Transportation...Taxi, Bus, Collectivo oh my?


Our resort will be a wonderful haven from the hustle and bustle of the tourist, cruise ship visitors and other people invading the local scene. However if the local town is what you want -- you will need to get transportation. So what are your options?

Well I believe it's about just under 2miles, about 1.7 miles from our resort to Puerto Morelos walking on the beach. If driving it's 5 miles taking the twisty roads, 6.5 take the 307 straight highway..and I did find this information which says it's just under 4 miles if you walk the beach...soI'm not quite sure if it is 2 or 4miles. This will be a task to find out once we get there. So the taxi may be our best bet at this point! I saw information that there is a max of 4 in a taxi cab, still more tidbit of info.

Other optional modes of transportation to get further down to places like Cancun or Playa del Carmen are also colectivos which are vans that run north & south (pending which side youstand on the highway) from approximately 5am to 10pm. Many of the local hotel workers use this mode of transportation. So keep in mind that start & finish work hours can be busy times and crowded...plan accordingly.

There are also buses that you can take as well. Check out more information on TravelYucatan.com or this other helpful website by a local bookstore in Puerto Morelos
