Ways to Get to Playa Paraiso from Cancun Airport"

Best Option: Private Transportation to Playa Paraiso

The easiest, most comfortable and safest way to get from Cancun Airport to Playa Paraiso is to book a private shuttle to Tulum. This service will take you directly to your hotel or villa and can even include a nice cold beer for the ride.

Why?

Booking a private shuttle ensures a smooth and reliable ride. The bus only gets you to Tulum Centro and you have to manage your own bags and negotiate and navigate in Spanish. Taxis to Playa Paraiso can be unpredictable, and while Uber is available, it’s not without its issues due to conflicts with the local taxi unions.

Local Tip: Cancun’s airport can be chaotic, with many “taxi” offers from unlicensed drivers, which can be scams. Stick with a trusted, pre-arranged transfer service to Playa Paraiso, Riviera Maya and avoid unnecessary risks.

DENISE REID - 9 days ago Cancun Airport Transportation to The Grand Mayan at Vidanta Riviera Maya

Overall good service. We easily found someone to help us once we left the airport terminal. He was friendly enough. Our drive had our two cold waters waiting for us once we go on the shuttle. We purchased roundtrip service and pick-up at our resort was fairly close to our scheduled pick-up time.

AMBER - 13 days ago Cancun Airport Transportation to Iberostar Selection Paraiso Lindo Playa Del Carmen

We used Happy Shuttle Cancun from transportation for 4 from the Cancun airport to Iberostar Lindo. We speak no Spanish but this was not a problem. They were easy to find in the area outside of the baggage claim. The person who checked us in was friendly and professional. We were in the van within 10 minutes. The return trip was just as efficient and easy. The vans was new, clean and air conditioned. The drivers were kind and professional. Everything was flawless-- I would highly recommend this service!
