Getting there

The main point of arrival Cancun International Airport is 50.2km from the hotel.

From Cancun Airport by car:

Take the only highway south towards Playa, and wait until you will see the green exit (on your left hand side) signs for Playa.

Wait until you pass most of them and take the exit that says "AVENIDA JUAREZ", one of the last.

Take a left, and drive all the way along Avenida Juarez until the end, where you will be forced to take a left (one way street), upon meeting Avenida 10.

Drive along Avenida 10 for about 10 blocks until, on your right hand side, you will see La Tortuga Hotel at the corner of Calle (street) 14.

Other transportation available from the airport includes:

  • buses that leaves from outside the main arrival hall at the airport. Just before you exit the terminal, there is a Riviera counter where you can buy your ticket (about USD9). In Playa del Carmen the bus works out of the main bus terminal at 5th Avenue and Juarez.
  • a colectivo is (usually) a van that will take up to 10 people. They don't leave at any specific time, but you will have to wait until it's full enough to justify the trip. You may have to make stops at other resorts and hotels along the way, which can easily double the time it will take you to get to Playa del Carmen. To take one of these authorized taxis, go to any of the TTC kiosks located around the terminal and buy a ticket, or just step out of the arrival hall and you will get many offers. The price usually works out to about USD18 per person.
  • taxis that depart from the terminal. It is roughly a 45 minute ride to Playa del Carmen. A union controls who can carry tourists from the airport and what they charge. Taxis originating in Playa del Carmen are not actually authorized to take people to Playa, but you may end up with a driver that cannot find his way around Playa very well. The ride to Playa del Carmen will cost you around USD65.
  • airport transfers are available 24 hours a day, no extra costs for late night pick-ups or departures. Approximate amount for transfer is USD55 for one or two people.
