Tips for a Better Travel Experience in Cancun Airport

Cancun Airport is the second largest in Mexico and one of the largest in Latin America. Cancun Airport received over 25 Million passengers only during 2018. Cancun and Mayan Riviera continue to be one of the safest places in Mexico where you can enjoy peace and quiet or never-ending parties and dance. However, due to the huge number of passengers arriving, Cancun airport can sometimes be overwhelming and stressing. You might even take more than one hour from the moment you leave your plane till you exit the airport. Moreover, it can get even worse when you cross the exit door to the Taxis and Tour Operators area.

Don’t worry, all is fine, you will find a lot of people, which can cause an impact. However most of the people you will see there are honest Tourist Operators waiting for their passengers from a pre-hired service. The issue lies in the fact that “most” is not “all”.

The importance of pre-hiring a transfer:

When you pre-hire a private transfer, you ensure that someone will be waiting for you, and only for you, at the exit of the airport. For example, if you hired a transfer from Cancun to Tulum or any other destination in the Mayan Riviera, the transportation company will be waiting for you with a sigh with your name on it.  You will not have to deal with waiting on line to purchase a ticket for a taxi, or waiting for a van to be filled with passengers to be on your way. You will also not go hotel hopping dropping passengers off, which can take a lot of time from your precious vacations.

After being on the go all day since the time you left home, then wait 2 hours or more to get on your plane, the flight hours, the endless lines at migration and customs, and the hassle of the people when you exit the airport, wouldn’t you like someone to be ready to pick you up and be on your way to your hotel in a recent model, air conditioned, clean, safe and comfortable van only for your party?

You will most likely be approached by some persons arguing your transfer will not be there and that will even tell you the van broke and they will not be arriving or any sort of excuse for you to go with them, attention this is not true. They want your business and will only make you lose money, time and peace. If you booked with Paradise Transfers or any other legal and fully authorized company, we will be there. If you don’t see us for any reason, remember you have several ways to get in touch with you such as our WhatsApp number, local phone, cell phone or email. There is free Wi-Fi at the airport. Paradise Transfers will always be there for you or we will try to contact you with any means you gave us to contact you.

One of the greatest advantages when booking online a pre -hired transfer is the price. You will find the best prices online and from stablished and proven companies.

So, begin to enjoy your stay since the moment you are with your transportation company. You can even order drinks or stop at a convenience store to get snacks and drinks.

Once you arrive to your destination your options increase exponentially. You can enjoy the amazing beaches, exquisite regional and famous Mexican food, indulge yourself with breath-taking views of the area or have a tour to any of the magnificent zones of the region.

Happy Father's Day!

POEM:
God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
he wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle's flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so,
He called it ... Dad
