So, what’s the deal with the new ADO route in the Cancun hotel zone?
In local travel news this week, we learned that ADO has a new bus service from Cancún International Airport to the Hotel Zone. This service picks up at the airport and drops you off at Plaza La Fiesta in the Hotel Zone.
That is pretty cool, BUT, then what?
- It's important to note that you get dropped in the middle of the HZ and NOT at your hotel. Where is your resort? How do you get there? Where is your icy cold welcome drink???
- Do you really want to lug your suitcase while navigating Cancun after a long travel day?
- Most resorts are a good distance from the main road, you will still need to hoof it to get to the resort entrance if you take the bus. This is often over a km of walking in the blistering sun. With your luggage. That welcome drink better be a bucket of ice water and come with a massage and a towel.

While ADO’s new one-way service in Cancun may seem to be a budget-friendly option, getting back to the airport isn’t super simple. There is NO return ADO bus to the airport. Why waste time figuring it out later?
In my opinion, booking a pre-paid round-trip Cancun Airport transfer is still the best way to get to the hotel zone resorts and back to the airport for your return flight home.
- No extra steps, no surprises - just reliable door to door service.
- No mucking about with coins, currency and GPS coordinates for local busses or unscrupulous taxis
- Arrive at your Cancun resort refreshed, relaxed, and ready for paradise.
