car rental. Please note that making a reservation online does not mean your car will be ready. In most cases be prepared for a bit of a wait to get your car.
If you want to wait until you arrive, there is a wide selection of car rental companies in the terminal as you arrive in Cancun. They do charge a fee if you do not want to return the car to Cancun and would like to drop it off in Playa Del Carmen or Tulum.
Green Line or Grey Line Shuttles:
There are vans that drop people off throughout the Riviera Maya. They charge $35 USD per person and will drop you off right at your hotel. You must wait for the 15 passenger vans to fill up before they leave so you could wait a little bit. Also, Tulum is their last stop and they wait until they have other clients going close to Tulum. This also could mean a little bit of a wait. But, hey, it's Mexico, right, and you are on vacation!
Taxi:
The fastest and easiest way is to just hire a taxi to take you to your hotel. You will pay about $90 USD to arrive in Tulum and you can fit up to 4 people in the taxi. This is the more efficient if you have a group of 4 or less.
Bus:
The bus is your cheapest option. They charge you $8 USD and they leave to Playa Del Carmen every hour. You catch them at the far right end of the airport as you exit the terminal. You must walk past the airport and you will find the buses parked in a parking lot. The name is ADO. Once you arrive in Playa Del Carmen you must then take a bus to Tulum. This costs about $6 USD. You will arrive in the heart of Tulum and from there you can take a taxi to the hotel for about $4 USD. |
