ADO Aeropuerto Cancún Playa del Carmen recent customer reviews

Enjoyed how quick and easy when getting to the bus stop. Didn’t enjoy how far it was to get to the bus stop. There were no signs and had to ask at least 4 people to make sure I was going the right way.

They did not honor my ticket because they said I had to be at terminal 2 . It was the same bus they made me buy a new ticket.

The ladies at the ado stand at Cancun airport were quite rude. One of them seemed to get frustrated when I asked a question. The bus I had booked left early resulting in me missing my booked bus. I got on another one about 30 mins later but it seemed like it was an inconvenience for all. Apart from that it was a straightforward journey.
