TIPS FOR TRAVELING TO THE RESORT FROM CANCUN AIRPORT
You will soon enjoy warm ocean breezes and waves gently crashing onto a beautiful sandy beach. All will be well, but first, you will navigate from the Cancun airport to Dreams Playa Mujeres/Secrets Playa Mujeres. This guide is intended to alleviate stress concerning navigating the Cancun Airport and ground transportation to the resort.
​
​
Cancun Airport
Cancun airport has been modernized and is very easy to navigate.  Upon deplaning, you will be routed through the terminal to Immigration.  After passing through Immigration, you will be in the Baggage Claim area and can pick up your bags at the appropriate carousel.  Once you have your bags, follow the crowds.  They no longer have you go through customs, so you will gather your bags and head directly to the exit, a series of sliding glass doors. Â
Once you exit the Baggage Claim area, you will walk through a corridor lined with vendors offering various services, including rides and excursions (see 1st picture).  Ignore the vendors and continue walking down the corridor until you exit through another set of glass doors (see 2nd picture).  Afterward, you will be outside, where the ground transportation companies are gathered (see 3rd picture).

Ground Transportation
Use any ground transportation company you are familiar with.  We like to use a service that offers private rides directly to the resort.  Be wary of the vacation club transportation options, such as Apple Vacations.  These services will load you on a large bus, and you will make multiple stops before ultimately arriving at your destination.  A reputable and reliable ground transportation company we regularly use is Amstar.A private round-trip transfer will cost around $125.
If you elect to use Amstar, you will look for an Amstar representative once you have arrived outside the terminal.  They generally hold a sign and wear colorful blue short sleeve shirts.  Give them the party's last name on the reservation, and they will escort you to a location where you will check-in.  Once checked in, they will escort you to the parking bay, where your van will be waiting.  The attendant/driver will help load the luggage.  Don’t hesitate to grab a refreshment or two for the ride.  Beverages can be purchased at a tiki bar right outside the terminal or from cart vendors that will be located around the transportation area.  They will be happy to accept your US dollars
READY TO GO!
Transfer to the Resort
The ride from the airport to the resort is about one hour.  It would be shorter, except there is construction on the highway that heads north from the airport to Cancun.  Given the resort's location, you will travel through the City of Cancun, and the resort is a short distance north of downtown.  The traffic can be heavy due to the construction and your arrival time.  Don’t be surprised if the driver elects to detour and take you around the construction by going through the hotel district.  We recommend tipping your driver on arrival at your destination
Resort Arrival
On arrival, you will be greeted by resort staff that will unload your luggage. They will have a cold beverage waiting for you. You will receive luggage tags and then be directed to the check-in desk. Assuming your rooms are ready, you can go straight to your room, and the bellhops will bring your luggage. Depending on your arrival time, you may need to wait until your rooms are available
