A practical review of eTransfers’ private Cancun Airport to Tulum transfer, with comfort, timing, meeting points, vehicle size, and service concerns.

“This is a scam. They will sell you a private transfer to your resort and it is not. They told us this story about not having enough vans, we could ride with other people, or we would have to wait longer. So, we agreed to ride with another group. However the other group didn’t agree. So what did they do? They took the other group that wasn’t willing to share and took Them to resort. And made us wait Anyways. Afterwards, there were two Other couples that arrived after us that were whisked away in vans- and continued to make us wait Until another group agreed to Ride with us.…”

12.Private transportation CUN Airport-Tulúm Center & Hotel Zone

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 3 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours (approx.) · from $75

Private Cancun Airport to Tulum transfer with air conditioning, text coordination, group discounts, and direct hotel-zone drop-off.

“Communication with administration was good. However, the driver didn’t know the address of the drop off even though it was shared with the administration in advance. Didn’t deliver to the exact address even though he had to drive just another 600 feet. We had to wait for our family to be picked up and get to our final destination. Overall good if you can speak Spanish and explain to the driver where exactly you need to be. Even showing the map to the driver didn’t help and we had to call our family to get us. The car wasn’t clean. There were remnants of food and trash on the seats.”
